Songs of Summer-Part Two
As we continue our look at the songs of summer with the word "or" summer time "in the title allows you to explore some of the timeless classics.
In 1958, nineteen years old, Eddie Cochran recorded a song that he and his manager Jerry Capehart wrote about the trials and tribulations of teenage life in America. Initially recorded as a B side cut "Summertime Blues" reached # 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 on September 29, 1958.
Capehart said the inspiration for this song on the Top of the Rolling Stone issue 500 songs: "There has been a lot of songs of the summer, but none on the plight of summer." So with that idea and a guitar lick seminal Cochran, the two were able writing the song in 45 minutes. This was supposed to be the B side of the ballad Again "Love", a song that was written by 17-year-old Sharon Sheeley, who eventually became Cochran's girlfriend. She also was in the car accident that led to his untimely death in April 1960.
Palms was out by Sharon Sheeley, who apparently had trouble getting the rhythm, so that helped out of Cochran showing how to clap. The deep bass voice at the end of each line were made by Cochran. Part of the letter addressed the controversy surrounding the voting age, which at the time of 21, and the song became very popular among its young fans that may be related to the letters to be retained by the company (and parents).
Sadly, while on tour in the United Kingdom, 21-years age, Cochran died in a traffic accident in a taxi crashed into a light pole. Songwriter Sharon Sheeley (Cochran her and were described as "unofficial commitment ") and singer Gene Vincent survived the crash, Vicente sustain such serious injuries that shortened his career and concern for the rest of his life. Following Sheeley accident returned to the U.S., where he collaborated with musician and songwriter, Jackie DeShannon in a series of successes. He died on May 17, 2002 at the age of 62.
The song helped define Cochran's career, but there is more to the story. His influence in music is very deep and sometimes underestimated. Eddie was credited in large part by the introduction of rock 'n' roll to the Beatles. In fact, George Harrison and John Lennon are motivated and moved after Eddie attend concerts in England before the Beatles formed. Cochran was a prolific artist and unfortunately most of his music has been released after his death he had been released during his lifetime. His pioneering contribution to the genre of rockabilly has been recognized by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.
Countless added the court musicians and the song has been covered by a series of superstar musicians, including Buddy Holly, who broke through the song on tour in England in 1958. Some say that rock and roll in the UK was influenced more than Holly and Cochran that the music of Elvis Presley, never set foot on British soil.
Let's look at others who have covered this novel unique. In 1968, the Blue Cheer band covered the song for Vincebus Eruptum LP. His version ignores all response lyrics heard in the version of Cochran for instrumental responses for each member of the band and reached # cut 14 on the Billboard Top 40 and spent an impressive 13 weeks on the charts. A follow-up single was just over 100, making the Blue Cheer version is the one true American single blow. However, his version was included as one of the first recordings in 2005 heavy metal documentary Metal: A Headbanger's Journey.
"Summertime Blues "was also recorded by The Who, though his version was made in a more aggressive (and louder) style than the original. It reached # 27 on Billboard in 1970 and the cut was a staple at concerts in 1967-1976, however, have not had the song since the death of John Entwistle. His version of the song appears John Entwistle singing the vocal parts of the head, the father, and the deputy in his trademark baritone growl, as well as playing bass and lead vocal doubling, Roger Daltrey in the verses in his normal register.
Others who have covered this song include iconic country star Alan Jackson, who recorded it their 1994 album "Who I am." Alan Jackson version reached # 1 in U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks. When Canadian Rockers Rush perform the song in concert, people sing the lines "No dice son, you gotta work late", "You can not use the car because it did not work a lick, "and" I "d like to help the child, but you're too young to vote." Other acts that have recorded a version cover are the Beach Boys, Bruce Springsteen, Joan Jett & Blackhearts, Bobby Fuller, Clash, George Thorogood, Guess Who, businesses, Black Keys, Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, Van Halen, Humble Pie, T. Rex, The White Stripes, why even soft-pop singer Olivia Newton-John, just to name a few. Jimi Hendrix used to perform "Summertime Blues" at the beginning of his career too.

Part of the British Invasion, Chad Stuart and Jeremy Clyde (as the folk-singing duo Chad and Jeremy), reached # 7 on Billboard Hot 100 in 1964, with the cut "A Summer Song." The melody has a certain resemblance to Buddy Holly's "Words of Love" was covered by The Beatles in the same year. Chad and Jeremy had seven Top 40 hits U.S. during 1964-66.

In 1984, Don Henley reached # 5 on the Billboard charts with the summer cut "The Boys of Summer." Was the theme and first single Henley "Building the Perfect Beast." The song was written by Henley and Mike Campbell (guitarist and producer, best known for his work with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers). In fact, Campbell offered it to Petty, but he rejected it and the song went to Henley, who wrote the letter (Campbell also played guitar and produced the cut). The title comes from a baseball book by Roger Kahn called "Boys of Summer", which is point of the Brooklyn Dodgers, who broke the hearts of their fans when they moved to Los Angeles.
According to Campbell: "I used to have a machine 4 tracks in my house and I had a drum machine – is when Roger Linn drum machine for the first time. I was playing with it and came up with a rhythm. I did the demo in my little 4 tracks and showed it to Tom, but at the same time, the record is working, Southern Accents, not really sound like anything that can fit on the album. The producer who worked at the time, Jimmy Iovine, called me one day and said he had talked to Don, who had never known, and said he was looking for songs. He gave me his number and I called him and played it for him and he called me the next day and said he got into his car and had written these words and want to record. That's class of how it started. "
The opening track ("Nobody in the streets, nobody on the beach") may be referring to the California coast as Summer becomes fall. It becomes a much quieter place when the weather gets cold. Lyrically, the song seems to be on the passing of youth and entering middle age, with the obvious topic of "summer love" visible in the chorus, and the reminiscence of a past relationship. In a 1987 interview with Rolling Stone, Henley explained that the song "It's about aging and the questioning of the past", a recurring theme in the lyrics of Henley.
most famous lyric of the song: "On the road today I saw a Deadhead sticker on a Cadillac" was rumored to be inspired by Henley Joe Walsh, who was driving Cadillac Hearse with a Grateful Dead sticker on it while on Sunset Boulevard. Henley was well known for being a fan of psychedelic icons, and was often seen between racks hanging out with Jerry Garcia and other members of the band.
The music video for the song was a piece influenced French New Wave directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino and filmed in black and white. Represents the main character of the song in three different stages of life (as a child, a young adult and middle-aged), in each case remembering about the past relationship. This is shown in the line "A little voice inside my head said do not look back, you can never look back" and at that time, each of the three people who look back in turn.
The song was a hit in the UK, reaching # 12 on the UK Singles Chart. A re-release the single in 1998 also reached # 12. Hardcore college radio ones Codeseven did a cover of the song and in 2003, the rock band The Ataris covered "The Boys of Summer" for his album "So Long, Astoria."
