- On April 29, 2011 Songmasters and PJ Clarke's hosted the True Love Ways event in NYC, which celebrated the genesis and impact of this great song and the love that inspired it. Five hours after they met, Buddy Holly proposed to Maria Elena Santiago at PJ Clarke's on June 20, 1958 at Table 53 and soon thereafter wrote True Love Ways for her as a wedding gift. At this event, Maria Elena Holly unveiled the never before seen True Love Ways photo of their wedding kiss, now displayed at PJ Clarke's above the very table where they became engaged. The Buddy Holly Guitar Foundation also presented Peter Asher with the coveted True Love Ways guitar, in recognition that he and his incomparable music partner, Gordon (Waller), made True Love Ways a worldwide sensation and to honor Peter's longstanding association with Holly's music as both a producer and performer. This guitar is an identical replica of Holly's renowned Gibson J-45 guitar and includes one fret from Holly's original guitar.
At the event, Peter used his True Love Ways guitar to recreate Peter and Gordon's timeless hit recording of True Love Ways (with a virtual Gordon co-performing). Peter also spoke at the event about his newest Holly project, Listen to Me: Buddy Holly, an album that he is executive producing for Songmasters. This album launches the Listen to Me series, a celebration of the True. Great. Original. artists of contemporary music, featuring today's greatest performers honoring their musical roots to raise substantial support for the next generation of music makers and entrepreneurs. Featuring Stevie Nicks, Pat Monahan of Train, Brian Wilson, Imelda May, Jackson Browne, Cobra Starship, The Fray, Ringo Starr, Chris Isaak, Linda Ronstadt, Jeff Lynne, Lyle Lovett, Natalie Merchant, Patrick Stump, Zooey Deschanel, and Eric Idle the album is available on Sept 6, 2011. More info about the Listen to Me year-long celebration of Buddy Holly and the album can be found at www.listentomebuddyholly.com.
Man, how can you not get teary eyed watching this?
I think after all these years Maria Elena stills loves Buddy
Of course she still does
A friend of mine ran into Maria Elena rather by accident back in the late 70s. She was an I & R technician (install and repair) for General Telephone (now Verizon) and was doing a job at a house in Irving, Texas when she noticed all these gold records hanging from the walls. The lady customer said matter-of-factly, "those were my husbands." When my phone company friend read a couple of the labels, she was stunned to realize who the woman customer was.
Omg just seeing Maria Elena had me in tears. Such as a sad story and obvious that Buddy was the love of her life. He was so ahead of his time, a legend.
This song always makes me cry! The most beautiful song of all time! Great job!
Veel emoties bij het zien én horen van dit prachtige nummer! Dank u wel mr, Buddy Holly, ,,,de wereld mist u!
Amazing. Thanks for that. I just got a Fender Strat and am really enjoying pretending to be Buddy. Thanks Buddy. From a Scottish fan.

Give this one the title_ GREATEST SONG OF ALL TIME!
Wow!! that was special, I'm off to get my guitar now.
Peter Asher is a great record producer and great guy as was Gordon.
So emotionally charged. Wouldn't it be nice to have a great song like this written for you? Nobody sang this song better than P&G. Gordon RIP.

...ein wunderschöner Nachruf an Buddy Holly...
So emotional to watch and listen to..So beautiful and heartfelt. I imagine Buddy would have enjoyed this. The song itself is so beautiful, I love the strings always have. A very majestic classy song, and an exceptional masterpiece. My love go's out to these lovely people and to Buddy and his crickets. If you want to know how kind Buddy and his band were. Check out, a Alvin Stardust, or Shane Fenton, his real name, interview, on how he met Buddy and the Crickets as a teenager. Thank you for uploading.

His wife, Maria Elana Santiago.
She is still so hurt by his untimely death. It's so sad!!! She always blamed herself cause she was pregnant and didn't go on that tour with him.
Poor Maria :(
hmm.. the video they are using of only Gordon Waller nowhere to be found.
