Buddy Holly - this is one of the people Don McLean was writing about in "The Day the Music Died", along with Ritchie Valens ("La Bamba") and others. Buddy is totally classic old rock. Listen also to "Peggy Sue" and any Buddy is great stuff. Jim Croce, SRV, John Denver, most of Lynyrd Skynyrd all died in plane crashes.
Randy Rhoads from Black Sabbath as well. I don't think they heard him play guitar. Nice list.
And the lines in "American Pie" about "them good old boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye; Singin' "This'll be the day that I die.This'll be the day that I die". was referencing this song. So glad that they chose this one to listen to first.
And Ricky Nelson died in a plane crash also
Patsy Cline and Jim Reeves as well.
Patsy Kline is another great taken by plane. Early artist didn't just tour alone. Promoters would create entire show line ups and send them out by bus. These caravans could be out for months doing 4 or 5 shows a week. Early acts could be on the road hundreds of days a year.
I’m from Lubbock. He is EVERYTHING here. We just opened a brand new huge, beautiful performance space named the Buddy Holly Hall.
He was the TRUE King of R&R
If no crickets,no Beatles. the rest is history.all animals had there names in lights.
You must be SO proud. The mind boggles as to what he would have achieved.
"Peggie Sue" and "Rave On" are Buddy Holly songs that rocked amazing grooves and still do.
Buddy was one of the first to write and produce his own music. Back in the day, artists sang songs from their record company's catalog. Buddy was revolutionary and could've 'repelled the British invasion' had he not died in 1959. A couple of my Buddy Holly faves (other than the most known songs) are True Love Ways, It Doesn't Matter Anymore, and Not Fade Away.
It wasn't just Buddy Holly's music that was such an influence on those that followed him. He was one of the first who wrote and performed his own music and the configuration of the band was an influence as well. The Crickets pioneered what became a standard R&R quartet: lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass and drums. The Beatles salute to the Crickets was right there in their name, one kind of insect for another. One of the best love songs ever was Holly's True Love Ways.
Buddy Holly didn't invent Rock N Roll. But he did invent the Rock N Roll band. He was the first to have one or two electric guitars, a bass and drums. He was a Rock N Roll pioneer. Check out "True Love Ways."
Buddy was the guy who made the Fender THE guitar for rock.
Buddy Holly "Everyday" has to be next. It's a perfect song.
YES!
True Love Ways
Love that song. Reminds me of the movie Stand by Me which has that song in it!
That's one of my favorites!
I love that song, great suggestion
So much more to Buddy than just this song, listen to Learning the Game, Words of love, True love ways.
Not only did the plane crash inspire "American Pie" by Don MacLean, but this song is what he is referencing in the Chorus with:
"Good old boys were drinking whiskey and rye
and singing This'll be the day that I die..."
A play on the title of this song by Buddy on the day Buddy did die.
Buddy was brilliant and his influence can be heard even today.
"Oh Boy" is another Buddy Holly classic.
Yes. Led more into the rock side. They should do a trilogy of buddy, Richie and bopper.
Buddy Holly was the Pioneer of rock and roll in '57 and '58 really bringing it from rock-a-billy to rock and roll. He pioneered the use of orchestra with rock for instance with "True Love Ways." Just one of his contributions. He was 22 when he died. Little known is that one time he had opened for Elvis Presley.
The line from "American Pie" "them good Ole boys drinking whiskey and rye singing this'll be the day that I die." was about this song. McLean was a huge Holly fan and wanted to memorialize Holly as the innovator that he was. That single line will forever remain an iconic reminder of a talent lost way to soon and fill our imaginations with what could've been.
He was a rock and roll pioneer there is so much more to listen to.
Buddy Holly is one of three singers who died that inspired “American Pie” song. Richie Valens and the Big Bopper were the other 2. It was a small 4 seater plane and flew in the night in a snowstorm
They weren't in a snow storm. They were bound for a storm during the flight. The plane went down less than 5 minutes into the flight, strictly from pilot error. It was barely snowing in Mason City, when they took off.
Waylon Jennings was going to be on the flight, but he gave up his seat to the Big Bopper
@@darrinlindsey Waylon Jennings himself said they were in a blizzard. They knocked snow off of a house on the way down. But yes, the pilot was not trained on those instruments
@@kathyastrom1315 yes, and they were kidding around when they left. Buddy said "I hope your bus freezes up again." And Waylon said "I hope your damn plane crashes."
