Biography

Los Angeles, United States (1953 – 1960)

Eddie Cochran (October 3, 1938 - April 17, 1960) was an American rockabilly singer, songwriter and guitarist, considered one of the most influential musicians of the late ‘50s alongside Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley. A sharp-dressed, ruggedly handsome young man with a rebellious attitude and a raucous voice, Cochran epitomized the ’50s rocker. Killed in a tragic accident at the age of 21, Cochran achieved timeless, iconic status. Cochran’s rough, bass-driven singles such as “

C’mon Everybody”, “

Somethin’ Else”, and “

Summertime Blues” have inspired some to call him the “Grandfather of punk rock.”
