Quite educational!

Wow! Thanks so much for this!

Wow! Very cool story. I’m so glad this video was recommended! Thanks!

4:21 How could nobody know this was Buddy’s cousin? The resemblance is striking!

I knew Music Row was nearsighted back then, but they told BUDDY HOLLY he wasn’t talented? Wow… I guess they didn’t understand yet.

Buddy Holly. Was copied by a lot of groups. And started. Beat groups like Beatles Stones Hollies. And so many more. One of the all time Rick songs to this day that will B the Day. Massive

J.P. is doing a great job here. I knew Norman Petty before his death in 1983, he recorded me and published me. A very confident and knowing man. My mom, Marla Kay, was in a few pictures with Buddy when they were both children in Lubbock about 1940. Small world for destinies sometimes. I love Buddy Holley too. Thanks.

Greetings from BRAZIL, we are starting a rockabilly movement here, we are in the state of Minas Gerais, in the city of Belo Horizonte, we are bringing together pinups, hotties, bands, and the pompadour style, it is not easy here in this region, but we are winning every day, videos like yours and others encourage us to move forward. Thank you, my friend!!

saudações aqui do BRASIL, estamos começando um movimento rockabilly aqui, estamos no estado de minas gerais ,cidade belo horizonte , estamos reunindo pinups, hot, banda ,estilo topete, não é nada fácil aqui nesta região , porém vamos vencendo a cada dia, videos como o seu e outros , nos animam a seguir em frente. obrigado amigo!!

One of my favorite Buddy Holly songs is a tune called " Heatbeat" which you don't hear that often. It's a great tune, with a moving beat and nice melody. If I was playing in a band again, that song would be on the set list.

Back in 1981, the band I was in was on the same bill with Waylon Jennings , along with " The Original Crickets" at the Salinas Country Fairgrounds in California. I only wish now I could go back in time and relieve that afternoon. We felt honored to be there but probably didn't appreciate it enough as I would now.

Great job!

It’s incredible how many great talents were dismissed by Decca in the 50s and 60s. in the UK they rejected the Beatles.

How does this not have any views or comments? It's not quite Roy, but no one can do Roy for real. Roy's version is tailored to his capabilities which were unique.

That was excellent. Information i play a lot Of Buddy Hollys songs my favorites are Peggy Sue & Oh Boy!! People don't realize how good of a guitar player, Buddy Holly was.!!!! Rocky & The Hurricanes!!!

Really good stuff,but the musical examples of your great insights…just sayin’😂

Actually he never did fully cut ties with Norman because on the 12th September 1958, Buddy signed a new five year publishing deal with Normans company Nor Va Jak. I own the original agreement.

I've been a Buddy Holly fan since I was 6. I'm 38!!!! Still rockin'!

If you ask me Decca records, deserved to go out of business. They rejected Buddy Holly and they rejected the Beatles.

The absolute BEST rock n roll story EVER. When things were simpler....and POSSIBLE.

Amazing contribution to the pickups combinarion history 😂😂😂

Look, the versions you like are perfectly good, but there are better cover versions. Not every cover version has to be played in Buddy's style to be good - in fact, his songs are so good that they will sound great in almost any style - EVEN in the Rolling Stones' style. So where is Blind Faith's rocking version of "Well... All Right?" What about James Taylor's easygoing "Everyday?" There is Waylon Jennings' slower version of "Learning the Game." The Bobby Fuller Four did a rousing version of "Love's Made a Fool of You." The Grateful Dead's version(s) of "Not Fade Away" are evergreen. Peter & Gordon's version of "True Love Ways" brings a little British Invasion influence. A punk version of "Rave On" by the Real Kids? Serena Ryder does a fine gospel-style version of "It Doesn’t Matter Anymore." Brian Wilson did a real nice version of "Listen to Me." And of course, Linda Ronstadt's versions of "It's So Easy" and "That'll Be The Day" will make anyone forget that there was an earlier version in the first place. I enjoy your videos, but I think you should have dug into this topic a lot more before posting this video.

What another wonderful job. Thank you again!

And for some reason they call Elvis the king of rock, absolutely not Buddy Holley revolutionized rock n roll

What a WONDERFUL review. Thank you!

That ,ll Be The Day was recorded by Decca and all the songs recorded by them were released on an album called That.ll Be The DAY BUDDY HOLLY to cash in on the CRICKETS HIT.

Buddy holley is an absolute legend in the uk ❤❤❤

Very interesting back story to that song. I have the album from 1957 "The "Chirping" Crickets" with "That'll Be the Day" on it, on the Brunswick Label. I didn't know he first recorded it with Decca.

That was great. Very well researched (not always the case with UA-cam videos), and presented. Many thanks.

Excellent! I have / had the 78 version of TBD here in UK. I'll look for it. I think it was on the London label here. It caught us at the right time. That bright Fender sound (was it?). Buddy's was a softer more musical R&R. Rooted in Hillbilly I suppose. As an engineer & guitar player I give great credit to Norman Petty on all fronts. He was to them what George Martin was to The Beatles. He had the contacts & know-how and it shows. He had the equipment and the studio and knew how to use it. The acquisition of Tommy Allsup was masterful. Thanks for the great insights here.

Hello from Hollywood Joe - -

Excellent research!! James

So good to hear Buddy and friends had a vision , I can think of him with a big smile , another classic from a legend .

Paul McCartney’s MPL Music owns Buddy’s songs. The major hits. The Norman Petty company Nor-Va-Jak Music owed over $1 million in taxes. And Maria Holly still blames Norman Petty on the death of her husband.

It’s sad that Norman Petty is the co-writer of the major hits. He rip off Holly that would lead to Holly’s death.

Great playing and singing! Memories - I'm 74. Wish I could go back in time!

Sure about this?? my Strat has a tone control for the middle pickup and the other is for neck pickup. The bridge pickup has no tone control.

I still have B Hollys old LP record back in released in 63 , the white cover with Buddy with his iconic glasses. Great record, will have it always

Your thoughts on the collab on this song put together with the Hollies.

Nice Stratocaster, almost a 3 tone Sienna sunburst, beautiful to behold, sound is tops too!

This is a FANTASTIC video and history. I subscribed way before the video finished. Rock on, Sir! And thank you for putting this together! I look forward to seeing more of your videos. (And THANK YOU for not being AI -- I am now starting to read comments and reviews before hitting the "play" button.)

Long live Buddy!

Great job with the cover!

I met Buddy and the Crickets on their trip to the UK in March 1958, they played my local cinema the Gaumont State. A few years later I met the Crickets again and with some time with Sonny Curtis he showed me how James Burton played the middle eight to "Hello Mary Lou"- great memories.

Very nice

Owen Bradley would probably have had a thirty piece string section and a full chorus. But....let's not forget how Norman Petty stole Buddy Holly blind, same with the StringALongs and other artists.

Very interesting story of one of the most important rock and roll contributors. I know a guy who went to the US, drove to Lubbock and got to play with a guy who had played with Buddy Holly. I will be green FOREVER about that.

Such a great song to hear. But I like the Clovis version best. Sounded a lot better. Thanks, to this group of men. 👏

Nice job.

Thanks J P
