A tremendous influence on pop music, Eddie Cochran was a vibrant young member of the early rock 'n' roll scene of the late 1950s until his death in 1960. The most notable of his recordings, 'Summertime Blues', was something of a cultural landmark, a simple and rambunctious vocalisation of teenage unrest and rebellion that, to this day, is the most recognisable song Cochran ever wrote. Also included on this 'Very Best Of' collection are some of his lesser known, but still influential, tunes - the posthumously-released 'Three Steps To Heaven' particularly worthy of mention.
