@@kylekullin2520 If you read my post, I was talking about someone who invented rock. Tom Petty isn't old enough to have participated in the invention of rock. I'm not simply talking about people who are good at rock.
The movie is a total travesty of the truth. A valiant effort was made by Gary Busey to replicate Buddy's music. Oscar nomination or not he never got close to the original.
From a young age, in the 80s, my mum loved old music (to me). I grew up with Buddy Holly whilst all the young kids were listening to New Kids on the Block. I didn't care. He was a great lyricist, emulating the feel of the period he lived in. Especially from a young man's perspective of that time, hoping he will find love. So sad his life ended so tragically.
Glad that you are doing some more of Buddy Holly's music. He was one of the early pioneers of 1950's rock & roll. His style was influenced by gospel music, country music, and rhythm & blues acts. He wrote a lot of songs during his short life. "Maybe Baby", "Peggy Sue", "Bo Diddley", "Everyday", "Oh, Boy!", "Not Fade Away", "Rave On", "It's So Easy", "True Love Ways" etc. He was only 22 when he died in a plane crash along with Ritchie Valens & The Big Bopper. This tragedy was later referred to by Don McLean as "The Day the Music Died" in his song "American Pie".
Some of the songs you quoted are not written by Buddy Holly: Rave on and Oh boy are written by Bill Tighman, Norman Petty and Sonny West., Peggy Sue is written by Norman Petty and Jerry Allison. And thanks to somebody else who is THE GOAT there was question of Buddy Holly and that's Elvis Presley of which Buddy Holly said by himself that without Elvis Presley there was no rock 'n roll.
Imagine how Rock Music would have changed had he not died along with Richie and The Big Bopper. As many have said Waylon Jennings gave up his seat on that plane and he never really got over it. Buddy's last comment to him was "I hope your damn bus freezes up again" and he joked back that "Well, I hope your ol' plane crashes." He lived with Guilt over that for a long time.

MEL, yr absolutely right he put rock n roll on the map, a true pioneer! One of the most beloved singers in music singers. His songs, voice were all good for me
Buddy Holly and The Crickets were the first White group to play The Apollo…the management thought his band was Black…and then was afraid the audience would riot. The audience loved them!
In 2011 on a tour bus in NYC we passed by the Apollo Theater and I was telling the young tour guide about Buddy’s playing there and he said he”d never heard that but would start including it on his tours. I was a huge Buddy Holly fan as an early teenager!
A lot of knowledgeable people have said that - if Buddy Holly had lived - he would be called the King Of Rock n Roll. He and the Crickets pretty much established the 3 piece rock band as a standard. Didn't start it - just locked it in.
I always wondered how the rest of his career would have gone, and what he'd have thought of the Beatles and the rolling stones and if he would have recorded anything with them!
@@dragonfire7734 He was a quick study, and mastered multi channel - sound on sound and sound over sound recording- with some relatively primitive studio equipment - back in the day.
Check out Buddy Holly at the Apollo theater. The booking agent thought they were black so they accidentally became the first white performers ever at the Apollo. After the initial shock they blew the audience away which isn't easy at the Apollo. React to the actual not the movie remake
The Man From Lubbock, Texas. Try his tunes, Rave On, Maybe Baby, True Love Ways, It's So Easy, Fool's Paradise, Well Alright, and Raining In My Heart...
@@woodysthoughts4032 He didn't miss it, he gave his seat to Holly, they joked with each other about that, Buddy saying that he hoped the bus broke down and Waylon saying that his plain crashed! :-(
He was playing an electric base, actually and drove Buddy nuts, with his inexperience, causing the usually quiet, non-swearing Buddy into yelling "Turn down that GD base!", at him!
I love Buddy. Of course I live in his hometown. I can tell you that he's still very popular, I once met a tour bus full of British fans who came all the way here to visit the Buddy Holly Museum.
That was in 1957, I was 17 and learning guitar & R&R the first songs I performed with our trio for dances & nightclubs were "Oh Boy" "It's So Easy", & "Peggy Sue" (Holly) "LaBamba" & "Oh Donna" (Ritchie Valens) "Chantilly Lace" (Big Bopper). . A great foundation for a New Style of Music that came out of the Independent American Experience . . Why did it end ? - Making Music a Big Business & GREED !
Buddy Holly did have a unique style! His band was a 3 man unit called Buddy Holly and the Crickets! Paul McCartney said he did influence the Beatles a lot! He died in a tragic plane crash in 1959 at the peak of his success, along with rockers Richie Valens and The Big Bopper!❤️❤️
He also sang a song called Bo Diddley, which was a tribute to Bo Diddley, another 50's Rocker with a characteristic way of playing. Check him out to.. Try Willie And The Hand Jive or I want Candy as an introduction.
In 1958, Buddy sang this song on the Ed Sullivan show and sang Oh Boy. Sullivan found the lyrics offensive due to the “all my life, I’ve been a waiting. Tonight there’ll be no hesitating.” Sullivan felt this line was scandalous and had Buddy’s amp turned off. Buddy played harder. He would never agree to appear on the Ed Sullivan Show again. The performance is available on you tube. You can see the anger on Buddy’s face as he plays like a man possessed. In Buddy’s own words, he would “not fade away.”
I was raised in New Mexico but was born in Lubbock Texas. ,(I'd never want to live in Texas today). I was always proud though to say I was born in the same town as Buddy Holly ❤️ When he first started out they sent him to Motown and they thought he was black and they booked his band at the Apollo. He did great and the rest is history. This has always shown to me that music and emotions are universal 😄
Hey you gotta give credit to his backing band The Crickets... R.I.P Buddy Holly Gone but not forgotten. Hey you would love Rockin' Ronnie the Hawks Hawkins - Who Do You Love - forty Days - my Girl Is Red Hot - Mary Lou Way too many songs to list as he been play n for 65 years and is still performing
It still amazes me that Buddy and the Crickets had such a full sound when there were only three of them. Buddy was on guitar and the other two instruments were drums (of course) and a bass fiddle AKA a stand up bass.
Dont forget that Bobby Fuller was inspired by Buddy, and wanted to keep Texans in the rock scene....you oughta try some bobby fuller 4. " never to be forgotten" let her dance", and " i fought the law"- written by the crickets!!!

