[davidortiz9113]

i love the songs of eddie she is one of the big singers in the 50's and ever

[maxonian206]

Oh how much better than that other song called My Way.

[bellgardens53]

@maxonian206 No comparision, though the other My Way is much more famous. Who said we live in a fair world? If I meet that person I show him fairness....6 feet under. *smile*

[DougPatton1]

When I say "Frog" ya jump !

[donn409]

I especially loved the lyric when he said, There ain't been a woman yet that can play me for a chump.

[mikeystrafford]

is there a better written rebelious song?  Mikey xx

Kids today huh? lol

[old65rocker]

Amazing lyrics, people talk about Bob Dylan and the lyrics he wrote but Eddie was just far ahead of his time very sexist for the 50s.Great stuff

[kenshirothefist3000]

eddie cochran es el mejor del rock and roll y punto

me encanta summertime blues

[bellgardens53]

@kmccurdy111 Have no clue what you are alluding to.

[bellgardens53]

Recorded Gold Star Studio - Hollywood Calif. January 17, 1959, 10.00 - 13.00. The released recording was a composite master of backing track 3 and vocal track 4. Musicians: Ed on vocal, gtr and overdub. Irving Asby-gtr. Connie 'Guybo' Smith-bs. Ray Johnson-pno. Jewell Grant-sax. Plas Johnson-sax. Jackie Kelso- sax. I assume that all 3 sax guys wasn't on this record at the same time as at this date also produced, "Teenage Heaven", "I Remember" and Rock 'n Roll Blues". But it's one fine rocker.

[Jim4979]

Eddie's music is universal for the ages:original lyrics and superb guitar work. That makes him so Great!!!!!

[8baller]

Who's the drummer then...? Earl Palmer?

[The170460]

@8baller probably

[MrEddiecochran]

Eddie cochran played all the instruments himself, he recorded them, and then put them together, he was the first to do this in history.

[8baller]

@MrEddiecochran Yea right, but who's on drums on this one? =)

[8baller]

@MrEddiecochran Yea right, but who's on drums on this one? =)

[AjaxEddiefan]

@8baller

Recorded January 1959, Goldstar Studios, Hollywood. Plas Johnson on sax, Earl Palmer on drums.

@MrEddiecochran Not on this tune dude!

[brian4858]

Eddie was my idol when I was growing up.more well known and loved in England than the states.(that's a fact).shame he died so young.would have love to have seen him and gene Vincent.2great rock n roll icons.r I p. To you both.

[gangerollo]

Wonder if it's Plas Johnson on sax? To tired checking sources or google... 8-)

[The170460]

@gangerollo yes it is

[gangerollo]

@The170460 Thanks for the fast reply.

[mikeystrafford]

How come Stray Cats never covered this amazing song? Chris Green.. where are ya dude?

Mikey xxx

[The170460]

@mikeystrafford it's hard to cover a masterpiece like this one. It's not rockabilly it's rock 'n' roll and the cats are not the best to covered rock 'n' roll masterpieces. Their covers of Somethin' Else, C'mon Everybody are not the best. They are better in their own repertoire.

[gangerollo]

@The170460 Second that. None can do Ed's stuff better than Ed.

[alxndr01]

Great number! I've never heard Eddie do this one. It is great!

[Franieblues]

EDDIE the kinf of rock n roll..je l'ADORE ! INOUBLIABLE INDEMODABLE!!

[chuckdee121]

When Eddie sang the blues, he'd tickle the heck out of our toes. They would just wiggle waggle, and we'd all dance the bop on bop street. Bring back them pretty girls, the malt shop, 57 chevies and Eddie Cochran!

[NichoSwe]

Probably the best Eddie Cochran song ever.

Love this song.

EPIC

[basslinewobbla08]

[stephan2467]

Eddie is still with us, even if he died 49 years ago. Never to be forgotten. RIP. Hope you have fun where ever U are. Say hello to Gene, Buddy, Carl, Elvis, Roy...

[greaser1993]

eddie cochran=cool

[greaser1993]

this song should be wayy wayy more famous than what it is it very underated

[AjaxEddiefan]

It wasn't released until 1964, four years after Eddie died. Lots of Eddie songs didn't "get their due", because he only released one album in his brief lifetime, and it was mostly love ballads.

[up2space]

don't fffffffffkkkk with Eddie Cochran. he's a rock and roll legend. from Oklahoma. he cut a few good numbers. when the business gave you the business.

[TeddyboyEd]

yesterday i hit someone in the head because he said that eddie cochran sucked

[up2space]

well done.

