Cochran's rockabilly songs, such as "Twenty Flight Rock", "Summertime Blues", "C'mon Everybody", and "Somethin' Else", captured teenage frustration and desire in the mid-1950s and early 1960s . He experimented with multitrack recording, distortion techniques, and overdubbing even on his earliest singles . He played the guitar, piano, bass, and drums . His image as a sharply dressed and good - looking young man with a rebellious attitude epitomized the stance of the 1950s rocker, and in death he achieved an iconic status . </P> <P> Cochran was involved with music from an early age, playing in the school band and teaching himself to play blues guitar . In 1954, he formed a duet with the guitarist Hank Cochran (no relation), and when they split the following year, Eddie began a songwriting career with Jerry Capehart . His first success came when he performed the song "Twenty Flight Rock" in the film The Girl Can't Help It, starring Jayne Mansfield . Soon afterwards, he signed a recording contract with Liberty Records . </P>
