you and my dad are the same age. I'll have to ask him if he remembers the crash. I was raised on rock and roll and old movies. as a millennial I have more in common with older folks than my own generation.
@@audiophileman7047I don't know how it would have worked out for Buddy long term,some accounts say he had a developing drink problem. But then, some people carry on with life anyway, somehow. But I think he was ready to cut down on the performing and get more into writing, and maybe recording and producing. Let someone else do the Winter Dance Parties.
@@user-uv3gy7bq1o there are still old people around,we haven't died yet, and a lot of us definitely remember the famous and very influential Buddy Holly. As well as Ritchie Valens, who's famous partly because he died on the same plane as Buddy.
@@user-uv3gy7bq1o I'm talking about the film "Buddy" with Gary Busey, which I've seen trailers of but never watched. Well I was a bit confused about your post, I thought that's the one you were talking about. Yes I've seen the less famous one about Ritchie. The one I saw I think was called "Donna", is that right? And Donna is a great record. Whatever, let's not fall out about it. But take it from me, yes Ritchie is well known in oldies circles, and may have gone on to great things,who knows? But Buddy Holly is a certified legend.
The greatest of all the 'what ifs' in music history. Happy 88th birthday (in absentia) Buddy 09/07/36....dedicated to my recently passed dear friend Sandy...
I can't say enough how great Buddy was. All the nuances of his melodies, harmonies, down strokes. If you pay attention this guy was ahead of his time. It was pop, rock, rock a billy, blues, and so on. If I could go back in time it would be that February day and stop that plane. Long live Buddy. Your music never died.
+Joe Rodriguez So true, Joe, which is why the Beatles borrowed so much from him and the Everly Brothers. The movie brings out how eclectic he was, pretty amazing for someone in rural Texas in the early '50s.
+Joe Rodriguez Yeah and Ritchie Valens too. They were far too young to die. I wish there was more footage of them. There is hardly any footage of Buddy Holly and even less of Ritchie. All the greats die too young.
+Walt Jabsco You've got it. How did they do so much with so little, and influence so many long after they were gone? I think it's safe to say without Buddy and the Everly Bros there really wouldn't have been a Beatles. At least we've got The Buddy Holly Story movie.
serferten I don't want to sound negative here but I thought the guy who played Buddy Holly in that film was pretty bad. He had the moves and stuff but he looked absolutely nothing like him. He had massive teeth, I couldn't take him seriously. He reminded me of that actor what played 'The nutty professor', not Eddie Murphy obviously, the original 60s one. And I am not a Beatles fan either. I don't know why but they do nothing for me. I told you my reply would sound negative!
Buddy was the first rock and roll performer to play, sing, write and produce his OWN music....in 1960, Buddy's most famous fan changed the name of his group from The Quarrymen to.....The Beatles, to honor Buddy Holly and The Crickets......WHAT A LEGEND
Buddy Holly, the 1st rock and roll artist to sing, writer, play and produce his OWN music....in 1960 Buddy's most famous fan, John Lennon, changed the name of his band from The Quarrymen....to The Beatles....in honor of Buddy Holly & The Crickets
Buddy's music is still fresh today and it was in 1958 when i seen him perform live. I talked to him and always remember the shy grin on his face. R.I. P..... you never be forgotten !!!!!
This is one of the songs that Holly recorded in his New York apartment in January of 1959, just him singing into a tape recorder and playing guitar. The backing vocals were added much later...after he died, in fact.
@@mathrodite As it says somewhat scatteredly in the description and comments, it started out in his apartment and the recording was later embellished with overdubs.
Bought a tear too my eyes remembering my upbringing in the 50s. Sisters bopping around our home, eldest brother a aspiring Teddy boy, soon to be curtailed by a spell in the Royal Navy, in my eyes my Nelson , sadly all gone now , but wonderful how music can evoke wonderful memories.
Backstreetboy52 That strikes a familiar chord with me too (brother called up for Scots Guards) but being born in '51, I escaped conscription! Music sure does bring back memories, though - both happy AND sad!
