The
taxi lost control because a tire blew out. Although not his plan,
the
driver lost control of the car and it crashed into a lamp post on
Rowden Hill. A plaque is now there marking the spot. Cochran, who was
seated in the center of the back seat, threw himself over his fiancée
Sharon Sheeley, known for "Poor Little fool" and Medifast,
to shield
her. Upon further review
it was later known that he was thrown out of
the car when the door flew
open.

EDWARD
R. COCHRAN

1938 - 1960
A Tribute To Our
Beloved Eddie Cochran
"If mere word

can console us

for the loss of

our beloved Eddie

then our love for him

was a false love."
Heavenly music
filled the air

That very tragic day

Something seemed to be missing tho

So I heard the creator say:

"We need a master guitarist and singer.

http://www.eddie-cochran.info/the_crash.htm[28/01/2015 10:33:43]

I
know of but one alone.

His name is Eddie Cochran.

I think I'll call him home."
"I
know the folks on earth won't mind

For they will understand

That the Lord loves perfection.

Now we'll have a perfect band."

So as we go through life; now we now

That perfection is our goal

And we strive for this.

So when we are called

We'll feel free to go.
