Summer Time Blue's one of the greatest Rock n Roll songs ever! which I still play every so often! Those were the best times, and thank god I can still remember them! Rest in peace Eddy...
I was 14yr old when this wonderful young man was killed. I loved his songs so much, and was just so sad when we learned he had been killed in a car crash. I often thought of what he would have become, a huge continuing sucess. I also thought of how his poor dear mother and father were just devastated and, hurt the rest of their lives. Their all together in Heaven now with our Wonderful Lord Jesus to comfort them forever. Thank you Sir for this video.
What's a sad memory for you at such young age? It was terribly unfortunate for a man with such a bright future head. But thank you for your recollections Alan
All the the good ones died young iam a fan of all the great rock and roll of the 50s 60s and big fan of him and buddy holly they all died to young R.I.P
After hearing "Summertime Blues as a young boy in the 50s at a local Pleasure park It was the start of my love of "Rock "N"Roll".Had he lived he would have been the "King of "Rock "N'Roll". Been a big fan since I was a young boy. RIP "Eddie ".Best wishes from East Yorkshire UK 🇬🇧.
All these years I never realised that Eddie Cochran died in the UK and not the US. I wasn’t born until a good few years after but even so. Thanks for showing us all the memorials 👍🏻
Hello Nick, exactly he was American but he was touring in the UK he felt very homesick for the USA and for his mother and the painful thing is he was on his way home that evening. Well pretty sad. Thank you, Alan,
Eddie Cochran was way head of his time wrote his own songs also could play the Drums if he had lived he would of wrote songs for other people such an iconic singer his songs will live forever he was that good Jimi Hendrix had Eddie Cochran songs played at his funeral he was one of Jimi Hendrix idol's. From a Teddy Boy 🎶🎼📻🎶🎼
Nice tribute video to Eddie thanks Alan 👍 he left this world way to young 💔 but his talent and music will live forever 🎶🎶🎸🎸 safe travels on your journeys good to see you back
I was born at that Hospital on the 21st but, my mum was admitted on the 17th & she said it was awful because all the nurses were crying as like my mum they were all fans. Ive never seen the hospital so thank you for giving me a glimpse. Ive always felt a connection to it all tbh. Great video & good to see you back x
Hello Caroline, what's a fascinating memory of that moment from your mother's perspective? They probably would be young and like you say fans and it would seem such a tragedy. You will have a connection and in your instance it was a great connection with your birth you will have a connection and in your instance, it was a great connection with your birth. All the best, Alan
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep My mum was 21 when she had me. She used to say she thought the reason I love music so much was because of what happened with him leaving & my arriving lol, she was very serious about that lol! x P.S Beep beep is still sitting on my table waiting to ride shotgun with you!
Come on at Ben I want you with my publicity agent how much will it cost me? But the best and funniest thing is I've got one thumbs up :-))))))) thank you friend, I appreciate. Regards, Alan
Thank you, Alan. Another great video. I would put Eddie Cochran along with Buddy Holly Chuck Berry Ritchie Valens and Ricky Nelson As my favourite American Rock and roll singers
Hi Mega Thank you! I really enjoy doing them I researched them and then memorise the main facts and then go with the flow. That's really kind of you 😎 all the best, Alan
Alan, I love your channel and the way you touch the headatones and thank them for their talents to pay your respects. Eddie's monument is very cleverly designed... Three Steps to Heaven! Best to luck for the future, Alan..See you soon.
Without Eddie, there would be no Pete Townsend, Rod Stewart, Led Zep, Marc Bolan, or Hendrix. He was a fabulous talent who left far too early. It speaks volumes that six decades after his premature passing, nobody had a bad word to say about him. Like James Dean, he will remain forever young.
Thank you for this, Eddie was my `first love when I was 13 years old`. I named one of my daughter`s Sharon after his girlfriend. I am still his number one fan. I remember the day that I heard that he had passed. Rest in Peace Eddie. xxx
Hello silver stars, well, that's wonderful that you're such a big fan. Did you hear the story about them? Working up in a panic in the hotel. Screaming and the manager came to him and he told the guy he thought he had a premonition of his death which happened the following year. I believe that's really weird. Glad you enjoyed it. Been such a big admirer. Thank you Alan
@@MotorHomeBeepBeep I watched the Sharon Sheeley interview about Eddie, also I have a couple of books about Eddie as well. I want to say that you have done a great video, thank you. x
I was born in Bath and grew up not far from Chippenham Wiltshire, back in the 70s it was local knowledge about Eddie Cochran being killed, however I was told it was on Dauntsey bend which was a and probably still is a notorious crash site. So thanks for clarifying that for me after 40+ years! Great to see you back out thanks so much love the new content, going to sleep now it's midnight in Sydney!!