@@fatguypa The weather report for Mason City on February 3rd that year, says that it started snowing sometime after 2am.on the 4th. They took off between midnight and 1am. Look up the damn thing on UA-cam. There's about 10 videos explain the reason for the crash.
Buddy Holly’s song “True Love Ways” was the first song by a Rock’N’Roll artist to incorporate strings. He was also one of the first artists to record using overdubbing (prelude to multitrack recording)
You should listen to the recording of this song by Vi Petty.Vi Petty was the wife of Buddy Holly's producer and sometime organist and pianist,Norman Petty.
Buddy Holly basically invented the Rock band. Two Guitars, a Bass a Drum, wrote a lot of their own music, kept the same players all the time. He's a Mount Rushmore figure of Rock and Roll.
What a cool way to put it, a mount rushmore figure of rock n roll! For me the 4 heads that would be on that are Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Elvis!
love you guys to listen to more Buddy Holly songs. love it.
Buddy's music relates even with today's music. His friend, protege, and band mate at the end was Waylon Jennings. Waylon started the Outlaw Country movement with Willie Nelson. Much of the rougher edged country today is direct from that making them third generation from Buddy. Buddy was one of the greatest innovators ever in either genre. Watch "The Buddy Holly Story" and you'll understand how great his impact really was.
P.S. Watch "La Bamba" as a follow up movie as it is the story of Ritchie Valens. Ritchie and the Big Bopper we're the other two artists on the plane with Buddy when it crashed in Clear Lake, Iowa.
That was a great movie. So well done.
Waylon was in the backing band at that final concert and was offered a seat on the plane but decided not to take it !
Buddy Holly was the troubadour and pioneer who died at twenty-two years old. He only had eighteen months of fame. The following groups played his songs: The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Grateful Dead, Eric Clapton, Blind Faith, to name just a few. Each one of Buddy's songs is different from the next. He was one of the first rock and roll performers to write and perform his own music, use strings, double-track his voice, and use a variety of percussive tricks all in 18 months. He wrote the blueprint for rock and roll along with his contemporaries. Buddy was part of the FIRST class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. I would be elated if you reacted to "Well alright," "Everyday," "Early in the Morning," Listen to Me" or "It Doesn't Matter Anymore," and you will see how diverse he was.
The Beatles were HUGE Buddy Holly fans. Paul McCartney said: “I still like Buddy's vocal style. And his writing. One of the main things about The Beatles is that we started out writing our own material. People these days take it for granted that you do, but nobody used to then. John I started to write because of Buddy Holly. It was like, 'Wow! He writes and is a musician'.”
& has glasses! He was apparently embarrassed he wore them but then came Buddy Holly.
The Beatles were named in tribute to the Crickets
ua-cam.com/video/MoUM44C26oQ/v-deo.html
Fun fact: Paul McCartney dressed as Buddy Holly every year for Halloween for YEARS.
The Beatles didn't quite start out writing their own music. They started their recording career with their own songs, yes. But up until the end of 1962 they were basically an R&B cover band.
That breathing thru the words sound is very uniquely him. One of my all time favorite artists
Fun fact: Buddy Holly was an early adopter of Leo Fender's iconic Stratocaster guitars. Other famous users: Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton.
He appeared to be playing a Les Paul here.
@@richdiddens4059 No, Buddy is out front on the Strat.
... then SRV, David Gilmour, the list goes on.
And Rory Gallagher
@@richdiddens4059 his rhythm player is on the Les Paul. What with the horned rim glasses and all the Brylcreem in their hair, identification can be difficult
Yes and YESS! BUDDY innovated multi-tracking,wrote amazing original songs which are still covered today!
This sound is in the rockabilly genre.
Fun fact: Buddy was the first white band to ever play the Apollo Threatre in Harlem. They booked him thinking they were African Americans and wanted to cancel but Buddy said no man I'm playing there. He got booed before he started but did his magic and brought the house down with people dancing and screaming in the aisles.
A lot of rock critics feel he would have been bigger than Elvis. He wrote, produced, played multiple instruments and tragically died at the age of 22. Imagine what he could have done if he had graced us on earth another 10 years.
