17 April 2010
Today it is
50 years ago that the great Eddie Cochran was killed in a car
accident outside Chippenham, Wiltshire in the United Kingdom. His
girlfriend Sharon Sheeley and his friend, fellow rocker Gene
Vincent, survived the crash. Eddie Cochran’s legend lives on 50
years after that fateful day and will live on for many years to
come. We can safely assume that Eddie Cochran’s talent will always
be recognized by new generations and that he will never be
forgotten.
Eddie Cochran Anniversary Special
Ahead of Radio 2’s Sixties Season at the end of
May, the second hour of Sounds of the Sixties on Saturday 17 April
2010 marks the exact 50th anniversary of the death of Eddie Cochran.
On this special programme we look at the
tour itself. It was the very first authentic rock tour in the UK and
one which changed the sound of British music and the style of stage
presentation. Promoted by Larry Parnes it brought together Eddie and
Gene and had a profound and lasting influence on young British
musicians and audiences alike
Click on the link to go to the show. It will be available for one
week (after opening the BBC iPlayer forward to 59 minutes in the
show):