I remember the time I went to buddy’s grave. I played this song right there on my guitar. I felt a gentle breeze around me as I played it. I felt truly at peace. Thank you, Buddy Holly.
It doesn't matter who or when or what people try to duplicate the real Buddy Holly just can't come close. Buddy Holly was one of a kind and ahead of his time. Just simply the best and to bad we didn't get the more fine tuned Buddy Holly if he had lived because it would have been awesome. Simply the Best.
Buddy was the King. He just didn't get the credit. And yes ahead of his time. True definitive Rock&Roll was born in Lubbock TX. Buddy has brought me so much joy, and has been a friend to me when I had none. I seriously thank the good Lord for allowing us the short time we had with Buddy. His life was like his songs, short sweet, to the point, and always leave you wanting more! We will see him again one day...
@@robjontay5052 Couldn't 've said it any better myself!! First song I ever learned on guitar was "Peggy Sue"...then " Maybe Baby", with that F#minor chord. .

classic rock song, from one of the kings of rock buddy holly, love this his singing and guitar playing was out of this world, grew up on buddy holly, my nan when she was a live played loads of buddy holly, still love this guy today, shame he died so young.
One huge thing that many take for granted is in this uploaded clip: The basic format for a Rock n Roll band, seen here for the very first time. Lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass and drums. This was the idea of Buddy Holly. This simple and effective line-up has been the standard method of an art form for over 60 years and show no sign of waning. Appreciate this, people. It is a standard and a mark of genius.
massive buddy holly fan ever since i was a young child, i remember when i was little and my nan playing a record, and i asked my nan who is that playing. she smiled and said buddy holly. and i said play more nan. loved the guy since. shame he only lasted 3 as a pro rock singer. but his music will always live on.
This is an overdub. Buddy never heard it. He recorded it solo on his New York City Apartment Tapes with an acoustic guitar. He had broken away from the Crickets by this time. The Original Crickets that is. The scene is from the Crickets Ed Sullivan show appearance. Please let people know this for RockNRoll History Lessons. Its not right to deceive people. Momma Rocker gets peeved man like wow...
Yeah, thought the video dudnt match up with the songs audio. Looks like he's playing "That'll Be The Day", capol on the 5th fret, played in "E", sounds "A" to the ear..They prob had no video of this song, as,discussed earlier..
I went back home 7 years ago during Christmas. I hung out with my best friend John De Santiago and his family. We used to listen to and critique music. He played this song. And said for some reason I'm really into Buddy Holly right now. I told him that was my fathers favorite singer. This past weekend John passed away. I wish I could have told him what a great friend he was. John I will miss you forever. This song won't be the same anymore. Until we meet above. Good bye old friend
One of the purest melodies of all time, and one of Buddy's super sleeper songs. Catch George Harrison and the Beatles' version of "Crying, Waiting, Hoping" before the Fab Four became famous, but after the NAMED themselves after Buddy's Crickets. As melodist, lyricist, lead guitarist, and creator of the prototype rock and roll band, Buddy Holly is far and away the most creative of all the Rock Hall of Fame's first inductees. Of course, Elvis, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, the Everly Brothers, Ray Charles, Fats Domino and the rest are pretty tremendous themselves. Even though this video is from Buddy singing "Peggy Sue" on B&W TV, it's still a stunning example of the genius of rock and roll for the Texan lads. The Rock Revolution Rolls On.
Can you imagine what Buddy would have come up with had he lived past 22? This stuff here is already so ahead of its time. When the 60s came, what would Buddy have done? Could he have even crushed what did COME out of the 60s had he gone another direction? Sadly we'll never know.
To date it will be sixty years since he left us.Buddy Holy died tragically just too young at 22 on 3 February 1959. Forever a legend of Rock and Roll music Buddy Holly was an inspiration to groups such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. John Lennon was heard to have remark,"If not for Buddy Holly there would have been Beatles." Holly together with Ritchie Valens,the Big Bopper and Dion and the Belmont's in that ill fated Winter Dance Party tour.Iowa was one of the schedule performances.
