Ray Edward Cochran was a mid-20th century American rock and roll musician. Cochran's songs, such as "Twenty Flight Rock", "Summertime Blues", "C'mon Everybody" and "Somethin' Else", captured teenage frustration and desire in the mid-1950s and early 1960s, he experimented with multitrack recording, distortion techniques, overdubbing on his earliest singles. He played the guitar, piano and drums, his image as a dressed and attractive young man with a rebellious attitude epitomized the stance of the 1950s rocker, in death he achieved iconic status. Cochran was involved with music from an early age, playing in the school band and teaching himself to play blues guitar. In 1954, he formed a duet with the guitarist Hank Cochran, when they split the following year, Eddie began a songwriting career with Jerry Capehart, his first success came when he performed the song "Twenty Flight Rock" in the film The Girl Can't Help It, starring Jayne Mansfield. Soon afterwards, he signed a recording contract with Liberty Records.

Cochran died at age 21 after a road accident, while travelling in a taxi in Chippenham, during his British tour in April 1960, having just performed at Bristol's Hippodrome theatre. Though his best-known songs were released during his lifetime, more of his songs were released posthumously. In 1987, Cochran was inducted into the Roll Hall of Fame, his songs have been recorded by a wide variety of recording artists. Cochran was born October 1938, in Albert Lea, Minnesota, to Alice and Frank R. Cochran, his parents were from Oklahoma, he always said in interviews that his parents had some roots in Oklahoma. He quit the band to play drums. Rather than taking piano lessons, he began learning guitar, playing country and other music he heard on the radio. Cochran's family moved to Bell Gardens, California, in 1952; as his guitar playing improved, he formed a band with two friends from his junior high school. He dropped out of Bell Gardens High School in his first year to become a professional musician.

During a show featuring many performers at an American Legion hall, he met Hank Cochran, a songwriter. Although they were not related, they began performing together, they recorded a few singles for Ekko Records that were successful and helped to establish them as a performing act. Eddie Cochran worked as a session musician and began writing songs, making a demo with Jerry Capehart, his future manager. In July 1956, Eddie Cochran's first "solo artist" single was released by Crest Records, it featured "Skinny Jim", now regarded as a rockabilly classic. In the spring of 1956, Boris Petroff asked Cochran if he would appear in the musical comedy film The Girl Can't Help It. Cochran performed the song "Twenty Flight Rock" in the movie. In 1957 Cochran starred in his second film, Untamed Youth, he had yet another hit, "Sittin' in the Balcony", one of the few songs he recorded, written by other songwriters. "Twenty Flight Rock" was written by AMI staff writer Ned Fairchild. Fairchild, not a rock and roll performer provided the initial form of the song.

In the Summer of 1957 Liberty Records issued Cochran's only studio album released during his lifetime, Singin' to My Baby. The album included "Sittin' in the Balcony". There were only a few rockers on this album, Liberty seemed to want to move Cochran away from Rock and Roll. In 1958, Cochran seemed to find his stride in the famous teenage anthem "Summertime Blues". With this song, Cochran was established as one of the most important influences on rock and roll in the 1950s, both lyrically and musically; the song, released by Liberty recording no. 55144, charted at number 8 in 1958. Cochran's brief career included a few more hits, such as "C'mon, Everybody", "Somethin' Else", "Teenage Heaven", his posthumous UK number one hit "Three Steps to Heaven", he remained popular in the US and UK through the late 1950s and early 1960s, more of his records were posthumous hits, such as "My Way", "Weekend", "Nervous Breakdown". Another aspect of Cochran's short but brilliant career is his work as backup producer.

In 1959 he played lead for Skeets McDonald at Columbia's studios for "You Oughta See Grandma Rock" and "Heart Breaking Mama". In a session for Gene Vincent in March 1958 he contributed his trademark bass voice, as heard on "Summertime Blues"; the recordings were issued on the album A Gene Vincent Record Date. In early 1959, two of Cochran's friends, Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens, along with the Big Bopper, were killed in a plane crash while on tour. Cochran's friends and family said that he was badly shaken by their deaths, he developed a morbid premonition that he would die young, it was shortly after their deaths that he recorded a song in tribute to them, "Three Stars". He was anxious to give up life on the road and spend his time in the studio making music, thereby reducing the chance of suffering a similar fatal accident while touring. Financial responsibilities, required that he continue to perform live, that led to his acceptance of an offer to tour the United Kingdom in 1960. On Saturday, April 16, 1960, at about 11:50 p.m. while on tour in the United Kingdom Cochran was involved in a traffic accident in a taxi travelling through Chippenham in the county of Wiltshire, on the A4.