If you ever watched The Young Ones, you know that Buddy actually survived and he wrote "Cuckoo Daddy Long-legs" before tragically hitting his head on the floor and then dying.
Waylon had said pretty much same thing. If Buddy had lived he would of probably owned a label and changed production in some good ways.
He was a BIG deal
Chart wise, Elvis wasn't really all that impressive. His career lasted 24 years and he charted 38 top ten hits. The Beatles charted 33 top tens in 8 years.
I've always kind of wondered whether, had Buddy lived, if the door for the British Invasion might not have been so wide open. I just think that the music he'd have made from 1960-64 would have been so much more interesting than what we ended up with.
Elvis saw one of his earlier shows. He told Buddy he should get a drummer.This was the creation of the foundation of all rock bands today. They were the first to do rock with a drummer, bass and lead guitar and the lead singer. All rock and roll is based on the sounds this combo has to offer. Buddy was also the first to split mono in to stereo. So yes Buddy Holly and the crickets were the first rock and roll band. Then the day came when the music died. RIP love the voice.
Knew you'd end up on this song eventually. "The day the music died" that you heard in Don McLean's "American Pie" referred to the day Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper perished in a plane crash. You did Los Lobos' version of Valens' "La Bamba", but you should also do "Chantilly Lace" by The Big Bopper. "Peggy Sue", "Oh Boy!" and "Maybe Baby" are other great Buddy Holly songs.
Buddy Holly Is the greatest artist of all time he’s my hero for all time he just seems cool and seemed like a very nice person
Buddy Holly was a big influence on many people including the Beatles
Wonderful as usual thank you so much my face hurts from smiling again.
Buddy Holly arguably can be considered the "father" of the traditional rock line up , lead guitar, bass, rhythm guitar and drums. Before him most bands were essentially mini-orchestras.
Elvis (rhythm), Scotty Moore (lead), Bill Black (bass), and DJ Fontana (drums) would like a word with you, and they weren’t even the first… Buddy Holly was amazing, but some of you guys are elevating him a bit much.
And that's the thing. It's true, about Buddy. And about Elvis, too.
@@JonBurrows3577 Not to mention Sister Rosetta Tharp.
@@JonBurrows3577 Well, to be fair I did say "arguably" and it worked! We're arguing! :)
Proper to say 'one of' the pioneers, because Buddy did it his way. Even recorded a hit song with no guitars or drums.
"50% ROCK-50% ROLL
100% DANGEROUS"
(Show poster from a Lubbock
Event).
Buddy Holly really helped to pioneer putting guitar forward in Rock and Roll. His guitar playing was put up front on nearly every song and along with Chuck Berry, they paved the way for The Beatles to step forward with a guitar driven band, which led to Led Zep, which led to....on and on. Yes Buddy Holly is indeed a rock n roll pioneer.
Yes. Buddy Holly was the first generation of the 1954 Rock and Roll boom, a pioneer and inspiration to a generation of guitarists that would write the Classic Rock songs you’ve been enjoying.
Get your year rite he came after 1954 elvis came in 54
I'd go 55-59 til his passing.
That'll Be The Day came out in 1957, it was one of his early big hits. He was 22 when he died on February 3, 1959. He was on the Winter Dance Party tour, which was going through the Midwest. The tour buses that were being used were not properly equipped to handle the frigid cold and broke down so he decided to charter a plane to take him and his band to their next stop. Waylon Jennings, who was part of Buddy's band at that time gave up his seat to the J.P Richardson, aka the Big Bopper, who had the flu, and Tommy Aslup, the bass player gave up his seat in a coin toss with Ritchie Valens. The plane took off around 1am on February 3, but crashed about 5 minutes or so after take off, killing all 3 singers and the piolet instantly.
This has been covered a lot even by Linda Ronstadt. Holly was definitely one of the pioneers of rock n roll influenced many who would follow him and his band the Crickets long after his untimely death in a plane crash on February 1959. John Lennon named his group The Beatles in honor of the Crickets. The Hollies after Buddy Holly. In his brief career he left an indelible mark upon music.
Crickets inspired the name Beatles.
And of course the Hollies...
Linda's version is great!
