I LOVE EDDIE'S SONGS, LISTEN TOO HIS SONGS REGULARLY, I AM 69 YEARS OLD, AND A BIG FAN.. ❤❤❤❤
he was a real rocker
Eddie Was Really A Top Notch Singer, One Of The Best Ever.. Steve
Although recognized popularly as a rocker , his balladry was , in my opinion , every bit as good .
I’ve been past the crash site numerous times and always think about Eddie as I drive past.
had it been a two door, he would have survived .in a modern car, he quite likely would have survived
I'm 50s years of age and I've been a big fan since the late 70s. My friends were punks and skinheads but i was the rocker of the group. Rip Eddie cochran
Elvis was in the Army in 58 59 60 when Eddie Cochran was getting popular
@@wesleycook7687 , The Girl Can't Help It was released December 1st 1956 20 flight Rock was released as a single in 1957, Elvis came on the seen July 1954, Heartbreak Hotel his million-seller was released Jan. 1956 , Eddie Cochran Buddy Holly all copied Elvis's style they even admitted it, so did Gene Vincent June 1956 with be-bop-a-lula , Chuck Berry released Johnny B Goode was released March 1958 , I didn't say Elvis invented rock and roll I just said that he was around before all these other people, Fats Domino was around but he didn't have a hit untill 1956 November,
Elvis was already signed with RCA and established by then with a million-seller and the movie
We liked SOMETHIN' ELSE. Here comes that girl again. What a great lyric.
As someone of that generation
I was a great fan of Eddie coachman
Gene Vincent did not die in the crash. he suffered a bad leg for the rest of his life and he toured uk in the mid 60's. such a loss. Eddie was a beautiful and great natural talent
Agreed! I don’t believe we said Gene passed in that crash but later on, Gene indeed died young. An unfortunate trend for that time.
Nice tribute thanks.
Loved Eddie, his style, his looks, his song writing . He was cool. BUT, to compare him (or ANYONE ELSE) to Elvis is simply not fair. No one, before or since, compares to Elvis
Was Eddie Cochrane "the next Elvis"? ABSOLUTELY NOT!! Eddie was FAR more talented than Elvis ever thought of being. The only reason Elvis Presley is "The King" is because his manager promoted him that way. He was a decent singer (no better than Eddie) but couldn't play an instrument or write a song. Eddie was a virtuoso and a brilliant songwriter. Elvis stole most of his early hits from brilliant black blues players, then had songwriting teams and producers and talented musicians manufacture his hits after that.
Eddie Cochran was as good as Elvis. Let's put it that way. Eddie died way too young. Rest in eternal peace.
@@garystackhouse5787 Eddie was a very talented musician given his age , as was Buddy Holly, but as a pop star /pop idol, Elvis was head & shoulders above the rest . That's how it was, and Elvis inspired a great many others ..🎵
What ya gonna do with the old one then ? I thought Elvis was , is and always will be the king of musicality !
He was the real guitar man!
He was fantastic at that!
Eddie was more rockabilly and unfortunately he never had a chance to show his future potential.
would have made a great heavy metal guitarist
Elvis is the best.
You cannot compare Eddie to Elvis. He was a far better musician for starters plus he wrote or arranged a large part of his repertoire.
Vivre vite mourir jeune et laisser une belle image rock n roll
Buddy Holly did try to copy Elvis Presley style but here, I can't see that with Eddie Cochran.
As far as I can see, I don't seem to spot anything Elvis like here. Not even the voice.
It's clear to see that Eddie had his own UNIQUE style.
His walk, his body movements, his style of playing Guitar and even his voice are nothing like any other musician of that or, any other era.
Eddie Cochran was also very Handsome.
Agreed! As far as “next Elvis” that was chosen as title due to Eddie’s label envisioning that for him. As far as comparisons, there wasn’t a ton except young heartthrob around the same time frame that’s exquisite at music.
Yeah but Eddie admitted to copying Elvis even think pink suits on one else wore that until Elvis including the pomp with sideburns and the leg movements (only Elvis and black artists did that) it’s actually pretty easy to tell he kind of copied elvis
Eddie Cochran better than Elvis no offense!+♡ This guy was totally Awesome! & a gentleman!!!***
We also lost the oft forgotten R &B great, Chuck Willis in the spring of 1958 at the age of 30.
Eddie was a great guitarist with many great instrumental tunes as well as a great voice wrote some of his own songs as well
Para cerrar en el 58 Litle Richar se convierte en cristiano siguiendo la fe de nuestro señor ...
Eddie Cochran was good, but as a singer no one can compare to the vocal ability
Elvis Presley had. There is a reason why Elvis Presley is the King!

@@garystackhouse5787 true. I agree.