When I was a bit younger, this man made me want to play music. The Strat was the best solid gold instrument of the time, and then he played it to open the doors of the future of music, lyrics, voice, lead play all there and more.
true legend gone way too soon along with the Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens wonderful careers so very short may they rest in peace and keep the music going with Elvis
Buddy Holly had a huge influence on all of the Beatles. In 1958 it was rare to have a songwriting, guitar playing, lead singer heading up a rock and roll band. Even The Crickets name inspired them to take the name Silver Beetles.
Buddy died before this version was recorded. He doesnt play the Lead here. He didn't play on this recording technically. It was a bunch of studio musicians whose names you can locate in Archives. He died before the tapes were taken from his NYC apartment and handed to 2 producers one Buddys former engineer / manager at Clovis NM studios. It's from his NYC apartment tapes recorded in late 1958 December) and Jan. 1959 with Buddy writing and singing and playing along with an acoustic guitar. No reverb effects...just Buddy and his guitar. He never heard this version. Buddy does'nt get enough credit for his playing of his Fender Strat guitar. Everyone else played a Gibson. Buddy is Truly someone who changed how RockNRoll is played. But he wouldn't live long enough to know it....
His old producer, Norman Petty took a band named the Fireballs and did the music and another group called the Picks for backing vocals on his newest songs.
Yeah. this has Donald Arnone on lead guitar. George Harrison particular liked his solo enough to learn it. not the easiest to learn by ear. I had to watch someone on youtube playing it to learn it. From what i gather on discogs Donald was a jazz guitarist and maybe played spanish or world music as well. Not alot of his playing on youtube though, if it is his name isnt mentioned.
@@bluephalanx Oh, hell yes!! Much, much better! No comparison! I had a 57-58 J50, similar guitar, natural, bigger pickguard, log neck..sounded different, but good. Had to sell it to make a rent payment...wasbt really in love with it. J45s are nice guitars..go back to just after WWll..
Yes that was definitive Rock and Roll music and Buddy Holly and his backing group the Crickets were belting out the number "Crying,Waiting,Hoping" made popular by Los Lobos in the 1986 movie "La Bamba's" starring Lou Diamond Phillips who played the character of Ritchie Valens.
Yes I agree he is and will always be the true king of rock and roll he wrote and produced his songs he did more in the short time that he was here then other musicians could do in a lifetime
I, as a Buddy Holly fan big time, loved it!! Hic-cupping, they called it. Loved this song, heard the Beatles do it on "Live @ BBC" album...Learned their version. Still don't have that tricky lead down..!
He had a great Articulative aspect to his voice the same way that Bing Crosby did. Unique in the style and specifically that genre and really set him apart.
Who knows where we end up after we leave this place, But if possible, this is somebody I'd Love to hopefully meet someday, been a fan since I was 10 and my Mom bought me one of his albums, that was back in 1973 and I still have that album plus now all the BH CD's I could lay my hands on. LOL
In a spirit of good will I would like to share some Buddy Holly history, as it is reflected in this UA-cam post. Buddy's younger fans often speculate about what they see and hear. For the fans who care, firstly, the video is from Buddy Holly's first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show. Two songs were performed by the Crickets that evening. First was That'll Be The Day. Second was Peggy Sue. The video used here is of That'll Be The Day. The drumming style used by J.I. on Peggy Sue was completely different. The easy way to tell is J.I. never uses his hi-hat while playing Peggy Sue. As to the song, the original was recorded by Buddy in his apartment shortly before his death, just Buddy and his acoustic guitar. Later, for commercial release, the song was overdubbed by The Jack Hansen Combo to add additional vocals and instrumentation. Personally I like this song very much. Finally, a compliment to 2paulson2 for a very well done and tasteful post.
guitarist was Don Arnone,not a ' regular Cricket guy'--- DonA was an elite session-musician who was called in when producer 'Hansen' faced the task to make some tapes more presentable after Buddy's death🙁
These artists are the GREATEST and ALWAYS will be. Reminds me of my babyhood, I was just 2 years old. Even when I grew up, Buddy Holly was my favourite. PURE GENIUS!