Yeah it's cool when you know all the influences that later influenced others, etc., etc. For example, Buddy once said his vocal style was sort of an attempt to emulate Elvis Presley. (And of course Elvis' style was inspired by many black artists who came before, from blues, gospel, and elsewhere.)
@@GeoffCB I mentioned them
The Beatles were inspired by Buddy Holly and The Crickets. He was original and unique, wrote and sang and wore those glasses which blew John Lennon's mind. Too bad he died so young.
Rave On is maybe my favourite Buddy Holly song. So sad that we lost so many talented folk in plane & car crashes over the years.
Buddy Holly was an opening act for Elvis during his first tour in 1955. So they're contemporaries. The band played country but switched to rock n roll. Holly also opened for Bill Haley and his Comets , which got him a record deal when a scout saw him. He died on the same plane crash as Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. Holly was the one who chartered the plane.
In the late 50s, a lot of bands dressed up for TV and concerts. His glasses were a huge fashion inspo, not to mention his skill as a singer/performer/songwriter. I find his sign definitely country tinged, but he also took musical “chances” using a full orchestra, for example. Definitely more to dig into with this man whose death inspired Don McLean’s magnum opus, “American Pie.” Yes, a pioneer.
Buddy was definitely a pioneer of rock.
"Oh Boy!" is my favorite Buddy Holly song! I can't believe more people haven't mentioned that song. It's only 2 minutes long, but it rocks out with a fast tempo and some really slick guitar riffs.
Yes, just above Peggy Sue
My top five are:
That'll be the Day
Oh Boy
Peggy Sue
I'm Looking for Someone to Love
Everyday
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (aka Dirt Band) covered "Oh Boy" very well. Dirt Band can be considered bluegrass, country, lite rock. Buddy Holly started it all...
yes! Oh Boy and Rave On tie for my fave ^_^
This was recorded in 1957 by Buddy Holly & The Crickets. Holly was known for his rockabilly-tinged sound. This song was covered many times, including in 1958 by a little local groups in Liverpool, England consisting partly of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison. Linda Ronstadt did a popular cover in 1976. Other artists who had talked about Holly's influence on their music include Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Bruce Springsteen. Try: "Peggy Sue", "I Guess It Doesn't Matter Anymore", and "Everyday".
I appreciate your dedication to some of the earliest rock artists. Buddy Holly was a major pioneer in that he wrote his own songs. Please consider Be Bop a Loo La by Gene Vincent.
Buddy Holly is awesome. So many great songs
Between Buddy Holly and Elvis, they were the first to have a 4 piece rock band (guitars, bass, & drums). Paul McCartney said that Buddy Holly was a major influence on The Beatles.
Aww thanks for this Buddy Holly is my uncle, his last name was spelled Holley until a record company left out the e so he left it that way, his grave has it spelled Holley, we are also related to Elvis Presley distant cousins unfortunately he never knew it, I've spoken with sir Paul McCartney and they picked the name the Beatles because he liked the crickets and he liked Buddy's music
"Rave On" is still my favorite Buddy Holly song! That and "True Love Ways". Both are so worth listening to!!
The double bass player was Joe B. Mauldin. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears when, about twenty years ago, we saw The Crickets play a wonderful show at the Assembly Halls here in Chingford, Essex in England. They were great, just getting up and playing for what seemed like two hours and featured many of the songs that Sonny Curtis wrote which were recorded by artistes such as Gene Pitney, e.g. I Fought The Law. Wonderful innocent times.
He was only 22 when he died in a 1959 plane crash along with Richie Valens and the Big Bopper. ( The Day the Music Died)
Got to try Peggy Sue from him.
Also try Chantilly Lace from the Big Bopper
You two are a sweet couple. That makes it easy to watch.
As for Buddy, he along with Chuck Berry, practically invented rock and roll.
Buddy Holly's sound was rockabilly from the 50's. The beatles loved him.
And WE LOVE YOU!!! Beautiful inside & out 💝😍
Love Buddy Holly, and he was a pioneer in Rock & Roll. He tragically passed away too soon In an airplane crash with Richie Valens, and The Big Bopper. Don McClain later sang about that event calling it “The Day The Music Died” in the song entitled American Pie. ❤️✌🏼😎
Please don’t forget about Beth Hart. I’m still patiently waiting. 😂
So glad someone is actually reacting to Buddy Holly!! I absolutely love Buddy Holly..My mother passed on the 50th anniversary of the plane crash. We also lost Richie Valens and The Big Bopper in the same crash. He was a pioneer of Rock n Roll "Bop" as it was originally called. He was one of the first White artist that played at the Apollo Theater. Paul McCartney owns the song catalog of Buddy Holly.
