I was serving on the P & O liner RMS Strathmore in the med when I saw a teenage passenger crying.
When I asked her what was up, she said "Haven't you heard ? Eddie Cochran has been killed in a car crash !"
What a tragic loss.
And could so easily heve been Gene Vincent as well !

Great story, Colin. Thank you.
It was a cruel loss for rock and roll, that's for sure. Like Buddy Holly, Eddie would have grown to be a very interesting artist, not just an oldies icon.
Of course, one must not wish bad things to anybody, but I have to admit that sometimes I have regretted it was not Gene who had been killed instead in that accident. Although only 25 years old, he was well past his better years, and his work until he died was mostly mediocre stuff. Also, I don't think he was a very happy man.
But we can't change history, and I wouldn't change this even if I could. It's just... things that come to the mind...

In 1970 Gene recorded two great albums for the Kama Sutra label: The day the world turned blue & Gene Vincent.
Unfortunately he died in 1971 so his comeback was short lived.
