Description
THIS IS A RARE COPY OF EDDIE COCHRAN'S GREAT ROCKABILLY CLASSIC FROM THE FILM "THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT" ON A UK LONDON 78
"20 FLIGHT ROCK" backed with "DARK LONELY STREET"
Eddie Cochran - Twenty Flight Rock
The song triggered a significant moment in music history when the barely 15-year-old Paul McCartney used "Twenty Flight Rock" as his first song when he auditioned for John Lennon on July 6, 1957 in Liverpool, England. The 16-year-old Lennon was impressed by the young McCartney's ability to play the song on the guitar during their first official introductions at St. Peter's Church Hall prior to a church garden fete. The good first impression of McCartney's performance led to an invitation to join The Quarrymen - John Lennon's band that would eventually evolved into The Beatles. On The Beatles Anthology, McCartney noted that: "I think what impressed him most was that I knew all the words."
Cochran performing "Twenty Flight Rock" appeared in the film The Girl Can't Help It, as a tongue-in-cheek example of the supposed lack of talent required to perform rock and roll.
