The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

I find it hard not to believe that the rhythm guitarist isn’t also Buddy Holly
:DDDD
Fun fact! That’s actually Nikki Sullivan! As far as I know he wasn’t part of The Crickets for very long, but he’s absolutely fantastic in this recording!
Nikki Sullivan was also a Good 🎸 Guitarist! He wasn't with the Crickets very Long.
Nikki Sullivan played on 27 of Buddy Holly's 32 recordings. Also is in the Rock-'n'-roll Hall of Fame as a member of The Crickets.
I think they might both be Steven Colbert.
Jerry Allison's left hand speed at 0:26 is simply doggone awesome. His accents, changes of intensity while being perfectly in time.. It's simply delightful to watch for any musician or real music lovers. Jerry was unique.
If only he could have learned to relax a little. :)
@BRYCE HARDY Jerry Allison is the Drummer.
@BRYCE HARDY, facepalm moment. The other guy is talking about the drummer, Jerry Allison.
@@daveconleyportfolio5192 relax a little ?? he's pretty relaxed. His timing always was perfect, even at 18 playing live for millions of people, like here.
was? hes not dead
Hard to imagine that Buddy was only 22 when he lost his life. And that Ritchie Valens was only 17. Hurts my heart we lost them so young.
We before my time and it still bothers me 🩵 I wasn't born until 1988
That didn't hurt anyone more so than Waylon Jennings. 😢
For the longest time that bothered my mother. She grew up in Bancroft Iowa and would be at that show when she was 19.
Still make me sad
Cat Stevens wrote a great song about that!
63 years passed...February 3rd.2022...this is the day...Buddy.
R.I.P. Buddy Holly
(1936-1959)
Fun Fact: The rhythm guitarist, Niki Sullivan's guitar was not plugged in for this performance. One of many reasons that led to him leaving The Crickets.
Road Out West why was he performing then
Jello Cat; probably for looks lmaoo idk kinda weird tho. If buddy had lived he probably would of needed a rhythm guitarist for the 60s
RIP Jerry Allison 8/22. Shout out sitting here in Lubbock.
i like the foghat version from the album energized. so good
Good songs. Wish they were longer with more progression. Rock 'n Roll evolved over time. Elvis kicked it up a few notches.
Elvis didn’t do anything new
Elvis was a performer like Britney Spears.
One of the first 45's for me to own. His influence can neve be understated.
Love this song and him!! He made amazing music, RIP!❤
Amazing how someone can make a song that holds up this well in 2021
Not hard to do with "current music"
Super!
Glad the beatles came around. Els, we'd be listening to Garth brooks greatest southern hits right now.
When I lived in Lubbock, Texas to attend Texas Tech, I met a few who knew Buddy Holley. I went to church with one of his cousins and met a childhood friend of his when I did volunteer work. I also substitute taught at Lubbock High School and (can’t remember the name now) of his middle school. Both places showcased some of his school work. I also loved going to the Buddy Holly Center.
I’ve never seen a video of Buddy Holly performing before, I didn’t know he could SHRED
This is so good! Please also upload when latin singer Rosita Serrano appeared on this show on february 5, 1950. She sang Cielito Lindo
My dear friend and mentor on the right. Life has been real sweet thanks to him..Love you Joe B.

Still listening Buddy August 2023
Buddy Holly is fucking amazing
Now this is Rock n Roll.
History right here.
Literally the very first rock & roll band.
1:01. And that day is Feb 3rd 1959. RIP Buddy.
BUDDY HOLLY IS A LIVING LEGEND!!!
Buddy Holly was the first Beatle!
Damn that bassist is vibing
Hahaha yes, Joe did some funky things with his Bass 😂
Hello woody, I see happiness
I see happiness all around you, can I please share from it?
Always amazes me how short songs were back then
Songs can be adjusted to fill whatever time is available. This was done for a tv show.
Rip to the one n only buddy holly
Show this to all the people who think this song was made by The Beatles.
Funny to think that when this was recorded, the stratocaster was still a pretty new instrument.
キャーーー💕ほんものをみてしまった🎵👍
I wish I had a time machine to go back & tell Buddy, Ritchie & the Big Bopper not to take the plane.
Better yet, fake the crash and bring them here to the future; where the music industry is currently dead
Same here i wish the time machines was real
The man that invented the template for the rock and roll band.
Jerry Allison, the drummer and co-writer, died today (august 2022). RIP
Какая трагичная судьба!😢
It's such a tragedy that he died so young. Imagine what he could of produced if he lived longer?
