Eddie Cochran - Twenty Flight Rock 

That's right Paul. John knew the song, Paul knew the lyrics. A marriage made in heaven. Talk about heavenly.....Jayne Mansfield's isn't half a strapping lass.

@@theplayer2286 haha. Yeah, she's pretty hot. Her daughter Mariska? Not as hot.

Guess he wasn't ready to start copying Carl Perkins yet?

No...That was George.

@@1512592011 Uh huh.

Born 1938, so 18 👍.

MTF look 30

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Rap is shit bro

Bearlogg white people killed rock

Danny anime buddy holly was white though so did he kill rock?

@@dannyanime3468 you're an idiot

@@jamalfromcollege2854 no, sad to say, he's right. A lot of the 50's rock was covers of black rhythm and blues artists who never got their due credit. On the other hand, mixing the white hillbilly sound of the guys covering the blues added a different element into the music, giving it a different sound

Vc comentou !!! Nesse exato dia 06de julho !!! You commented !!! On this exact day of July 6th !!!

July 6, 1957 - One of the most important dates in rock history

Paul tells the story on The Ronnie Wood Show Special right at the beginning, got him into The Beatles

Because he was the only one who knew the words!

@@Chloe-ng6cq AND could play it correctly. I think he was doing that “play upside down on a right handed guitar” thing he did. Right then, John asked,”You want to be in the group?” God was there that day, that’s all there is to it.

She was the best part of this video besides Eddie.

Jayne Mansfield was pretty good too!

👏👍😉

She wrecks the song. More Eddie, less housekeeper. Maybe if she actually knew how to dance it would have been sort of tolerable.

@@ricenglish4556 he's likely mouthing the song to a recording, I disagree she's good

"Would you like to see my Chihuahuas ?" Jayne said when she made a personal appearance at a working Men's Club in the North of England !

Oh did Jane have a sweater on?

Probably (I was not there unfortunately !)but she really did have the little dogs when she appeared at the Batley Variety club in Yorkshire , England But this gag was probably a standard part of her nightclub act !

me too

That was the first thing Dick Jaws noticed as well.

Rockabilly rules!

Amen, and imagine he was only 21, raw talent, rest in peace Eddie

April 17, 1960, the day the music died.

Que loco yo nací el 4 de octubre

Murdered 100%

Jim Johnston Tell me more!!!!

What was it like?

@paris snow When Eddie played Twenty Flight rock song and everyone stop dancing to watch Eddie play. He put on a great show!

Lucky bastard

Strange question but how old were u then.

Live fast died young

Yeah, but he died a hero :) RIP Eddie Cochran

And Jayne Mansfield, who played the blonde.

*R I T C H I E V A L E N S*

And Sid Vicious.

C était un bon!!!!

Chuck Berry too, no?

Rip

@@benjaminmonroy8622 Chuck Berry lived 95 years.

And richie

Jennifersman. Eddie was a huge influence on Hendrix, The Who, The Beatles and many others. He left way too early aged only 21. Gene Vincent never got over his death.

Apparently Rockers have one of the lowest expectance of life.

Go tell that to Little Richard, Jerry Lee, Roger Daltrey, Pete townshend, Ringo, Paul, Ozzy fucking Osbourne,Keith 'highlander' Richards, Mick Jagger, Roger Waters etc. Some rockers can live for way too long too

And he wasn't huge in the States...he had way more hits in the UK.

jennifersman as everybody over 10 knows

Way too many rock n rollers died too young

...Il aurait pris le trône, elvis presley l'aurais convoité lui aussi, et ils se seraient livrés une bataille qui aurait durée pendant plus de 20 ans... Mais personnellement je pense que Cochran aurait fini par prendre le dessus et serait devenu "LA" légende... mais ce n'est que mon avis. Amitiés à vous. ♤ R'N'R never die ♤

I wouldn't say rock and roll would be totally different. Gene Vincent lived a decade after the crash that killed Cochran, but his influence never extended beyond his late 50s/early 60s heyday. Even Chuck Berry didn't have much of an impact on popular music after the early 60s and he died just 3 years ago. In fact, I can't think of any early pioneers of rock who went on to be highly influential for many years after. Elvis came closest having lots of hits, but did Burning Love and Suspicion Minds really change the course of music in any significant way? I'd say no. Don't get me wrong. Maybe Cochran's career would have been different. We'll never know. But judging by his contemporaries, I'd consider it unlikely.

JoM0BX yeah. Same with Buddy Holly.

Overlooked by whoom,you?😂

What???😅😅

Chuck, Little Richard, Bo, Jerry Lee?

Course u did

@@jamescunningham9854 lol

I'm two years late on this thread, but I'd love to hear about you seeing Eddie. I sure wish I could have.

@@hamiltonburger4574 Yes, I was 16 then living in London where I did in fact until 2016. I saw Eddie at the Finsbury Park Empire also on the bill was Gene Vincent. Eddie started the performance with his back to the audience. I also saw within a couple of years the Beetles and Cilla Black at the same venue. Many years later I attended twice concerts in London featuring Little Richard, Chuck Berry and the recently dearly missed Jerry Lee Lewis. Truly Great Memories.

@@stephenvincent4989 Did he have the leather pants? He really turned his playing up when he came to London. his cover of sweet little sixteen is a good example. too bad they didn´t film and record more of his gigs there. i think he really inspired many of the stars that came up in the 60´s that saw his shows and his playing. jimi hendrix really liked him to.

