  • Twenty Flight Rock est une chanson d'Eddie Cochran. Elle voit le jour en 1956 dans le film La Blonde et moi (The Girl Can't Help It) : Cochran l'interprète dans une scène. Cette version est enregistrée en juillet 1956 aux studios Gold Star avec Connie Smith et Jerry Capehart. L'année suivante, Cochran ré-enregistre la chanson avec Connie Smith, Perry Botkin et le Johnny Mann Chorus. Cette deuxième version sort en single en 1957 et ne rencontre pas un succès foudroyant, bien que le single connaisse des ventes régulières sur une longue période. Le célèbre bassiste des Beatles, Paul McCartney, tout juste âgé de 15 ans, choisit Twenty Flight Rock comme première chanson lors de son audition par John Lennon, lui-même âgé de 16 ans. L’audition se déroula au St. Peter's Church Hall à Liverpool, avant une fête dans le jardin de l'église. Une scène du film Nowhere Boy de Sam Taylor-Wood sorti en 2009 relate ce moment historique. John Lennon fut très impressionné par la capacité de Paul McCartney à interpréter cette chanson et l’invita à rejoindre, les Quarrymen, son groupe qui allait devenir les Beatles quelques années plus tard. Lors de la réalisation de The Beatles Anthology, Paul McCartney confia que selon lui, ce qui avait le plus impressionné Lennon avait été qu’il connaissait parfaitement le texte. (fr)
  • Twenty Flight Rock è un singolo pubblicato nel 1957 e portato al successo da Eddie Cochran, con Cradle Baby sul lato B del 45 giri. Composto da Eddie Cochran e Nelda "Ned" Fairchild, benché messo in commercio nel 1957, il pezzo era già stato inserito l'anno precedente in The Girl Can't Help It, film nel quale si esibiscono diversi musicisti dell'epoca. Il produttore, Boris Petroff, aveva ascoltato la composizione e aveva chiesto a Cochran di prendere parte al film nel quale il cantante avrebbe dovuto eseguire il brano. Musicalmente contraddistinto da un ostinato come tanti brani di rock and roll, Twenty Flight Rock è ricordato soprattutto per essere stato uno dei brani che Paul McCartney suonò il 6 luglio 1957 nella sala della St Peter’s Church destando la sorpresa di John Lennon che ammirato decise di accoglierlo nel suo gruppo The Quarry Men. In seguito il pezzo venne incluso nel repertorio live dei Beatles. Twenty Flight Rock è stato reinterpretato da molti artisti: fra di essi Cliff Richard, i Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, i Tiger Army, i Montrose e Jeff Beck. (it)