Yes, while still in his early 20s, he was already progressing, and the stage he was progressing from was advanced enough to put other accomplished musicians to shame. Anyone who loves rock and roll was robbed by that plane crash.
We were cheated buddy was one of a kind and so was Waylon
this isn't that good. it's generic pop
weezer fans explaining why they frantically point and strain their vocal cords when they hear someone mention buddy holly:
I love the Buddy Holly Story movie with Gary Busey, which introduced me to Buddy's music, but I find it really sad that the clip from the movie at the Apollo has 10x the views of actual footage of the real Buddy Holly.
February 3, 1959 Was “the day” 😱
The guy who played the bass that looks like a violin is actually 17 years old but looks like he’s in 40s
0:40
That "that'll be the day, when I die" made me smile. But shit, he coincidentally predicted his own death in that lyric, though
@@vlexer22 well, it felt that way even if it wasn't a prediction. When I say this, it reminds me of how The Simpsons don't really predict anything, and that it's a coincidence
@0:40 Truman Capote sat in on drums for this set.
1:21 no fourth chord. Texas style hard rock. Early Z Z Top.
Why the song short
that was a day. that music died
The only band that mattered. Sorry Clash.
nick fuentes on drums
There was a time when this was the heaviest music ever made
Bach, Beethoven and Rachmaninoff existed...
@@Adyman182 ah, I have been made a fool. Classical music can get pretty heavy sometimes.
@@henrydouberly3950 a lot of jazz around this time was pretty heavy too
I was gonna say Beethoven has entered the chat! lol
But in all seriousness, this WAS the "hardest" music out there at the time. Amplified guitars, r&b drum kit, upright bass (which, in real life really cuts through the air compared to electric bass), and a happy-go-lucky singer who's lyrics had a bit more to them than what met the eye on the surface (like most music of the day).
For people who can't get into older rock, or jazz, or whatever - I always suggest they watch it live. Through those live performances, you really get to see the craftsmanship, the sweat, the performance. Sometimes the records can be sterile - especially if you listen to hip hop, heavy metal, or pop all day.
50's and 60's music really is great. Before the 'do it in the studio' mumbo jumbo. Everything was recorded live, and innovations were made on the daily.
@@TheDylandProductions I can't understand how they get a mix like this - especially the vocals which seem to be unmic'd.
It's crazy to think that back on the 50s this was considered the Devil's Music. Music has changed so much in 60 years, it's crazy.
Yep
Today's ARE the devil's music.
I think we are pretty close to the devil. Charon has his hand out to lead us across the river Styx to meet our maker.
I’m not one to call any music the devil’s music, but the folks who DID call this the devil’s music would have vomited at Montero.
Jazz, rock n roll,heavy metal and gangsta rap at one point was called “devils music”
The rare sighting of a legend. RIP Buddy Holly. Thanks for inspiring John, Paul, George & Ringo.
Yeshhh
Imagine being one of the people that influenced the Beatles.
@@vintageremasters8912 yeah
@@vintageremasters8912 he inspired many other artists and bands
Which made me wonder how Holly would've reacted to the Beatles had he not been killed by a plane crash
As awe-inspiring as Elvis was, there was something about Buddy that he was lacking. Elvis is like a fictional character, a superhero. But Buddy is like the cool guy you hope you could become yourself.
It was like Steven Van Zandt said about the Beatles and Stones. The Beatles were the superstars. The stones looked like normal guys. More relatable. He thought, ‘hey, I can do that.!’
John Lennon stated that if Buddy Holly lived longer he could have been the king of rock 'n' roll.
@@vintageremasters8912 Buddy wasn't as handsome as Elvis and he didn't have Elvis' charisma. But as a talent he was not inferior to Elvis, quite the contrary. Buddy wrote most of the songs he sang, Elvis didn't.
@@vintageremasters8912 nah man, Chuck Berry always
I agree with you totally. Look at Bill Haley. He was fat & married, but, like Buddy, he could be more inspiring to ordinary street musicians that couldn't do The Jailhouse Rock...
That drummer is criminally underrated. Excellent technique.
Jerry Allison is indeed very underrated.
Dude in those days everybody was great 👍 ❤️🌹💐🌷🌻💋
What's his rating?