Hello Tracy, how fantastic that! I'm reaching Australia but I can see that this text you back to your roots so it must be nice, particularly for you to know the true story and see some of the old stomping ground. Thank you, Alan
This is CRAZY!!! I grew up in Chippenham and that's the story I heard too (or maybe it was Pusham), but later found the true story, after leaving Chippenham (1971),I moved to Bath, not a hundred yards from St. Martins....I'm off to there tomorrow! Thank you Alan for putting me wise!
Thank you, so much for responding to my message about Eddie Cochran, if you can remember, I requested for you too look at Eddie Cochran's spot, from your viewer Ashley Maunder 😀
Thank you so much, Ashley! I am sorry if I didn't recall, you may have been the trigger that cost me to make this film but I don't know but I wanted to do it because of my partner who died last year but thank you very much. Keep in touch Best Alan
Thanks Alan for this tribute - I remember hearing about the crash on the news when I was 13 - I have a greatest hits album and on it my favourite song of his was 'Cut Across Shorty'.
Brilliant, well researched and very interesting. Cant believe he was only 21, so sad. Thank you for leaving the flower, totally agree with you about cut flowers, well done!!💖
Thank you, Andrea it does seem was cut off in his prime. Which is what would happen if I put the live flower 🌹 thank you for the great comment. Regards, Alan
Wonderful job on this video. Thank you. Most of you do not know but Eddie’s nephew, Bobby’s beautiful daughter, Bree, lost her life in a car crash on April 17, 1999. She was also 21. Very sad. I have a feeling Eddie met her at the gates of heaven. 🙏😍🙏🙏❤️❤️
Nice to see you back Alan. I was too young to remember Eddie Cochrane but do know some of his songs. Such a tragic end to his life when he was obviously so talented and would have been up there with the other greats. Fortunately the music still plays on and brings back many memories for some of us to cherish.
A great video Alan, as always, and presented beautifully by you. I didn't know much about Eddie, if anything, but I enjoyed your summary of his tragically short life. Nice to see you back Alan and I look forward to many more. Thank you.
Hello Louise, that is very sweet of you. I do genuinely enjoy making the films in every respect and sometimes it becomes very enveloping but it's nice especially when people like you enjoy. Thank you. See you in the future. Regards, Alan
Great video Alan brings back memories l was living in my home town Bristol when Eddie died. Later l worked at the Locarno dance hall when Dave Dee Dozy Beaky Mitch&Titch performed.Loved those days,l remember crying when l heard the news about Eddie.Thanks for this video it was great seeing the memorials.
Nice to see you back Alan and bringing this remarkable tribute he was such a talented person and its so sad that he died at a young age and with all that talent Well done Alan Thank you very much for bringing this video and well researched
Hi Alan really appreciate all the time and effort you put into making your videos i was 9 when he died always loved his music like all good music it never dies looking forward to your next video 👍❤
Hello! Net that's really super to hear that. I can imagine being nine years old. You could remember it so well. It makes me very pleased that you enjoyed the time and in a sad way Eddie going was big news. All these years later he's still popular. Thank you for your insight to the time. Regards, Alan
How sad, he was obviously loved by many and such kind things the fans did to remember him. Love your new camper van , and great to see you back , hope your well Alan , we missed you xxx
Hello Wendy, I hope you're feeling okay too? I know you had. problems. Yes, it is my bit of sort of luxurious hahaha. Why not? I spend a lot of years working. Lovely to see you W Alan
@MotorHomeBeepBeep hi Alan, I'm actually just waiting to talk to specialists today, all my results are back in and they looking and all seem to be connected in some way, from what I do know there's not much can be done, but hopefully will learn how to live with findings and just get on best I can, but im just waiting for confirmation, will keep you updated, and thank you xxx
This is truly a great video. It ticks all the boxes very interesting, emotional,well presented, I could go on and on but most of the comments have said it already And yes I am so happy that you are back too. Looking forward to watching some more of your brilliant work. God bless.
Jacqueline You sent a shiver down my spine sometimes words don't express how you feel and I thank you for being so kind with your comment. I love people and psychology. I just enjoyed remembering these exceptional people. Thank you. See you again, I hope Alan
Hello alan welcome backthank you for another fantastic video, i remember everyone going crazy for eddie cochran in the late 1950s its such a shame we lost him at a young age take care best wishes from sue and vic
Good to see you Alan, I really enjoyed the video, such a short life and tragic end and he’s still remembered in 2023 because we loved his music. He was a lovely man. Glad you’ve got a lovely new motor home too. Take care. Joan.
A lovely Heartfelt tribute ,Alan . I still have many of his songs on the London label . Some of my favourite songs include ; Jeanie Jeanie , A pocket full of Hearts , and , Cut across Shorty .
