This was the song that brought John Lennon and Paul McCartney together at the Woolton fete in suburban Liverpool. Paul knew the words to Twenty Flight Rock and this greatly impressed John (and me too!)

Why is Eddie not more well know? He only lived to 21. Do I Wikipedia (sorry) on him and you will see an amazing array of musicians who covered him - incredible! Thus, though many of the public has forgotten him, the rock greats never did!

Nice to see Eddie's famous guitar in color.

This song has a lot of meaning to me because my friend lived in building that had twenty flights of stairs and seemed the elevator was broken down regularly in 1960's. This was Larry's favourite song. We're still fans of Eddie today!

Elvis didn't need to write his songs. His genius was the way he wrapped his glorious voice around a song. Eddie was good but Elvis was great. Eddie didn't have even close to the vocal diversity that Elvis had. But there's room for everyone in rock and roll!!!

So young, everyone could see this kid had talent. When this kid grew up he really shined.

I could jump to this all day long . It kicks my sides in !

Eddie, ta musique traverse les époques ,les genres et le temps, et restera toujours gravé dans mon coeur

One of my all time favourite films !

Elvis & Eddie = Best Rock and Roll Ever !!!!!!!!

July 6, 1957, St. Peter's Church, Woolton, Liverpool - Paul McCartney plays this song for John Lennon, leader of the skiffle group The Quarrymen - the song that got Paul into the Beatles....played by one of Eddie Cochrane's most famous fan, to another !!!

Eddy was a musical genius..His technology was ahead of his time,if it was not for the quality of Eddie well the rest is History..

this was one of the BETTER rock movies we old cats had to sit thro' to get to the rock songs."THE GIRL CANT HELP IT"

No one rocks like Eddie. He's the tops.

The best ever Rocker!!!! Fantastic talent.

this is my favorite part of the movie.

Never To Be Forgotten. Cochran Rocks!

Classic Rockabilly !

Eddie vs. Elvis... why? They were both greats for different reasons. They took the look and sound of the day, everyone was inspired by each other but they worked their own style and talents into it to create the sound that influenced millions through the decades. C'mon everybody, Just enjoy the music!

I never knew that there are any color films of Eddie. You're the man, thanks. I have nothing else to say but: "Whenever I'm sad, whenever I'm blue Whenever my troubles are heavy Beneath the stars I play my guitar Just like Eddie. Now, troubles may come and troubles may go But you'll always find me ready Upon the hill, playing still Just like Eddie"

This was the song that Paul played to John when they first met at a garden fête where John was performing with his band (The Quarrymen). And the legend begins...

This is probably one of the best songs i've ever heard, playing this with my band, really a wonderful song :) R.I.P Eddie

cool man never fails to get my legs a shakin when i see hear + see this !!

Eddie Cochran was a total badass.

This is a very god videoclip for the time. Nice to appear amoung those Fifties Stars. Thanx for Sharing. Me as a singer in a nostalgic band I'm very grateful to you. Marco Antonio

GREAT FILM! THANK YOU!

50 years today since Eddie Cochran died, 17th April 1960, R.I.P.

Real music my friends!!! Mr cochran is a god!

Great, insightful comeback!

I havent heard this track since I was a kid - yeah OK so I aint a kid no more but this was one of my favourite songs by Eddie - we didnt call them tracks in them days.Only discovered KZfaq by accident but glad I did.I never had this track,my school friend Peter had it on an EP,if you work out what EP menas you start worrking out my age

My brother Delvis brought me here .great song .thanks for sharing

Rock & Roll is fun with Eddie doing his thing!

Led Zeppelin Bruce Springsteen CCR Aerosmith BB King But these guys you mentionned began it all. So the greatest respect for them al. Especialy Elvis. Great musician. I'm a big fan of his.

wow music that never come´s back...

Eddie Cochran IS THE MAN!

Amazing song. Love Eddie Cochran.

55 years ago come this April. R.I.P

Thank's for The girl can't help it - Great movie, remember me when i was young... "fromage" from France to all those fellows !!!

This is really great!!!

this movie is very very cool. Me and my folks watched it together. My parents remember those days and had got a real kick out of seeing The Platters, Fats, and Eddie Cochran. Of course I loved it cos I'm a complete throwback

Thank you very much.

if this song was not exist Paul would never played with John...this thought scares me. Nice song!

Well this one has gone into me favourites.

