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!     {#Mrgreen}

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.

The latter would probably be too much for some people, but there are some really excellent soundtracks that could easily do the airplay here (Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, O Brother Where Art Thou, etc.). I imagine there would be rioting in the Radio Paradise streets were that level of continuinty introduced, but I for one would love it.
 

I would love it too!  {#Mrgreen}

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.

During the 60s I liked Holly but really didn't appreciate his artistry as much as I do now.  He really was ahead of his time with his melodies, instrumentation and lyrics.  And at such a young age.  No telling what he would have done had he lived to a ripe old age.  Yet another tragic loss of a musical genius.

I am a slavish fan of Buddy Holly, but this is one of my least favorite tracks of his. How about some of his really fab stuff?

All I can think of is that hilarious sex scene in the movie "Mischief," set to this song. Great tune.

Pure freakin' genius. When we lost Buddy, music went into a creative tailspin, and didn't recover until the Beatles grabbed it by the scruff of the neck.


Yeah, can't help but wonder where music would be today if Buddy hadn't died...