This was a very informative history, and wonderfully presented. I never knew this, that Eddie, even in the most traumatic and stressful seconds of his young life, thought FIRST to shield his girlfriend from the harm he had to know was coming. That speaks volumes about what kind of a man he was.
Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochrane I remember so well in 1960 I was 12 so sad. All very familiar names to me and I played them on my portable record player, $10,000 was a lot then. Lovely memorial.
I'm sure I heard Joe Brown used to use a banjo string in place of the 3rd guitar string as it is slightly thicker. Eddies guitar sound is very unique. Great musician.
That's exactly it Tim Eddie had. I believe an extra string on the guitar maybe also on the banjo, but he gave him a kind of unique sound at Joe brown copied and kept it a secret. Fantastic! Thank you, Alan
As a long time guitar player myself...I also heard Eddie used a thiner B string as an E string to help with his wild Country sounding bends.... Stevie Ray Vaughan used 13 or even 15 gauge for first E.....!!...But you need hands of steel to bend THOSE....!!!!..Great video...Always Watching..!!...Best wishes from Plymouth UK..!!
Wow didn't know all that about him he died so young. I don't remember his music at the time I was to young but definitely heard his music over the years. Very informative thanks Alan for another brilliant video love from Holmfirth West Yorkshire 💙 💚
Hi Gill he did make some timeless classics I agree but I did keep thinking about you because I wanted to give you a call because I know you have supported me on the channel and I will do that. You know it's like sometimes life is so busy but you've been very kind and thank you for like in my videos. We'll have a chat soon I hope Alan Night
Hello Steve, exactly you would assume that both would have been much bigger, even though in a small way their restricted time made them more important and young icons, etc so who knows. But their content was so good. I think they would have been much more influential stars
Great to see you back Alan. Brightened a rainy Sunday afternoon. What an interesting story and so sad too. But look at what he achieved in such a short life. A true star! Beautiful memorials to him also. My heart goes out to you in your grief for Pauline. I know what grief is like I miss my sweetheart and our adventures so very much. Sounds like you and I were blessed with wonderful people to share our lives with. Happy trails look forward to your next video.
Hi NMGThank you so much! It's been a tough 6 months but I'm finally in a better place. Thank you for the wonderful comments as always, you're a superstar subscriber 😊 a superstar subscriber. Thanks, Alan
Hi Alan great content back in the day I bought an l p record album from a vintage record store in north London called Eddie Cochran memorial album and the price was 1.50 unbelieavable labelled by unplayed best album I ever bought
I think that song was wonderful and I shouldn't say, but I think he was much better than Tommy Steele. From what I know it was a classic and it still sounds great today. Thank you my friend
Love this video Alan... love the 3 steps to heaven... took me a minute to work out its not upside down... the first step is the bottom one ......now got you in my tv via amazon fire TV, love your videos, let us know how we can buy a tshirt, kind regards Ty
Hi Phil wasn't it for now? The steps are the wrong way around. I couldn't believe it. I won't be the only one to have noticed, but the monument was nice from the fans. I'm glad you like my films and keep in touch. I love doing them. There's some great people on this channel and I I love chatting with them. It's a little community. I'll let you know about the shirts. I just don't at time but I'll put a link on the community tab soon. See you around my friend. Alan
My grandad was the guy who found him, my Nan looked after his girlfriend too just after the crash. They had amazing memories of that night. They were interviewed and it was on UA-cam, I’m desperately trying to find it again.
My wife's from Eddie's home town of Albert Lea, Minnesota and he remains a legend there. (The other big celebrity from AL is Marion Ross, of Happy Days. ) In fact, the whole twon celebrates Eddie Cochran Days every summer. Sometimes my brother in law gets out his vintage Chevy and drives in the parade.
Summer Time Blue's one of the greatest Rock n Roll songs ever! which I still play every so often! Those were the best times, and thank god I can still remember them! Rest in peace Eddy...
I could not agree more it's a classic that could never be improved upon
He’s still my favourite, and I still play his songs now!
I was 14yr old when this wonderful young man was killed. I loved his songs so much, and was just so sad when we learned he had been killed in a car crash. I often thought of what he would have become, a huge continuing sucess. I also thought of how his poor dear mother and father were just devastated and, hurt the rest of their lives. Their all together in Heaven now with our Wonderful Lord Jesus to comfort them forever.

That is very encouraging of you. It makes the channel feel worthwhile when people put such nice comments. Look after yourself. Alan
Without Eddie, there would be no Pete Townsend, Rod Stewart, Led Zep, Marc Bolan, or Hendrix. He was a fabulous talent who left far too early.

really good video, thanks
Hi Alan glad to see you back mate.