The taxi driver lost control of the vehicle due to excessive speed and crashed into a lamppost on Rowden Hill (a plaque toda

Joseph "The Animal" Barboza Jr. was a Portuguese-American mobster and notorious mob hitman for the Patriarca crime family during the 1960s. Barboza was born to Portuguese emigrants from Lisbon, who settled in the old whaling city of New Bedford, Massachusetts, he was born on September 20, 1932, the son of a middle-weight boxer, Joe Barboza Sr. and Palmeda, a seamstress. Joe Barboza was from Los Angeles and fought in only two professional boxing matches, he had a sister, Anne Houghton. Joe was fluent in Portuguese and Spanish, he was married to a Jewish woman. He fathered a daughter in 1965 and a son and lived in Chelsea, Massachusetts while employed by the Patriarca crime family. Joe himself would pursue a career as a professional light heavyweight boxer and member of the United States Boxing Association for a short period of time, with his first boxing match on April 18, 1949 against Rocky Lucero in El Paso and his last fight on September 23, 1961 against Don Bale in Boston, Massachusetts, he fought with an orthodox stance.

He boxed under the moniker of "The Baron". His boxing record shows Joseph as winning eight out of the eleven matches, with five of them ending in knock outs, he was classified as an out-fighter, known for having powerful punches. He was a sparring partner of Patriarca crime family associate, Americo Sacramone, future Massachusetts Auditor Joe DeNucci, Edward G. Connors and Anthony Veranis, he worked as a longshoreman and as a clerk in a fruit store but always returned to crime. He was first sent to prison in 1950 to the Massachusetts Correctional Institution - Concord for five years. Barboza would lead a wild prison break in the summer of 1953, which would become the largest in the prison's seventy-five-year history. Joe and six other fellow inmates had guzzled contraband whiskey and pilfered amphetamine tablets, overpowered four prison guards and raced away in two separate cars. During their furlough of freedom they beat random people in the street, cruised the bars in Boston's Scollay Square, wandered to the neighborhoods of Lynn and Revere, were apprehended at a subway station in East Boston.

The escape party had lasted twenty-four hours. That November, while awaiting trial for his prison break, Barboza slugged a prison guard in the cafeteria for no reason. Three months he tossed a table at a guard's chest when he entered his cell. Barboza may have first been exposed to figures of Boston organized crime while incarcerated at Walpole. Paroled in 1958, he became a recognized figure in East Boston's organized crime circles and was a regular at a bar on the corner of Bennington Street and Brook Street, which became known among local criminals as "Barboza's Corner", his crew of small-time burglars and thieves consisted of Joseph W. Amico, Patrick Fabiano, James Kearns, Arthur Bratsos, Thomas DePrisco and son team Joseph Dermody and Ronald Dermody, Carlton Eaton, Edward Goss and Nicholas Femia. All of his crew would all be murdered by rival mobsters including himself; the crew was supervised for the Patriarca crime family by Stephen Flemmi. He was never inducted into the Patriarca crime family because of his Portuguese heritage but within eight years during the escalation of gangland warfare he earned a reputation as one of Boston's most prolific contract killers and sidewalk soldiers.

He had a reputation of being fearless. It was believed in law official circles that Barboza had performed contract killings for Raymond L. S. Patriarca. By January 1966, Barboza was considered a powerful crime figure in the Boston underworld and was represented by F. Lee Bailey, which proved to be a huge mistake, but he was facing major problems. The authorities were on his heels. For disturbing the peace one night, he slugged a Metropolitan District Commission Police Officer, Joe MacLean, received a six-month sentence. After his release from prison and his graduation from an expensive cooking school he was shipped out on the SS President Wilson to the Orient. In his 1975 biography "Barboza" written by true crime writer Hank Messick he admitted to murdering at least seven men, although he bragged to his friends that the total was closer to twenty-nine because he wanted to be respected and feared — nobody knew the truth, he was known to take neighborhood children to the park or zoo. He would buy popcorn for children in the movie theatre that did not have any and his young daughter wanted for nothing.

He was an amazing artist and would entertain neighborhood children with his sketches of Disney characters. A few notorious victims on his murder roster while involved with organized crime included Edward McLaughlin and both Cornelius Hughes and Stevie Hughes, who Barboza hunted down in a fit of rage after receiving news that his best friend Vincent Flemmi was badly wounded in a 1967 shootout with them. Barboza aligned himself with the Winter Hill Gang in part because James "Buddy" McLean was an ally of Vincent Flemmi, who Barboza trusted along with his brother Steven Flemmi; as early as 1965, FBI agent H. Paul Rico, was using that trust to drive Barboza into becoming an informant. Joe drove a 1965 Oldsmobile Cutlass, referred to by law enforcement as "the James Bond car" because it had a sophisticated alarm system and a device for making thick black smoke come out of the tailpipe. By 1966, he had a turbulent position in the Boston underworld, he had been shot at while standing outsi