Three Liverpool boys found connection in this
I wonder who
@@jaylynch674 Billy J Kramer, Rory Storm and Gerry Marsden 🙂
@@MostlyBrenda oh I was thinking The Beatles lol but there are 4 😂
@@jaylynch674 Well, at least we can be sure that the Beatles derived their name from "The Crickets". Ringo wasn't in the group until '62. so maybe 3 is right
Not too much difference between crickets and beetles.
This was a shortened version because they did "Peggy Sue" right after. Also, on the same show, was
Sam Cooke doing "You Send Me" and The Rays with "Silhouettes", not to mention Bobby Helms singing "My Special Angel". Not a bad Sunday evening.
Yes, it was a really good show! I think the Glenn Miller Orchestra was also on at the start (without Glenn, of course, since he had gone missing during WWII).
@@TomElvisSmith So I guess all that exists are the two Sullivans and the Arthur Murray Dance Party show? Ballroom dancers with Buddy!😃 They did some others like Bandstand and London Palladium, but I don't think any of those were saved. 😥
@@MostlyBrendaYes, that's right! Those are the only Holly TV appearances which are known to exist. The Dick Clark Beechnut Shows and American Bandstand appearances were lost long ago; I think Buddy was on them three times in total, and a lot of early British television was not saved, including that Palladium performance unfortunately.
Incidentally, I wish the Sullivan channel would upload Brenda's performance of "Fool #1" from a 1961 show, as well as the performance of "Serenade" by Jan Peerce on the same episode. I've been looking for that show since I found out about its existence many years ago.
@@TomElvisSmith For as much as he helped "Teen" music, Dick Clark was an unbelievable cheapskate. All lip-syncs and then he didn't save the tapes. The Kinescopes for the Beechnut show exist only because he did it in New York and ABC stored them, not DC Productions. Even in LA with the weekly show, there was no band, no color till late 60s and many shows are missing.
I was 12 years old and watching this on TV.
Without Buddy the Beatles would've remained a Liverpool skiffle band.
False

63 years later this still sounds fresh, rockin, and beautifully crafted. Holly's talent was immense. Sad he didn't live to see rock take off into the stratosphere in the 60's and witness how much he influenced the Beatles. Lennon mentioned how comforting to him it was to see a glasses wearing rock star as well
John was near-sighted in real life, and really did not wear glasses in public until around late 1966-early 1967. He wore the iconic "granny glasses" in the movie "How I Won the War" and that became his signature for the rest of his life. I loved what John said about Buddy and his glasses, it made Buddy more real and accessible to the public unlike Elvis, who was too perfect and not as accessible.
Buddy Holly, along with Little Richard and Chuck Berry helped to spearhead a movement where performers wrote their own songs - something virtually unheard of in popular music at that time.
It's unheard of in most popular music today too
One of the biggest tragedies in all of music is that Buddy Holly died a meagre 22 years old. It's still hard to wrap my head around what he achieved at such a young age.
He had many many recordings unreleased when he died. The record company released them for ten years.
RIP Buddy Holly. Gone 62 years ago today, 1959.
@Gazza Boo yes
The day the music died
I just watched the 1978 film “The Buddy Holly Story”. Gary Busey actually performed and he did GREAT! You could tell he was honored to play that role.
So unfair. What else was in Buddy’s brilliant mind?
63 years now
@@th3painter728 Yep. Still amazes me how Buddy Holly did more for rock and roll in just three short years than most guys do in their entire lives. And he was only 21 years old.
I've seen this Buddy Holly footage on Ed Sullivan so many times, along with "Oh Boy" and "Peggy Sue", and it never gets old, because this is a true classic performer. The influence of Buddy Holly on rock and roll music was immense, and he was fantastic! So many of these music performances are so short though, compared to the footage of comedians uploaded. It's a shame that you don't upload the entire sets performed by each singer on the shows you are excerpting from. They often perform 2 or 3 songs in a row, and shown in their entirety, the clips would equal those from the comedians, length-wise. Fans of the musicians would surely like to see the entire performances.
I agree. And speaking of influence: isn't it sad how much negativity and non-altruistic sentiment has become incorporated into today's "music"? Rage, blame, misanthropy, misogyny: these are the LAST sentiments we need to be hearing and communicating to younger generations. Surely there are more constructive and realistic avenues for addressing one's frustration with one's situation in life: graduate from high school ; go to work, or to college, or to trade school; be a non-judgmental and quiet neighbor, a productive employee or entrepreneur, and a good citizen. Accept that not everyone will become Emperor but everyone can be a good guy (gal). Teenage angst is kind of cute; vitriolic rage and offensive presentations are not acceptable in a civilized society.