@@wesleycook7687 the guy above says nobody could compare to the vocal ability Elvis had.....well i say Roy Orbison was/is a vastly better singer than Elvis......Roy also wrote most of his own songs and was a very accomplished guitarist.......if Elvis didn't look the way he did and he didn't have all the girls with raging hormones going crazy over him.....he wouldn't have been nearly as big as he was/is.......Elvis was/is the equivalent of today's boy bands ........
@@garystackhouse5787 just like modern boy bands do...........Elvis was manufactured just like said boy bands.....that whole thing got really bad in the 1960's and Elvis was/is the start of all that garbage......
@@garystackhouse5787 Eddie Cochran surely was no "virtuoso" on guitar. He was on level with Chuck Berry which is okay and he "stole" from other artists,too. Unlike Elvis Eddie changed some of the lyrics to the melodies and claimed he "wrote" his material by himself (but he was not the only one - blues people stole from each other all the time). I realize you do not know anything about Elvis because he played piano and you even can hear his electric bass playing on "Baby I don't care" and that was even in 1957. There is an interview with Scotty Moore where he stated that Elvis, Bill, Black, DJ Fontana & he came to the point that they planned to form an instrumental band (like later the Bill Black Combo) in order to play support for the Elvis gigs. The reason that it did not happen was Colonel Parker. But people can listen to Scotty Moore on youtube and there is no reason for me to repeat the whole story. And again - Eddie was not on the same level on vocals as Elvis, Little Richard, Roy Hamilton & Co. Eddie could his rock & roll and rockabilly and not much more. That's okay and enough for me to like his music. But to be honest - I just visited your channel - and you are much too old for fan talk.
Cochran is an artist whose current stature far eclipses his popularity while he was alive. Liberty Records released a dozen singles during his lifetime but only three made it into the Top 40 (in the USA) and only one of those was Top 10. So, he was far from Presley's level, let alone other Rock 'n Roll stars of the era, like Ricky Nelson, Fats Domino, Everly Brothers, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, etc.
Most of his R'nR icon status can be attributed to his influence on major British rock stars of the 1960s and 1970s, courtesy of his four month tour of the UK in 1960. Granted, this alone justifies his legend as a great artist but his actual popularity wasn't in the same league as Presley.
The question then becomes, could Cochran have become more significantly more popular? That's unlikely. While he had the potential, Cochran's ambitions lay in writing music, session work and producing records. He didn't like the touring and promotional apsects of being a recording artist. Several people close to Eddie have stated that the fateful UK tour was to be his last and that he intended to phase himself out of the spotlight and become more involved behind them. He may not have evolved into the next Elvis Presley, but he may well have become a major rival to Snuff Garrett, who produced a string of hits for Liberty Records in the 1960s.
No singer from the 50s can vocally compare to Elvis. Furthermore, the king evolved musically, encompassing more styles, not just rock&roll. Elvis was getting older and rock was basically music for young people, if you wanted to survive the trends you had to evolve.
If Elvis had of died the same age as Eddie Cochran, he would not of evolved passed Rock n Roll. If Eddie Cochran had of lived as long as Elvis he too would of evolved in his music, because he would of kept up with the times.
Rock and roll came and went so quick, had Eddie lived he would of gone back to playing country music, but I love all the early pioneer of rock and roll.
No one was the next Elvis!
For me Eddie the best ,complet musician
Eddie was on par with elvis all day
LOTS of people were the next Elvis... a manufactured pretty boy with a decent voice and sex appeal but no musical knowledge and no songwriting or playing ability who had the right manager to market him to little girls... Justin Beiber is the latest in a long line of Elvii...
@@andysmyth1211 Not even close... Eddie was head-and-shoulders above Elvis... to say they were "on par" is an insult to Eddie.
@@andysmyth1211 This is supposed to be about Eddie Cochran and his death. What does Elvis good or bad have to do with this?
Wish the two had time to meet...
a seminal influence, my personal favourite is gene vincent but they were all great
Minnesota likes to claim Eddie Cochran, but as a native of Oklahoma City, I want him back--just like I want to reclaim another guitarist, Neal Schon from Journey as one of our own. Just because someone only lived in a certain city during their infancy, doesn't mean they are necessarily from another place they moved to later
Not the same vocal range as Elvis. But, love his work.
way better guitar player
There's millions of great guitars players, but only one Elvis.
No hay otro ELVIS PRESLEY, NUNCA NUNCA!!!!!!
For me Eddie the best
Elvis was only so successful because he got the whole monopoly because so many young talents died young
No man Elvis was successful because he was really talented vocally and a super great shownan and entertainer You don't have to put Elvis down Elvis has made his marks to this world long time ago!!

Nonesense
And what's the reason for sticking his mug in a tribute to Eddie Cochran? Elvis was nothing compared to Eddie Cochran..
