"Eddie Cochran is one of the most underrated and influential rockers of the 50s. He wrote his own songs, played a pretty mean guitar and was a pioneer of rock." "He was one of the few rockers of the 50s who wrote, and had control over, his music. He was the real deal, the personification of rock & roll."
"His brilliant guitar innovations created rock from country."
"One of those who introduced the technique of overdubbing themselves, playing several instruments, singing lead and harmony."
“In his tantalizingly brief career, he contributed a number of classics to the rock repertoire."
“It is clear that even though his career was cut brutally short, Eddie Cochran made contributions that influence rock and roll decades after his untimely demise."
“What a terrible loss of a really talented guy way too soon. His influence can be heard on everything from The Beatles to The Stones."
“I love Eddie's songs because they captured my teenage years. Eddie put his heart and soul into rock & roll."
