Eddie Cochran was one of the early rockers, with a rebellious image that was later perfected by Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan. Wayne Cochran was called the White Knight of Soul, and was well known for his friendship with fellow Georgians James Brown and Otis Redding (he played bass on Redding's early recordings). Hank Cochran was less famous than the other two, but was extremely influential in country music, writing hits for Patsy Cline, Eddy Arnold and others. Anita Cochran recorded "Fight Like a Girl" (at the bottom of the post, before the bonus) following her breast cancer diagnosis.
Looks like Willie Nelson on guitar, but I'm not sure.
"Twenty Flight Rock" was the song Paul McCartney played for John Lennon when he auditioned for the Quarrymen.
