Who sings the song that goes James Dean James Dean too fast to live too young to die?

Answer 1

It was the Eagles and is on the Albums On the Border and The Very Best of the Eagles. The song is aptly named "James Dean"

Here are the lyrics:

James dean, James dean

I know just what you mean

James dean, you said it all so clean

And i know my life would look allright

If i could see it on the silver screen

You were the lowdown rebel if there ever was

Even if you had no cause

James dean, you said it all so clean

And i know my life would look all right

If i could see it on the silver screen

We'll talk about a low-down bad refrigerator,

You were just too cool for school

Sock hop, soda pop, Basketball and auto shop,

The only thing that got you off was breakin' all the rules

James dean, James dean

So hungry and so lean

James dean, you said it all so clean

And i know my life would look all right

If i could see it on the silver screen

Little James dean, up on the screen

Wond'rin' who he might be

Along came a spyder and picked up a rider

And took him down the road to eternity

James dean, James dean, you bought it sight unseen

You were too fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye

You were to fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye

Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye, bye
