Eddie Cochran's part should of been bigger

Eddie Cochran wrote a song called "Three Stars". It´s about a plane crash in which 3 Rock ´n Roll Stars were killed: Valens, Holly, Big Bopper. So who died first: Valens or Cochran?:-)

I too loved Eddie Cochran. He died here in England in 1960. If you remember he wrote and sang the tribute "Three Stars"

eddie cochran died from injuries sustained in an automobile accident on sunday april 17th at 4:10 pm in the afternoon.
the accident accured sometime between 11:15 pm late saturday evening and early sunday morning about 12:oo am,around 12:15 am sunday the ambulences arrived and took eddie,gene vincent and eddie's fiance songwriter sharon sheeley to the hospital st. martins in nearby bath.
gene vincent had suffered a few abrasions and a broken collar bone,miss sheeley suffered leg and head injuries as well as serious damage to her neck,back and pelvis,yet eddie had hit his head at such an angle on the roof of the taxi as to suffer brain heamorrhaging,which caused fluid and bruising on the brain.
there was also bruising of his larynx,thyroid and both lungs had filled with fluid.......at the hospital he was giving artificial resperation,but his condition deteriorated rapidly over the next sevral hours and despite the best efforts of dr. donald pilton and the st. martins medical team,eddie cochran died on sunday april 17th at 4:10 pm in the afternoon.
it was said by both gene vincent as well as there road manager pat thompkins,that on impact eddie had thrown himself in front of sharon as if to protect her during the crash,but as he was leaned forward in the backseat at the point of impact,the force caused eddie to lurch head first into the roof of the taxi next to the rear door,causing it to burst open sending eddie sprawling from the cab onto the gravel road.
the driver george martin and pat thomkins walked away from the wreckage with seamingly only dazed injuries.
eddie was only 21 years old,he would'nt be 22 until the following october 3rd,essentially just a kid,yet he left behind a vast selection of recorded material as well as a solid reputation as a prolific songwriter,amazing vocalist and a astounding musician........his guitar playing on his gretsch 6120 chet atkins hollow body special influenced a number of future rockers such as john lennon,pete townsand,john fogerty,jimi hendrix and brian setzer,to name but a few.
eddie cochran will always be a god among mortal men,both musically as well as spiitually,like james dean who he idolized after a fashion,he was a true rebel.

"FIRST WE HOP,YEAH YEAH YEAH THEN WE BOP,YEAH YEAH YEAH THEN WE STOP,FOR ROCK AND ROLL.YEAH WE DO THE STROLL". - EDDIE COCHRAN,1958.

Yeah, they could have named the movie, "La Bamba With A Huge Tribute to Eddie Cochran Who Could Really Play."

Perhaps. But the movie is about Ritchie Valens. When they make The Eddie Cochran Story, perhaps Ritchie Valens' part will be small. But Eddie Cochran writing his song, "Three Stars" would be a powerful scene sequence.

Were Ritchie Valens and Eddie Cochran close friends?