Hi WV and me to you Thanks Mate
Great video Allan
Steven
Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochrane I remember so well in 1960 I was 12 so sad. All very familiar names to me and I played them on my portable record player, $10,000 was a lot then. Lovely memorial.
I'm sure I heard Joe Brown used to use a banjo string in place of the 3rd guitar string as it is slightly thicker. Eddies guitar sound is very unique. Great musician.
That's exactly it Tim Eddie had. I believe an extra string on the guitar maybe also on the banjo, but he gave him a kind of unique sound at Joe brown copied and kept it a secret. Fantastic! Thank you, Alan
As a long time guitar player myself...I also heard Eddie used a thiner B string as an E string to help with his wild Country sounding bends.... Stevie Ray Vaughan used 13 or even 15 gauge for first E.....!!...But you need hands of steel to bend THOSE....!!!!..Great video...Always Watching..!!...Best wishes from Plymouth UK..!!
Legend.
Great video Alan never knew he died in the UK . 💖
Hi Tricia nice that you found it interesting .
he was great him and buddy holly
Wow didn't know all that about him he died so young. I don't remember his music at the time I was to young but definitely heard his music over the years. Very informative thanks Alan for another brilliant video love from Holmfirth West Yorkshire 💙 💚
Hi Gill he did make some timeless classics I agree but I did keep thinking about you because I wanted to give you a call because I know you have supported me on the channel and I will do that. You know it's like sometimes life is so busy but you've been very kind and thank you for like in my videos. We'll have a chat soon I hope Alan Night
@MotorHomeBeepBeep I've just gone through all your videos to see if I've missed any and I haven't I've watched every single one 💙💚
Thanks Alan, i think Eddie would have gone on to be even bigger than than he was, like Buddy, we've lost a lot of great songs.
Hello Steve, exactly you would assume that both would have been much bigger, even though in a small way their restricted time made them more important and young icons, etc so who knows. But their content was so good. I think they would have been much more influential stars
Good one Alan. Your vids are so intetesting.
Many thanks! Lynne
Great to see you back Alan. Brightened a rainy Sunday afternoon. What an interesting story and so sad too. But look at what he achieved in such a short life. A true star! Beautiful memorials to him also. My heart goes out to you in your grief for Pauline. I know what grief is like I miss my sweetheart and our adventures so very much. Sounds like you and I were blessed with wonderful people to share our lives with. Happy trails look forward to your next video.

Lovely video Alan im a massive fan of The who they cover a few of eddie songs 🎵 including summer time blues .
Hello John, if I had to pick one it's summertime blues. Fantastic rhythm and good lyrics
Hi Alan great content back in the day I bought an l p record album from a vintage record store in north London called Eddie Cochran memorial album and the price was 1.50 unbelieavable labelled by unplayed best album I ever bought
HI LB Is not fascinating that you've got such a priceless personal possession that cost so little super! i buy it from you for 2.50 :-) Take care
Alan I remembered 1 of his songs Com on everybody great singer in his day he was like another 1 Tommy Steele
I think that song was wonderful and I shouldn't say, but I think he was much better than Tommy Steele. From what I know it was a classic and it still sounds great today. Thank you my friend
Love this video Alan... love the 3 steps to heaven... took me a minute to work out its not upside down... the first step is the bottom one ......now got you in my tv via amazon fire TV, love your videos, let us know how we can buy a tshirt, kind regards Ty
Hi Phil wasn't it for now? The steps are the wrong way around. I couldn't believe it. I won't be the only one to have noticed, but the monument was nice from the fans. I'm glad you like my films and keep in touch. I love doing them. There's some great people on this channel and I I love chatting with them. It's a little community. I'll let you know about the shirts. I just don't at time but I'll put a link on the community tab soon. See you around my friend. Alan
My grandad was the guy who found him, my Nan looked after his girlfriend too just after the crash. They had amazing memories of that night.
They were interviewed and it was on UA-cam, I’m desperately trying to find it again.
Oh very sad he died so young.x Thank you Alan x
Sandra X You :-)
My wife's from Eddie's home town of Albert Lea, Minnesota and he remains a legend there. (The other big celebrity from AL is Marion Ross, of Happy Days. )
In fact, the whole twon celebrates Eddie Cochran Days every summer. Sometimes my brother in law gets out his vintage Chevy and drives in the parade.
The memorial has been smartened up since I was last there. It was level with the ground on the verge with a car's wheel resting on it!
We miss you.
I've often visited his grave site at Forrest Lawn, Cypress California. My family members are also buried there.
His song 3 steps to heaven went to no 1 straight after his death
Well wasn't that a little chilling? He was a nice guy I'm think all was well
Hi there very sad