I am on my aunt's UA-cam user. Even though i am only in 7th, I am the only 7th grader/8th person who LOVES Buddy Holly , Eddie Cochrin, The Everly Brothers , Richie Valens , Fats Domino and other awesome oldie singers. I based my appearance on my idol , Buddy Holly.I hope I become the next Buddy Holly
@@hewgrebe4771 I was,about 7 or 8 too...in the Long Island/N.Y. area. My cousin bought his,records, which I sadly left in a relocation move. I bought "Rave On"..that broke...Lose all around...except for being able to play his music, and sing it as a performer..
You cannot use enough adjectives about Buddy Holly. He was the “Mozart” of Rock and Roll. But also I hate that Richie Valens is too often overlooked. You talk about someone who made SOMETHING from nowhere. I really would have like to have seen where he would have taken music. Whatever “it” is they both had it!
Yes, Valens started off with 3 singles and passed. Then Bob Keane had a lot of studio tracks and home recordings he released. I also found a boxed set called 'Come on, let`s go` with 3 discs. It has all three of his albums plus there are extras, too. Plus he was a great performer.
How right you are thy were all great singers i was a little girl then and my older sisters would have me danceing too there music just brilliant, 😪👍♥️♥️♥️👑👑👑👑👑👑👑😫
Just thought I would let you know that this song was not discovered until after Holly died! Along with other songs with just Buddy and his guitar. These were the first 'overdubbed' versions and they were later 'overdubbed' again at the request of Hollys parents as they were unhappy with the first result. Naturally they requested Norman Petty to complete the task and what a great job he did with the help of The Fireballs with George Tomsco playing lead guitar.
this song was recorded by Buddy in his apartment in New York on his tape recorder on what is now known as THE APARTMENT TAPES and was never released in his lifetime .this recording is backed by The Fireballs and recorded at Norman Petty's studio. it was one of 6 songs he could not put his name to.he was a ROALITY THIEF.
thanks for the post,great song from the so cool so great buddy holly sure looks like those guys were haveing the time of ther lifes,dam if i could go back in time i would park my f-150 right in front of that plane, what ever will be will be r.i.p. buddy -ritchie-bopper-roger,thanks for the music that will last the end of time,
After Holly's death on February 3, 1959, his home recordings of his last six compositions were turned over to record producer Jack Hansen. Hansen hired studio musicians and a backup vocal group, the Ray Charles Singers, to augment Holly's vocal(1) and guitar(1). ------studio version of "Crying, Waiting, Hoping" was recorded on June 30, 1959 at Coral Records' Studio A,--------Because "Crying, Waiting, Hoping" was popular in England's Merseybeat-scene, the song was recorded by others, including the Beatles, with George Harrison doing the vocal and replicating STUDIO GUITARIST Donald Arnone's instrumental bridge, NOTE FOR NOTE. One of the recordings was officially released in 1994 on Live at the BBC
My mom and dad went to see buddy at the town hall in Birmingham 60years ago and I went last week to see buddy the guy who play him was fantastic but it wasn’t buddy my mother and father loved buddy holly bless you buddy x

BUDDY HOLLY & THE CRICKETS ..THEY INVENTED THE STYLE OF THE BEATLES IN their early Pop period (1962-1964)
Roberto Ginsburg so basically the beatles is between Buddy Holly's stylke and the Crickets style?
Buddy Holly & The Crickets (Crickets---Beetles), Everly Brothers and Arthur Alexander..the Main Influences for the Early "Beatle Sound". ;)
+Roberto Ginsburg,,, dont forget the stones not fade away
Daniel Green Right..but The Stones was more Chuck Berry, Howlin Wolf type of music.
