There was no limitations ,Eddie could sang anything with so much ease. He had everything going for him .There was something about his looks, very extraordinary ways that made him remarkable good looking.
Thank you so much for uploading this! I, too, am a big fan of Eddie C. I used to cover "Nervous Breakdown" in my old band's sets sometimes. In fact, I would segue from Cochran's "Breakdown" into the Stones' "19th Nervous Breakdown." I used to preface the numbers by saying, "Now is the point in our set where I 'go mental'."
Thanks mirlimirli, this is great but I agree hearing Eddie state his plans and knowing he never seen them come true is sad.......Thanks for posting!!!!!!!
Yes, and the Brits stuck by American r&b and soul acts (including girl groups) long after America stopped listening. Tina Turner and The Ronettes were treated like royalty (pun intended) in England, long after many Americans ceased caring. In fact, Turner's "River Deep, Mountain High" was a chart-topper in the UK, only peaked around the low 80's on the American Billboard 100, and was producer Phil Spector's first big failure that sent him into virtual retirement at 25 years old.
Likewise, the Brit punks had extraordinary admiration for The New York Dolls and The Ramones, who would influence British punk bands such as The Clash and The Sex Pistols, who likewise made a small splash in the States (although neither as commercially successful as the Brit Invasion bands had been in the '60s). Billy Idol and The Police were the most successful acts in the States to have emerged from the Brit punk scene.
I like a lot of Elvis Presley's music, but I think he is overexposed, while poor Eddie (and Ricky Nelson, and The Everly Brothers, among others) have gotten the short shrift, insofar as '50s rockers are concerned.
Yeah Eddie was having plans just before he died. It never happened, but the things he had done is what he should've been proud of. This sounds really scratchy and distorted; is hard to listen to. No disrespect.

@gangerollo Shows what you know.There were no age restrictions at shows in the UK back in the late 50's/Early 60's