You can cover this again on female Friday, with the Linda Ronstadt version. Generally speaking, when Linda sings a song, it becomes hers. :)
BTW, if I have it right, the guitar Buddy is playing - the Stratocaster - became popular after this performance. A ton of people who wanted to play rock bought one. This list includes Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and David Gilmore (Pink Floyd).
The Beatles were originally a cover band... their repertoire contained 100's of songs of all types. They learned different styles and sounds that they incorporated into their own writing and melody. The Beatles used techniques and progressions that they didn't find in sheet music and that no one else had done; they heard it in their heads and put it to sound on their guitars, piano, bass and drums. It made their music fresh and alive which was the power of their popularity. They were totally unique on the scene, from personal style to the sounds they made.
Guys like Sting saw them on the Ed Sullivan Show and said to themselves, "oh yeah, I can do that." School kids like Tom Petty, Duane and Greg Allman and others took over their parents' garage to learn to play music on the radio; most of the "rock gods" got their start that way and traveled a long road to achieve commercial success with their own sound and proficiency. The result were 3:00 minute masterpieces played on AM Radio to kids around the world. Later, "album rock" made inroads to FM stations that commercially catered to longer and more complex songs than the 3 minute Top 40 record spin.
Buddy Holley, Elvis, Carl Perkins, Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis were a few of the rock pioneers that introduced the genre to a whole group of teenagers in the 1950's. Their little brothers and sisters heard these early records and were well primed to hear the "next step" by the time the Beatles came along in 1964.
As others have said "Everyday"! That's my favorite Buddy Holly song - I hadn't heard it until the "Stand By Me" soundtrack came out, which by the way would be a great movie for your movie reactions.
My older siblings were teenagers when Buddy Holly burst into the scene. (I was a geeky first-grade school kid :) but his albums played continuously whenever the "big kids" were home.
The Beatles used to do at least 13 of Buddy's songs in their live shows, many of them can be heard on the Beatles' Anthology albums, their Decca audition album, and their Live at the BBC albums. They did a short snip of Maybe Baby in the Get Back Sessions that's showing on Disney+ right now. They recorded Words of Love for their first album. Paul owns the rights to all the songs that Buddy wrote. Another tie-in to the Beatles' name was that it was similar to the Crickets.
Buddy Holly was a pioneer rock and roller. Combing rock, rockabilly, and Texas twang with his amazing song writing ability. The man wrote hit after hit and is remembered as one of the greatest. The Beatles say Buddy Holly was one of their biggest influences. Thank you for your reaction video and the respect that you showed to him. His backup band The Crickets, actually stayed in music for awhile and did several guest appearances with other artists.
the beatles name was meant to honor the band by choosing an insect
Great reaction! Buddy Holley, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper, played for the last time at The Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa. Their small plane took off from nearby Mason City, IA and crashed shortly after lift off. Many people visit the crash site, even today, and also enjoy watching bands perform at The Surf.” This is only 90 minutes from my home.
“The Day The Music Died”
😞
Don McLean's 'The Day the Music Died' (American Pie) was written about Buddy Holly. His plane crashed with him, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper all on board.
Please do more Buddy, he was amazing.
The song was called American Pie.
The song’s name is American Pie. It tells the story about American Rock ‘n Roll in the late ‘50’s through all of the 1960”s.Some of the story was personal with the struggles of Don McClean trying to break through to get radio air play while the British rock invasion dominated!
Waylon Jennings was supposed to be on the plane, but gave up his seat to the Bopper, because he was coming down with the flu, and needed the rest he could get on the plane vs the bus, plus arriving earlier
Buddy was "the Music". It's literally what they called him as a nickname.
Richie Valens won a coin toss for a seat on the plane. It wound up costing him his life.
The band the Hollies (Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress, The Air That I Breath) named themselves after Buddy Holly. Also, country music legend Waylon Jennings played bass in the Crickets.
