I appreciate Buddy more and more as the years pass. Really wish talents like his and too many others' weren't taken so young.

This was the first single to hit UK in '57 and was one of the records that turned me on to rock n roll. RIP Buddy.

It's on this Linda record, which came out in '76. The album cover made everybody's Bicentennial bashes just a little bit better...  |

so just wash your mouth out, junior! |

I made a comment on one of the other Holly song pages re Paul McCartney's Buddy Holly documentary "The Real Buddy Holly Story"—mostly compiled to correct the factual errors in "The Buddy Holly Story" movie (Gary Busey, 1978). The documentary concentrates on the Lubbock, Clovis, and Nashville bands and interviews all of the surviving Crickets, some of whom were ignored in the movies, as was Norman Petty, their Clovis-based manager. If you're a Holly aficionado, the documentary is essential.

Many of the recordings from the 50s blow away the 60s/70s multitrack stuff in terms of sound quality. Not until very late in the days of analog multitrack could the per-track specs on those recorders begin to match what the old 30 ips Ampexes could do. |

cool song I first discovered on the "American Graffiti" soundtrack when I was a kid. I used to love to air guitar on the bridge.
I can still hear Wolfman Jack on the intro..."Who's this on the Wolfman Telephone"?

Well, that's a totally legitimate response, in my opinion. If you don't care for it, you just don't — can't really criticize that. And you're not running around going, "Man, this sucks! Buddy Holly is overrated!" like a lot of others here. But I'm (no offense) quite a bit younger than you and I adore Buddy Holly — have since I was in my 20s. So I don't think it really has anything to do with being too young to like it. |

Buddy Holly died almost a year before I was born, but when my oldest boy was about two, (he's 28 now) he would say "that's Buddy Holly!" every time he heard any of his songs, so I smile whenever I hear any Buddy Holly. My boy still loves music.
