"Just Like Eddie" is a song by recording artist Heinz. The song was his second solo release after leaving the band The Tornados.
Background
The song was a tribute to American rock 'n' roll pioneer Eddie Cochran.[2] The song was produced and engineered by Joe Meek and was released via the record label Decca in 1963.[3] The guitar on the track was played by Ritchie Blackmore,[4] later a founding member of Deep Purple. The song was written by Joe Meek's associate Geoff Goddard.[5] The song was Heinz's only successful song as a solo artist when it entered the Top 20 in the UK Singles Chart.[6] The song peaked at number 5 on that chart.[4] The B-side featured the song, "Don't You Knock On My Door".[7]
Heinz's other singles were "Country Boy" (1963), and "You Were There" (1963).
Reception
In his book, Rock & Roll: Facts, Figures & Fun, Mike Evans said that it was a tribute record that was not opportunistic like others, because it was released three years after Cochran's death.[8]
Inclusions and covers