RAVE ON! Buddy Holly was very different for his time... R.I.P. Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, J.P. Richardson aka the Big Bopper and their Pilot.. Roger Peterson.
Buddy wrote this song or the saying That’ll be the Day from a John Wayne movie, The Searchers. Throughout the movie, John’s character remarks, “That’ll be the day.” My husband saw him in concert here in Madison about a year before the airplane crash. Bob was at a concert in Chicago seeing Don and Phil Everly, Connie Frances, and Bobby Darren. After the concert he headed back to Wisconsin, when he got back home the radio announced Buddy’s death.
He was a pioneer and a great influence on many bands. The Beatles' name was inspired by Buddy Holly and the Crickets. They covered his song, Words Of Love.
Buddy only released one album and a handful of hit singles before he died. But if you listen to all the songs he recorded that weren't released, you can hear that he was already interested in exploring the limits of this new musical form called rock and roll. Who knows how much more he had to give that we lost the day the music died. Fun story: when Elvis was first getting popular, you could book him to play a concert for $100 a night. So a promoter in Texas booked him to play five shows in five different Texas cities in one week - big money in the mid 50s. And at two different shows that week, two young men saw Elvis perform and decided to give music a try. Those two men were Buddy Holly and Roy Orbison. We owe that concert promoter, and Elvis, so much.
Buddy Holly was a huge contributor to the rock bands of the sixties and their sound! He was only 22 when he’d died in that plane crash on Feb. 3, 1959!❤️❤️
So, how innovative was Buddy Holly. As I recall Holy was the first performer of that genera who used a string section in recording some of his music.
So many great Buddy Holly songs. My favorite is "Everyday". You might be interested in early Marshall Crenshaw since Holly was a big girl influence on his early songs like "Some Day, Some Way" and "There She Goes Again".
I always felt like Elvis Costello reminded me of Buddy. Elvis's music was a little more urban, NYC pirate radio sound. But still that look and deeper baritone voice..
@@masterofsparkshwy6974 Well, Crenshaw did play Buddy Holly in the movie "La Bamba".
@@richardb6260 ah he did ! I forgot about that. Crenshaw's a cool dude...
Buddy holly was basically an inventor of rock n roll alongside big bopper and Ritchie valens they were all rock n roll pioneers
Buddy Holly absolutely was a pioneer, and one of the first artists (along with Chuck Berry) to write his own songs.
In 1958 everybody was a rock and roll pioneer. They were all just inventing it as they went along. Every song was a breakthrough.
The "standing thing" is a bass. Specifically an upright bass or double bass. And yep, he was definitely one of the pioneers of rock and roll and a major influence on many bands and musicians.
Absolute legend RIP BUDDY
Carl Perkins is ALWAYS overlooked as a pioneer of rock and roll. He wrote, sang and had a hit with Blue Suede Shoes before Elvis ever did it.
Elvis never wrote a song and never left the US except while he was in the army. So much for being labeled a king.
He was first white performer at the Apollo, yes he was pioneer
Linda Ronstadt covered this song and "It's So Easy" and had hits with both of them in the 70's! Also in the 70's, there was a movie about him that was a popular movie. Gary Bussey played Buddy!
Buddy has some great songs. One if my favorites that really rocks is, 'Rock around with Ollie Vee'
Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper all died in the same plane crash. The song American Pie "the day the music died" is a reference to that crash. I'm pretty sure you reacted to that song. Yes Buddy was definitely a pioneer.
Buddy Holly Always a great choice.
And before Holly, Chuck Berry!
Chuck Berry defined rock&roll with his hits
"Roll Over Beethoven", "Johnny B. Goode", "Memphis, Tennessee", "Maybellene" and "Sweet Little Sixteen". Gotta listen to all of these and then back to Buddy Holly.
Buddy was certainly one of the originators or the “Founding Fathers” as they call it
Gary Busey was nominated for an Academy Award for his portrayal of Holly in "The Buddy Holly Story" from 1978. It was a pretty big hit and worth a viewing.
Even though it's massively fictionalized.
The 1978 Buddy Holly Story is so inaccurate on so many fronts. Holly never played a Telecaster, he was famous for using Stratocaster. There was no mention of his Manager/Producer Norman Petty. There is a good film to be made about Buddy's life but the Busey version is far from the truth
@@JohnWalker-vs5rz It's fine as an intro to Holly. It's not billed as a documentary.