+Roberto Ginsburg He certainly anticipated the Beatles. They named themselves after the Crickets. "Beatles"
One of the purest melodies of all time, and one of Buddy's super sleeper songs. Catch George Harrison and the Beatles' version of "Crying, Waiting, Hoping" before the Fab Four became famous, but after the NAMED themselves after Buddy's Crickets.

Can you imagine what Buddy would have come up with had he lived past 22? This stuff here is already so ahead of its time. When the 60s came, what would Buddy have done? Could he have even crushed what did COME out of the 60s had he gone another direction? Sadly we'll never know.
If Buddy would have lived Elvis would haven taken a back seat to him. They both were great but Buddy shines the brightest.
MrKewlblue so true
You left out Eddie Cochran...
MrKewlblue Valens, holly and Cochran
Elvis admired Roy Orbison.
Buddy Holly is my absolute favourite!!! God how I love him! Bobby Fuller was great as well!!!
mis this music so much ,thats why i still play on mandolin and my 1960s guitar trying it on my mandola
Buddy Holly had such great talent. His music & legacy will always live on. Buddy Holly is of course one of my favorite artists.
Hello Denise, How are you doing?
@@Kelly-nm4kw I am doing good. Thank you for asking. How are you doing?
@@denisel.1327 I’m doing well thanks for asking Denise, So tell me where are you from?
@@Kelly-nm4kw I do no wish to mention where I am from for protection purposes. I am sorry.
Buddy Holly you may have been taken out of this world at only 22 but your fame will never die . Your great music will live forever 🎶🎶
magic rock song from the godfather of rock buddy holly. always loved his songs. and wow one of the greatest guitar players ever.
To date it will be sixty years since he left us.Buddy Holy died tragically just too young at 22 on 3 February 1959.
Forever a legend of Rock and Roll music Buddy Holly was an inspiration to groups such as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
John Lennon was heard to have remark,"If not for Buddy Holly there would have been Beatles."
Holly together with Ritchie Valens,the Big Bopper and Dion and the Belmont's in that ill fated Winter Dance Party tour.Iowa was one of the schedule performances.
WHEN Music still had TRUE Meaning!!!
This touches my heart so much!!
When I was a bit younger, this man made me want to play music. The Strat was the best solid gold instrument of the time, and then he played it to open the doors of the future of music, lyrics, voice, lead play all there and more.
Once sgain,,same here!! One of my early mentors.
Wish he would have lived a long life !!! What am Impact he had on our music in such a short time !!!!
Love Buddy Holly,,
He was awesome !!
true legend gone way too soon along with the Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens wonderful careers so very short may they rest in peace and keep the music going with Elvis
The most talented song writer in his time, such a shame we lost him, but his music will never end
Buddy Holly had a huge influence on all of the Beatles. In 1958 it was rare to have a songwriting, guitar playing, lead singer heading up a rock and roll band. Even The Crickets name inspired them to take the name Silver Beetles.
Buddy died before this version was recorded. He doesnt play the Lead here. He didn't play on this recording technically. It was a bunch of studio musicians whose names you can locate in Archives. He died before the tapes were taken from his NYC apartment and handed to 2 producers one Buddys former engineer / manager at Clovis NM studios. It's from his NYC apartment tapes recorded in late 1958 December) and Jan. 1959 with Buddy writing and singing and playing along with an acoustic guitar. No reverb effects...just Buddy and his guitar. He never heard this version. Buddy does'nt get enough credit for his playing of his Fender Strat guitar. Everyone else played a Gibson. Buddy is Truly someone who changed how RockNRoll is played. But he wouldn't live long enough to know it....
His old producer, Norman Petty took a band named the Fireballs and did the music and another group called the Picks for backing vocals on his newest songs.
buddy also had a gibson J-45 their acoustic guitars are much better than fender's
Yeah. this has Donald Arnone on lead guitar. George Harrison particular liked his solo enough to learn it. not the easiest to learn by ear. I had to watch someone on youtube playing it to learn it. From what i gather on discogs Donald was a jazz guitarist and maybe played spanish or world music as well. Not alot of his playing on youtube though, if it is his name isnt mentioned.
