that was said with tongue firmly in cheek. the beatles did, indeed, idolize him (see: lennon's glasses) and even covered "words of love". they took what he was doing and RAN with it. songs from "do you want to know a secret" up to "it's only love" have holly stamped all over them. and when you listen to songs like this and "well alright" they could have easily been lennon/mcartney tunes. after all holly was the original beatle!  |

It makes you wonder what popular music would have been like if there had never been Buddy Holly. A fantastic song.

One of my all time favorites. 1 / 1 / 4 / 5 nearly always gets me going (and BH uses it quite often), but the really, really cool thing (chord structure wise) are those quart steps in the middle eight with the last Bb resolving in an A resolving the circle as well as all questions, anxiousness and uncertainties. 10.

 I loved this whole LP, though, being all of seven years old and playing with my Dinky Toys while my brother had this on in the next room. |
