Eddie Cochran - Saga All Stars: C'mon Everybody / Selected Singles 1956-1958 (1988)

Saga All Stars lets you rediscover, in the best possible conditions, the immense figures who were, among others, the queen of soul Aretha Franklin, the youthful but already groove-dynamic James Brown, rock’n’roll pioneers Elvis Presley and Gene Vincent, the fantastic crooner Nat King Cole, the irresistible Marilyn Monroe and the spellbinding Nina Simone.

Eddie Cochran was one of the first great stars of rock & roll and an artist whose influence would far outstrip his brief career, which was cut short when he died in an auto accident in 1960. Cochran would often be cited as one of the pioneers of rockabilly, but his style was more muscular and less twangy than those of his peers, adding a bluesy accent to the music that meshed comfortably with his country-influenced melodies. Cochran was also an impressive guitar player and a songwriter young enough to understand the teenage mindset and its fascination with cars, girls, and good times, but he was also talented enough to bring his stories to life and marry them to energetic, catchy melodies.
