Never To Be Forgotten, 1960
Written by Eddie Cochran
This album was released posthumously; Cochran died in a car wreck at the age of 21. This is a rockabilly number that musically sounds a lot like "Summertime Blues" to me. It concerns a young fellow who's stuttering and shivering and quivering. He sees the doctor, and is diagnosed with Too Much Being Rowdy and Staying Out Late. So he decides to take the cure. "No more girls for a week or two / No more runnin' 'round with the usual crew." I like the way he draws out "a, a, neeerrrvouss breaakkdown." The Who were fans of Eddie.