@@bluephalanx Oh, hell yes!! Much, much better! No comparison! I had a 57-58 J50, similar guitar, natural, bigger pickguard, log neck..sounded different, but good. Had to sell it to make a rent payment...wasbt really in love with it. J45s are nice guitars..go back to just after WWll..
@@natetheguitarkid Thank you very much on that Nate..Nice, different lead.
Yes that was definitive Rock and Roll music and Buddy Holly and his backing group the Crickets were belting out the number "Crying,Waiting,Hoping" made popular by Los Lobos in the 1986 movie "La Bamba's" starring Lou Diamond Phillips who played the character of Ritchie Valens.
It about to be 15 years on 2025 😢
The true King of Rock n Roll. He had the imagination and talent to be able to create his own music and pioneering the way for those that followed.
Yes I agree he is and will always be the true king of rock and roll he wrote and produced his songs he did more in the short time that he was here then other musicians could do in a lifetime
I love him like a brother, thank God for my buddy, hope to see you in heaven some day.
Me too, as,well...Maybe he'll be in concert.
I can't help but keep thinking about the great music and memories that would have been had Buddy Holly lived.
crying waiting hoping u [buddy] come back ,,,we miss u bh
Who else thinks that thing he does with his voice is cool
Where he goes mi I I ind
Very cool. I love his hiccups.
i loved it when he was still alive, still love his music
I, as a Buddy Holly fan big time, loved it!! Hic-cupping, they called it. Loved this song, heard the Beatles do it on "Live @ BBC" album...Learned their version. Still don't have that tricky lead down..!
He had a great Articulative aspect to his voice the same way that Bing Crosby did. Unique in the style and specifically that genre and really set him apart.
Who knows where we end up after we leave this place, But if possible, this is somebody I'd Love to hopefully meet someday, been a fan since I was 10 and my Mom bought me one of his albums, that was back in 1973 and I still have that album plus now all the BH CD's I could lay my hands on. LOL
Just brilliant can’t describe how good he was what a massive loss
Buddy Holly and the original Crickets!!! Wow ,can you imagine being outside their garage door when they where starting out!!!
In a spirit of good will I would like to share some Buddy Holly history, as it is reflected in this UA-cam post. Buddy's younger fans often speculate about what they see and hear. For the fans who care, firstly, the video is from Buddy Holly's first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show. Two songs were performed by the Crickets that evening. First was That'll Be The Day. Second was Peggy Sue. The video used here is of That'll Be The Day. The drumming style used by J.I. on Peggy Sue was completely different. The easy way to tell is J.I. never uses his hi-hat while playing Peggy Sue. As to the song, the original was recorded by Buddy in his apartment shortly before his death, just Buddy and his acoustic guitar. Later, for commercial release, the song was overdubbed by The Jack Hansen Combo to add additional vocals and instrumentation. Personally I like this song very much. Finally, a compliment to 2paulson2 for a very well done and tasteful post.
Thank you for your post!
I'm from 2020 31 years old enjoying song :). older that my mother I hope my mother and this music live forever. Cheers from Mexico.
The Crickets were a great backing group. The guitarist was brilliant in this video.
guitarist was Don Arnone,not a ' regular Cricket guy'--- DonA was an elite session-musician who was called in when producer 'Hansen' faced the task to make some tapes more presentable after Buddy's death🙁
Ma wee dad loved this rip Bobby logan watp
an american icon and american legend ,the great buddy holly,one of the early rock and roll pioneers
this is the best version of this song, u dont know how many buddy holly cds ive bought just trying to find this version with the harmonies...