THE BEST IN GUITAR I LOVE HIM

I saw an Everly Brothers interview some time ago and they said that nobody stood a chance with any women in the room when Eddie Cochran was around. Elvis Presley was a great admirer. RIP Eddie Cochran, a brilliant musician taken so suddenly from us Thanks for posting. Arf

The best performance Ever...

Classic song, my dad had a load of old 45's when I was a kid-this and 'something else' were my favourites!

rockabilly at its best,,,,eddie could rock!!!

@Jackson5Videos ...you´re so right man...this is one of the great rock´n roll stories...

Found this little piece of trivia a while ago, though you guys might like it. But it dont take away the fact that this is one of the best Rock & Roll songs ever. Written by a gal as well....well fancy that. "Although the title of the song implies that the singer must climb 20 flights of stairs, in actuality he would only need to climb eighteen or nineteen flights (depending on whether or not the building has a 13th floor) to reach the stated 20th floor."

Great 50's list.

Eddie Cochran cut a dub (acetate) of "Twenty Flght Rock" and took it out to 20th Century Fox and they put him in "The Girl Can´t Help It". Right after that, Eddie signed up with Liberty Records. Eddie Cochran immortalized it when he gave it an electric perfomance in "The Girl Can´t Help It".

Eddie was a MEGA Talented guy who could play numerous instruments...Good looking too~wink~

he was so cool,great ones always die too soon.

Love it....Takes me back to the good old days! :)

man, a fuckin great song, that was music you can dance to ;) way better then every modern music i think

love this movie...

god bless the king Eddie cochran!

Eddie Cochran is the king of rock'n roll. Not Elvis, not anybody else..

this song got paul in the beatles

America's Finest!

Actually, a single had 2 songs on it - one on each side - whereas the EP had 4 songs on them - 2 on each side. That´s why it was called EXTENDED play. That meant that they could also put classical and jazz songs out on small records (and not just LP:s). Usually one song on each side. (believe me, I was young in those days, yipee!)

great movie :]

my favourite rock movie

It's from the movie "The Girl Can't Help It". The pink coat was bright red in the movie. (Some color movie film fades in time).

I cant imagine that he is such a legend although he died with only 21 years ...

Albert Lea, MN still remembers Eddie!

To royalefreshness: Thank you for the correction. You're right. I saw this movie in Toronto when I was 14 years old.

I love fast action and up lifting lyrics in this song, so my mind dances in delight.

You've got a brand new sound, Eddie

from another world? so awesome

Eddie looks good with anything! haha =P

Happy Birthday Eddie....Woohoo!

Still missing you, Eddie. Sadly semi-ignored in the US aside from "Summertime Blues"--great track, but he did more!

Damn Eddie could tear it up!!!

love it

Paul mcartney played that song to John Lennon on the first day they met.The rest is history

That's true, and I get annoyed as hell with all the idiots who say Elvis ripped off of Eddie. No offense to Eddie, but he was the one who ripped off of Elvis' style, at least in his earliest recordings, but who wasn't doing that? He's still one of the greatest rockers.

Have a thumbs up from me :-)

love it!!! now just get Jimmy to do a version!!!

I love him, hes the best rocknroller

If they play this I'll walking 30 flights easily, still able to rock...

Eddie best rocker ever lived, Rock in Peace

HE HAS A NEW SOUND!

The Shining ... !!!

Rockabilly is rock'n'roll too.

Rockabilly at it's best!

That's the song George Harrison played on the top of the bus one night in Liverpool when Paul brought him to audition for John. George passed the audition.

The girl can't help it.Its actually pretty good-but the music and stars in it are worth the money alone!

King of Rockabilly ....

My favorite SONG!!!♪ ♥ Eddie! Peace

Its a nice song

Eddie Cochran , creator , Mr ROCK"N"ROLL (with his brother" Gene Vincent )

you are right. I stand corrected. Thanks.

Classic!

i like the fact that the maid goes off and no one bats an eye.lol

your profile picture fits perfectly with the ending of that comment.

and, Glam, I wrote ...and the rest. That includes many artists like T-bone Walker, Roy Brown, Howlin' Wolf, Hank Williams, etc, etc. And into really important persons/influences NEVER forget Segovia, the spanish guitarist that is the founding father of modern guitar. He, for example used to play Bach on gtr and was a big influence for Eddie C and a host of others

thats the great juanita moore (imitation of life) gettin down to our boy

Story goes that when Paul brought this little kid named George to audition got the Beatles..He wowed Lennon with 20 flight rock...Eddie Cocrane ..Oh what might have been
