wot a dymanic guy, wot a great talent !
he wrote the songs....
Summertime Blues
Come On Everybody
Three Steps to Heaven
all of them classic early rock songs.
On his tour of the UK early in 1960 ( with Gene Vincent )
he inspired many young pop musicians.
 He was an innovative musician and taught the young Joe Brown a whole new style of playing the guitar .
Eddie was a bit of a rock sensation in those early, pre Beatle days.
Tragically it all ended on Saturday night 16th of April 1960
when the taxi he was travelling in hit a lampost near Bath in Somerset, Eddie died later in hospital.
He had achieved so much in writing and performing pop music
yet the guy was still only 21 years old !
Like Buddy Holly he was a pop genius who died young.
Eddie ... born in Minnesota, was a massive talent..... who knows how his song writing talent would have developed during the poptastic 60s ?