THE BEST OF GOOD MUSIC.♪
GABRIEL BEHD RIP
Yes !!! Brasil
These artists are the GREATEST and ALWAYS will be. Reminds me of my babyhood, I was just 2 years old. Even when I grew up, Buddy Holly was my favourite. PURE GENIUS!
Buddy Holly is the king of rock and roll
Excellent great buddy holly and the crickets
I am on my aunt's UA-cam user. Even though i am only in 7th, I am the only 7th grader/8th person who LOVES Buddy Holly , Eddie Cochrin, The Everly Brothers , Richie Valens , Fats Domino and other awesome oldie singers. I based my appearance on my idol , Buddy Holly.I hope I become the next Buddy Holly
I'm actually in 9th grade and OBSSESSED with Buddy! =3
elinor najera Great taste in music for your age.
forget about looking like him, if you can create like he did...he didn't copy anyone, not even his idols
Good job. I was 7 when I started liking him. He wrote all of his own stuff, too.
@@hewgrebe4771 I was,about 7 or 8 too...in the Long Island/N.Y. area. My cousin bought his,records, which I sadly left in a relocation move. I bought "Rave On"..that broke...Lose all around...except for being able to play his music, and sing it as a performer..
WoW! Such an unbelievable wonderful video of the GREAT Buddy Holly!! What a precious track of this incomparable ICON!! Thank you for this!🎶💕😍😍😍😍
You cannot use enough adjectives about Buddy Holly. He was the “Mozart” of Rock and Roll. But also I hate that Richie Valens is too often overlooked. You talk about someone who made SOMETHING from nowhere. I really would have like to have seen where he would have taken music. Whatever “it” is they both had it!
Yup and he was only 17 holy crap can you imagine him at 25 or 27
Yes, Valens started off with 3 singles and passed. Then Bob Keane had a lot of studio tracks and home recordings he released. I also found a boxed set called 'Come on, let`s go` with 3 discs. It has all three of his albums plus there are extras, too. Plus he was a great performer.
Richie & Buddy,given the chance,would've jammed with each others guitars into the wee hours!
How right you are thy were all great singers i was a little girl then and my older sisters would have me danceing too there music just brilliant,
😪👍♥️♥️♥️👑👑👑👑👑👑👑😫
Just thought I would let you know that this song was not discovered until after Holly died! Along with other songs with just Buddy and his guitar. These were the first 'overdubbed' versions and they were later 'overdubbed' again at the request of Hollys parents as they were unhappy with the first result. Naturally they requested Norman Petty to complete the task and what a great job he did with the help of The Fireballs with George Tomsco playing lead guitar.
Hero's get remembered but legends never die
Buddy Holly is one of the all time greats. I didn't discover his music until 1965 and I wore out a double album set listening to it. Great stuff.
all the great cars and music came at those years
Favorite artist of all time.
RIP Legend, 61 years today 02-03-2020!
this song was recorded by Buddy in his apartment in New York on his tape recorder on what is now known as THE APARTMENT TAPES and was never released in his lifetime .this recording is backed by The Fireballs and recorded at Norman Petty's studio. it was one of 6 songs he could not put his name to.he was a ROALITY THIEF.
Still magic, and still the man. Rave on Buddy
Buddy Holly just around the corner from me from Lubbock Texas
The day the music died legend rip
Buddy Holly is not dead he's just much worse than a bad attorney in Phoenix.

After Holly's death on February 3, 1959, his home recordings of his last six compositions were turned over to record producer Jack Hansen. Hansen hired studio musicians and a backup vocal group, the Ray Charles Singers, to augment Holly's vocal(1) and guitar(1). ------studio version of "Crying, Waiting, Hoping" was recorded on June 30, 1959 at Coral Records' Studio A,--------Because "Crying, Waiting, Hoping" was popular in England's Merseybeat-scene, the song was recorded by others, including the Beatles, with George Harrison doing the vocal and replicating STUDIO GUITARIST Donald Arnone's instrumental bridge, NOTE FOR NOTE. One of the recordings was officially released in 1994 on Live at the BBC