I once read somewhere that Elvis considered Eddie Cochran to be his most direct contender to the throne, which Eddie himself found both amusing and accurate. Then came April 17.

don't forget the Beatles, Paul played this to John when they first met before being asked to join his band

He was great in his own right, but he copied everything he saw Elvis do.

@@junglebull2635and don’t forget Brian Setzer and Chris Cheney!

Besides Summertime Blues which is a classic Rocker covered by the Who even, he influenced Punk! The Sex Pistols copied his guitar riffs and you can hear it clearly in several Pistols songs. At least I do. The guitar riff right before Rotten starts singing in the beginning of God Save the Queen. For example is Cochran’s. De do dada, de do dada, de do dada I am an Anti you know the rest. As a guitar player, I noticed this. The repeating Riff is Cochran’s. Go Figure! And Sid Viscous even covered Cmon Everybody and Something Else! And Led Zep did too, live. Cochran was more popular in Britain than America as he toured there last. He sadly died in a car crash with Gene Vincent and his girlfriend in the car with him. Vincent was injured and survived but Cochran hit his head fatally. It’s a genuine shame because he was so talented and like Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens was headed for bigger things! They all were! But now we will never know what might have been.

Pure gold

Juanita Moore steals this scene!

Sorry, Pierre, but the best part of the video is Jayne running around. Needs to be a loop. :)

Pierre M Agreed!

Juanita's kinda hot !!

Totally!

He looked 40

@@luiskern8910 no he didn't

he looked a bit like adriano celentano. Must've been a real influence on celentano

Thats one of the reasons he was picked for this movie he had it all

He also had an aptitude for playing the guitar and could figure virtually any style and play it! Britons say he intellectually taught them how to play rock and roll swing and not the big band swing most were still mired in.

Jeff beck hahaha thanks for the laugh

@@zebunker Not a joke

Brian SETZER, Homer !

@@ITILII the Stray Cats revitalized rockabilly in the 80's and their main inspirations(though not limited to) were Eddie Cochran & Gene Vincent. Saw 'em live twice(Stray Cats) and they absolutely Killed It!

Hello Kay, How are you doing?

He was 18 Born 1938

@@Swedish_rock_king Thank you !

17 o18 non importa talento e vita spezzata cosi

How was it possible to look so old at that age? Nowadays 18 year olds look 18.

@@bimbobaggypants4820 people used to eat like shit, smoke and drink. that's all there is to it.

Buddy and him were the too pushing the limits of rock and roll in the 50s.

He played it on guitar and sang it not just reciting lyrics he had the talent to perform it too at only 16.

It'" wonderful🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸💪💪💪💪😆😆😆😆🥰

Not in common, Eddie just copied him on everything =P. Smart move.

@@GabrielNicho not true, Eddie wrote all his own music, he experimented with different guitar sounds, he also left his comfort zone and travelled the world playing his music which is why he is so influential in England, Elvis was a great entertainer with a powerful voice but his musical abilities and songwriting ability is far behind Eddie Cochran

@@ggmm6182 I meant mostly on style, Eddie Cochran himself said he just copied Elvis, also with his singing style. I agree Eddie invented a lot when he created classic rock. I always wish he hadn't died so we could have heard what he would come up with.

Eddie didn't write this song ​@@ggmm6182

Thort he wasnt that much of a star in America, more of a star in England?

How so? What constitutes God's work? Do you even know God?

What's the name of the movie?

​@@aidanlucid9619girl can't help it

The man who started America, England and the WORLD rockin' was of course, The KING....Elvis !!!

Yep probably true . But Eddie came to The UK with Gene Vincent and even Elvis said This guy makes me nervous ☺ say no more . Ed did more than sing hit songs . He wrote them . Played on them and even sessioned for other Artist . So he was the man

Billy fury loved him

Filmed in mid 1956. Eddie wouldn't be quite 18 yet.

He has a really mature and masculine voice...makes me remember of a young rick Astley (obviously in terms of voice tone)

💙💙💙💙🥰

Sittin' in The Balcony is the one my sister had at the house when I was a little kid. That's how I first had known of him. Then heard the other 2 on the radio.

Real rock n roll comes from blaks. Like everything else, all others are trying to imitate blaks.

​Rolling Stones knew that too. It's all American music. Black music, from original call and answer style vocal music slaves depended on to forget the woe and pain and indecency of slavery.

@@nomorebushz no its not, but you saw it in some video. These videos always lie. Becore they say the music came from Africa, then we would point out that there is none in Africa, so they te another lie. If it was like that, then any other oppressed people would have come up with it

joey ramirez actually Paul was the one who brought George in to the group

Nothing! No question about it

Si como cuando paul mcarney conocio a jhonn lennon

Everybody looks uncomfortable, lol.

The one Paul was playing the first time he met John. The movie says Eddie is back again, but there is no previous appearance by Eddie int he film.

Back then bras were strong as armor. No danger to the sweater. I don’t know how her shoulders didn’t hurt all the time. And had five children!

Not really.

I was making comparisons too watching this. There were a lot of similarities. I think Elvis had a more soulful voice and he was a better dancer. But Eddie wrote, played good electric guitar, and Elvis didn't.

Je ne pense pas ,Elvis à la voix ,la beauté et le feeling c’est ce cocktail explosif qui a fait ce qu’il est devenu Inégalé jusque aujourd’hui

I doubt that, the young Elvis with the shinny black hair was on a different level to Eddie, Buddy & Gene Vincent & all the other greats of the fifties.
