Eddie Cochran: Summertime blues

The basic proof that rock music is art, is that rock musicians too get full credit of their work only after they die. And if they die young, like Buddy Holly or Eddie Cochran the tragedy only brings them more fame (although it really doesn't help afterwards, does it? :-). I intentionally didn't write more names of musicians who died later (because of drug overdose / their own vomit,...), just because in my opinion these two are pioneers of this music, and their death really set example of how things would go after them.