[gangerollo]

@TeddyboyEd You did? Well, I dunno if I hit someone saying Eddie sucks but I probably break his leg and castrate him. Hahaha ;O)

[oddjobjujitsu]

@TeddyboyEd ha ha the guy should be so lucky that's all you did.....nobody and i mean nobody can say eddie sucked......if you look up the word cool in a dictionary..next to it would just say eddie cochran

[bumblebeemoi]

@TeddyboyEd Good job!  You must be a Brit with the "TeddyBoy" reference.

[prescient8]

@TeddyboyEd - I would have done the same!!

[gangerollo]

@TeddyboyEd I think I have commented this one before but...it's a good one I have to say. Hahahahaha.... Yea, they should be spanked HARD or HANGED high from a good quality rope if they say anything bad about Ed. We got to protect his name and reputation or the civilicized western world as we know it, will cease exist.

[eugenecraddock]

Eddie is my favourite rock n roll singer with Gene Vincent. I've wrote many reviews about these two legends in the french magazine Juke Box.

[mikeystrafford]

I really don't understand why Brian Setzer never did a whole bunch of his songs. He is sooo suited, but that's probably why- i guess.

But, come on guys, can't we all just see Brian doing this sing?

Mikey Setzer x

[RoverTCB]

It's true the Stray Cats are great when it comes to coveriung Eddie's songs, but they stick to his most known material, I don't know why...

[valinmal]

Brian & the Cats did mostly originals. One was "Gene & Eddie" He LOVED Eddie C. & in the early days wore a leather jacket, that said "Gene Vincent" on the back. He also plays trombone and loves Bobby Darin who I think inspired the B.S. Orchestra

[TeddyboyEd]

it was slim jim with the leather jacket that said Gene vincent

[valinmal]

Hmm! They must have shared it.

[nicole48R]

EDDIE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!

[walt7500]

@nicole48R Almost the best!

[nicole48R]

the best Eddie

[basslinewobbla08]

one ov my fave songs n im the same eddie gota av my way lv claire cheers xx

[smudgey6120]

a big fave with me.....so gritty...damn i wish he had lived longer

[386due]

This song sums EDDIE"S philosophy on his life. great Job!

Jim.

[slimkit]

There was also Buddy Holly and to say one of them was the king is splitting hairs - Eddie Cochran and Buddy Holly were great guitar players and apparently so was Elvis.

[sakinehbs]

thewelly1973, lets not forget who the real king of Rock 'N roll is.Elvis

thans for posting

[walkercr]

Eddie was the REAL king of rock n' roll!!! Elvis was also good but Eddie had the brains to write his own material and also pioneered multitrack recording!!!

[sakinehbs]

I agree that he was smart and wrote his own material,unfortunatly he died so young even younger then Elvis.(sad)but we all know Elvis is the King. if Eddie woun't die so soon , who knows may be he would be the king.i love them both.

[old65rocker]

@sakinehbs Sound Comment

[eugenecraddock]

unfortunately this fantastic song was issued too much later by liberty records in 1964. Four years after eddie's death. I've never understand the commercial politic of Liberty. My way is a masterpiece

[RoverTCB]

You're right, this great song deserves more attention. I guess it wasn't released immediatly because it didn't fit with Eddie's image as a rocker...

[eugenecraddock]

at last in 1959 Eddie was considered to be a rocker and he had his final cut on issued songs on Libety records. Remember he had made 2 masterpieces at this time Summertime Blues and C'mon Everybody with strong sales in USA. Liberty wasn't a rock 'n' roll label and i thinks than the staff of the record company didn't understand what rock 'n' roll music was.

[mackemc57]

Eddie Cochran seemed to be a lot more popular in Britain than in the US, "My way" was released by Libertys' UKs division as a single in 1963 and peaked at #22 in May that year. Three stps to heaven had topped the UK charts in the summer of 1960

[AjaxEddiefan]

10-4 on Liberty's commercial strategy with Eddie. We know him for his rockin', but Si Waronker at Liberty always encouraged Eddie to "cover all the bases" by crooning like Pat Boone as well. They didn't know what rock was in 1959, thought it was a passing fad.

Even 'though these lyrics are sexist as hell, I absolutely love this song!

[eugenecraddock]

Si waronker stop to encouraged Eddie in his choices after the monster hit of Summertime Blues. But Eddie wa deserved by the lack of lp's productions during his lifetime. Only one lp was issued and wasn't representative of the Eddie's talent.

[AjaxEddiefan]

Very true, and well-said.

[bellgardens53]

I second you euhene... this s seldom played or ever mention when talking abouut Eddies best. Damn It have it all.

[thewelly1973]

the real king of rock n roll

[crazycaps]

Eddie was really a genius. Cool Man!

[scarletunderground]

I love finding this stuff!

[gangerollo]

Heavy macho stuff! Awesome gtr and sax.