@@muffinamy83 The problem is, because of various copyright and legal issues it wasn't possible to use Holly's own music in the film, and there still are problems regarding this. Busey made a valiant effort to sing and play like Buddy, the fact remains it was at best an amateurish attempt and, as I said, wrong on so many fronts.
@@JohnWalker-vs5rz Busey was nominated for an Academy Award for his portrayal of Holly NOT because he was so bad at it and there was no reason to use Holly recordings because all the songs were performed live by Busey. Like any other movie there will always be naysayers. Have a nice day.
Love Buddy, I wore out a cassette of his when I was a teen..do the math, I was born in 71. A top ten artist for me no doubt.
Rave On is a favourite of mine from Buddy Holly, he was a genuine pioneer of rock and roll, writing his own songs and playing guitar, the Beatles were heavily influenced by him
Rave On is another great Buddy Holly song. Also, when the Beatles played on Ed Sullivan for the first time, John Lennon asked "Is this the stage where Buddy Holly played?"
What still amazes me about Buddy Holly is that his music still sounds "modern". Even though he recorded this more than half a century ago it still sounds great!
RIP Jerry Allison, Buddy's drummer, majorly inspirational in rock and roll history, left us just a few days ago
This guy influenced - everybody.
Buddy Holly is a Saint of Rock and Roll. His songs were influential and he changed how rock and roll was recorded. Legend.
I love Buddy Holly! "Rave On" and "Everyday" are my favorite songs of his. The Beatles covered "Words of Love" on their first album, I think? So yes, he was influential and a pioneer in the genre. He died when he was only 22 and had already made a huge mark by that time.
When his band played in london, the fans went bonkers. No one could believe the sound that wss coming out of these 4 guys. It was loud and in your face. There was an article in a rock magazine that interviewed a lot of people to include R&R stars who were there as teens. To a tee, they said how loud they were and how everything was smooth.
Props to the both of you for featuring one of the greatest rock n roll pioneers
he is the TRUE king of rockn roll..everyone followed him..as like the beatles and many mor:)
I'm putting in another request for the Eddie and the Cruisers soundtrack. It was a movie from the 80's - but has a mix of 50's and 80's style music in it. All of the music is actually performed by John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band. I know it sounds pretty confusing - by the entire soundtrack is one of the best since Grease. If you could check out On the Dark Side, Tender Years, Hang up my Rock and Roll Shoes, or Seasons in Hell - I would love you forever..........Merry Christmas wishes to you and your family.
Yes, please react to Eddie & The Cruisers. Some songs are "On The Dark Side"; "Running Through The Fire"; "Tender Years".
Great movie
Great movie and soundtrack. It was my son’s first rock concert at the Bloomsburg Fair in Bloomsburg PA. He was very young or he would have never gone with his parents😊
The standing instrument is an old fashioned bass. Buddy Holly was definitely was a pioneer of rock n roll along with Little Richard, Richie Valens, Chuck Berry, Elvis and several others. Speaking of Elvis, if you haven't seen the clip where he dances so provocatively for the 50's that he gets banned from being shown on TV from the waist down, it's worth checking out. I believe it was on the Milton Berle Show.
He died in a plane crash on February 3, 1959, along with Richie Valence and the Big Bopper. This is "the day the music died".
😢
I was a 14 yr old HS freshman the day the music died in February ‘59. I was sitting on my bed, doing my homework and listening to the local rock & roll station when the bulletin came on. My heart
almost stopped beating! I cried for hours! I still get a lump in my throat remembering it and I’m 77 now.
Buddy Holly was only 22 at the time on that horrible faithful day when he, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper ended up in that plane crash that ultimately took all their lives.
Don McLean's song "American pie" (The day the music died) was written because of this event.
Each of these young musicians were on their way to the top, Buddy was already quite famous but he too was still growing his fame at the time.
He was certainly one of the pioneers of rock n roll, but i personally think that Sister Rosetta Tharpe was one of the very first to do it.
Thnx for the react :D
Buddy had so many hits in such a short time. If he had lived as long as Elvis, in my mind he would have been the King of Rock and Roll.
Dude no way. Never in a million years. lol
I don’t get the need to compare other geniuses to Elvis, let their genius stand on its own merits.