The Buddy Holly Story 1978 all 3 actors played and sang it all themselves. A side note when the drummer and bass player decided to go back to west Texas the well know outlaw country artist was from the same town as buddy and took over and played bass for him for a brief period and was suppose to be on the plane but gave his seat to Richie Valens who was sick. The movie was a good movie and approved by the family.
To say that he put rock and roll on the map is probably one of the biggest understatements ever! His career only lasted 18 months, so sad! as the famous story goes, Buddy was on tour with Waylon Jennings and they got into a friendly argument about who would fly to their next gig and who would ride in the tour bus, i can't remember how they decided but buddy said to Waylon that he hoped the bus broke down on the way, and Waylon said “I hope your ol' plane crashes.” unfortunately for Waylon, he had to live with that joke for the rest of his life!
I live in Omaha Nebraska which is about 2 - 2 1/2 hours from Clear Lake Iowa where his plane crash occurred. My daughter and I took a little road trip to see and pay our respects last summer.
Like Buddy's other song says he will ""Not Fade Away." The day Buddy died along with Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper (and Roger Peterson, Pilot) is known as the day the music died but to me it was more like the day the music was reborn. Their music is still very much alive 64 years later.
Buddy Made wearing glasses cool. After him Roy Orbison and John Lennon both had glasses. One of them had said If Buddy could wear glasses so can I or something to that effect.

@@johnstrong4089 "Before Elvis, there was nothing." John Lennon. In Texas of 1955 Elvis immediately influenced Jimi Hendrix, Roy Orbison and Buddy Holly in one fell swoop. They all saw him in concert and their musical lives were forever changed.
Super sad story. (Correct me if I’m wrong) He passed away on the flight and had only been married 6 months or so, his wife was pregnant and found out via tv or radio and later had a miscarriage.
Since today's his birthday🎂, how about you visit (1957) Little Richard - Lucille?! edit: Did you know that Little Richard was sometimes called The Architect of Rock&Roll? Yeah, baby.🎹🔥
Awesome. Glad you’re reacting to Buddy Holly. Check out some of Waylon Jennings songs. Waylons One of the greatest ever. So many want to talk about Johnny Cash, who is great too, and his romance with June. However I believe Waylons story is just as good including his romance with Jesse Colter. When you watch them together, Waylon just oozes the love out when he looks at Jesse singing or just talking. Fun fact, Johnny Cash and Waylon were roommates in their early years. And Waylon played in Buddy Holly’s band (Crickets) Waylon was supposed to be on the plane with Buddy Holly (when it crashed) but he gave his seat up to the Big Bopper because he was sick. Buddy Holly made a joke to Waylon about enjoying the bus ride with no heat, and Waylon replied back jokingly - I hope your plane crashes. Which obviously he didn’t mean, but Waylon said he regretted it and it has bothered him all of his life. Waylon named one of his sons after Buddy. Also Waylon was the first one to challenge the record company when it came to freedom in his music. He paved the way for so many after him. I wish they’d make a movie of his life, as they did with Johnny Cash, while Jesse and his children are is still around to advise on it. Waylon passed away in 2002 from complications of Diabetes and I cried for a week. Waylon is truly a legend. Waylon doesn’t get the respect over all that he deserves. Check out some of his music.
"The Buddy Holly Story" starring Gary Busey is worth a watch. Gary even performed Buddy's songs himself. I was surprised.
Gary did a great job & was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor.
The Buddy Holly Story was a total travesty of the truth. It was largely nonsense and was not at all close to the reality of Buddy's life.

Buddy Holly is the True King of Rock N Roll.
This song and buddy holly is the definition of rock and roll.
Charles Hardin(Buddy) Holly :9/7/1936-2/3/1959) He was influenced by gospel, country, rockabilly and rhythm and blues. 1955 he open for Elvis Presley.
The most amazing thing about Buddy Holly, was how much he accomplished in about a year and a half. If he had lived, well,,, who knows?
Oh Boy!, recorded at Norman Petty Studios, same session as Peggy Sue.
The original recording is available of this session prior to it's overdubbing with The Picks, which took place about a month after in August 1957