Eddie was Eddie never Elvis
Sin encargo partió el 59 pero el año terrible para los rockanroleros de la historia el 1958 Elvis al servicio militar,Chu Berry preso por encuentros con chicas blancas Ricky valenz buddy Holly y el otro colega de la música muerto por accidente aéreo más Jerry llee le por el escándalo amoroso con su prima de 13 años y pares de contar...
Why do all the best die young??
Elvis could sing everything. Eddie Cochran was a singer with a very narrow range. But I like them both.
Eddie also could sing everything
@@stefanijakrivaja6068 Escuse me, that is absolute not true. He could sing his songs and rockabilly. But that was about all. He was a songwriter and guitarist who sang but miles away from being a singer. If he would have been only a singer nobody would remember him today. He was too average (at best). Sinatra and Presley were only singers and are remembered just for that. Can't compare this vocals to Cochran. Eddie being a "good singer who could sing everything" would be fan-talk.
@@2009framat Cochrans ballads were terrible in my opinion. Elvis was worlds better as a singer
@@2009framat Elvis was a pretty boy with a decent voice who got scooped up by businessmen, who encouraged him to shake his junk at little girls who, in turn, bought his records.... he was basically the precursor to Justin Beiber.
@@garystackhouse5787 You are talking about Fabian and Frankie Avalon but not Elvis who surely was an innovator and created something new even if he did not write his own songs. Ever listen to his sun recordings which were recorded before Chuck Berry's, Bo Diddley's and Little Richard's rock & roll recordings for Specialty? I guess not. I doubt you know too much about early rock & roll.
I will say that again .I was a great fan of Eddie cochran I still have an original vinyl album the only one released while he was alive .singing to my baby
.he was not in competition with elvis .but his music was more rock and roll .than elvis .granted elvis made some great records mainly the ones written by otis Blackwell
Not the leiber and stoller crap .also you need to consider that elvis was backed by the excellent Jordonaires..I can listen to all the tracks on Eddie's album but a lot of the tracks on most of elvises albums bore me .
Eddie cochran was not influenced by elvis at all
Eddie Cochran was NEVER gonna be even close to Elvis lmao
He already was. 😊😊😊
@@wesleycook7687 LOL
@@rockyruane9379 LOL
Great musicians, But
“”There is only ONE Elvis.””
This is true!
Naw … he was pretty good … but had his own style …
Elvis, way overated
Oooaf, hot take!
This is about Eddie's death not Elvis Presley. Quit sticking Elvis' mug in a tribute to Eddie Cochran. Elvis was nothing compared to the other singers around at the time.
Understandable but the Elvis comparison was initially made by Eddie’s label themselves. I think they’re drastically different personally but both sensational.
@@SchnazzyVids no further comments..
He was the better man. Wrote many songs, play better guitar.
Elvis wrote no song and was a simple guitar player.
You seem to be missing the fact that Elvis had a hundred times better voice lol
true
Not only did Elvis have a better voice and vocal range but he also sold more records than anyone else also! He was a great singer and Performer.
He didn't need to write any songs, he is the King!
@@BoZeek-zl7cv Exactly. Why write songs when you have the best songwriters coming to you lol
@@rockyruane9379 No he didn't... YOU seem to miss the fact that he got so famous because he shook his junk at audiences of little girls, who swooned and went out and bought his records.
Eddie cochran and elvis
Are not the same,but from
1954 to 1956 elvis was very
Good.but early 1957 elvis
Recording beat come commercial .
When it came back
From the army elvis
Was not the same
Again.
If you look the movies from
The 60& ffrom elvis.
Are nothing.
The only good from elvis
Is king creole. From 1958.
I like very much.
Just.i cant. Say elvis was the king. Because eddie cochran
Was much better.
Ps eddie was a thrue pioniers
Of rockabilly and rock n roll.
Elvis presley turn his back
To rock n roll music.
His is not for me the king of
Rock n roll.
Verona❤
No chance !!!!elvis was the very best. Eddy was good nothing like elvis .keep dreaming
Eddie was on par with elvis
The true part of your statement was "Eddy was good... nothing like elvis" 🤣... Eddie helped INVENT rock guitar and influenced the guitar heroes of the 60's and 70's... he also wrote his own songs. Elvis was a pretty boy with a decent voice but no musical or lyrical talent who got scooped up by businessmen, who helped him first steal talented black artists songs, then assemble a team of ACTUALLY talented people to manufacture his songs. They encouraged him to shake his junk at little girls who, in turn, bought his records.... he was basically the precursor to Justin Beiber.
Elvis Presley was the Kanye West (or maybe Justin Beiber) of his day... criminally over-rated! He was a decent singer (no better than Eddie Cochran, though) but couldn't play an instrument or write a song. Eddie was a virtuoso and a brilliant songwriter. Elvis stole most of his early hits from brilliant black blues players, then had songwriting teams and producers and talented musicians manufacture his hits after that. He was a money-making machine for the record companies who only got famous because he shook his junk at little girls who then went out and bought his records.