@@wandahaiche8641 why is this one of the most meaningful comments I’ve ever seen. It really rings true. The true purpose of life is really lost these days. Everyone’s in constant competition to “be someone” but forgetting that we’re all someone, whatever walk of life we choose. Making music used to be something that musicians would do because it made them happy & they wanted to share it. That still happens but it feels the majority are in it for the fame & the money now (which is insane how much these days). Buddy Holly went on that final tour to provide for his wife and unborn child. Not simply to become a household name, owning loads of expensive cars and living in a couple of mansions that only the working class could dream of. I pray that soon the majority will find happiness in just simple living

"Buddy Holly was a poet - way ahead of his time.” “At least the first 40 songs we wrote were Buddy Holly-influenced.” “I play Buddy Holly every night before going onstage." - The Beatles
Imagine naming your kid after a Weezer song.
“I carried this child for 9 months, lemme name him after Weezer, that’ll get him all the chicks”
He gets no bitches
He was never considered the "King" of Rock n' Roll, but I tell you, without him none of the music that we called "Rock" nowadays would exist, period.
Buddy paved the way for these other artists. He was a legendary performer and great songwriter. He did all of that before the age of 22 is insane!
Buddy Holly s greatest hits will always be cherished and appreciated by all of his fans. 🎶🎶🎶🎶
He was integral to the Beatles. They saw him write and record his own songs and inspired them. Honestly, you can credit Buddy for the whole musical movement in England
would?
He is the rock.
I saw Buddy reform in 1958. He put on a great show and also talked to him, I will always remember his shy grin on his face. R.I. P. . ....
What did you guys talk about?
You’re so lucky… you are a part of history … I’d love to have been there. But I wasn’t born.. I hope you keep these stories and pass them along to your loved ones. 💕
Buddy Holly's brilliance was stolen from the World far too soon, but his influence on every recording artist ever since cannot be underestimated. His music was easily 30 to 40 years before it's time, and it's only fitting that his legacy will last many times that. If humanity still exists in five hundred years it's likely that his unique and original talent will be recognised as one of the greatest cultural gifts of the 20th century.
Every single one of was under 22. But none looked a day under 40.
We've now got phones that can do anything and everything imaginable, but the Fender Strat hasn't changed in 70 years.
Is that a bad thing?
@@hermeso9713 No, I think it's a good thing :)
If it ain't broke...!
It has but in ways that aren't strikingly obvious...no more nitro finishes (typically), the sunbursts are now 3 tone, 5 way selectors switches, rosewood fretboard became available (then changed from slab to veneer), 7.25" to 9.5" fretboard radius, no more ashtray bridge cover, etc.
But yes, to the general individual it will seem virtually unchanged...and for good reason, it was a great design especially for its time.
Interesting how there were no screaming girls.

😇👏🏻
Watching the film The Searchers and every time John Wayne said “that’ll be the day” I thought of Buddy and his brother seeing it in the movies on a Saturday afternoon and Buddy coming home and immediately writing the song.
Same film title was used by "The Searchers"...
RIP Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper
My other hero how you doing
Happy 84th Buddy... well... would have been! Thanks for the best music ever!
Everybody talks about how great Elvis was, but honestly I think Buddy Holly was just as amazing as him
I argee
Hello 👋 Brady,
How are you doing hope your having a wonderful holidays over there with you and your family
I believe Buddy's guitar skills have gone largely underappreciated. In this song he really puts on a great display. The intro is deceptively tricky then he does some great choppy rhythm playing with some power chords thrown in.
Is there footage of Buddy playing the Piano❓️🎹
The Ed Sullivan Show was a fixture in my parents home when I was a teenager. I was fortunate to witness history in the making, with Buddy on the show. I also saw him in the Winter Tour show in Milwaukee just days before he died.
Then that must mean you're 70 or pushing 80 years old right?
@@YG-rr6zv - good guess - I'll be 78 this summer.
How was the show?
Less than seven years later, the greatest students of Buddy Holly would grace the same stage - The Beatles
Having just learned how Buddy met his demise, this song takes on a new haunted feeling.
So sad he didn't survive to the Beatles.
"That'll be the day" came from a line in a John Wayne movie.
I never realized what an amazing guitarist Holly really was, the lead in to this song proves it. He was a MASTER.
I mean not to take anything away from the guy but I’d hardly say the three chords he plays to open a song as being guitar mastery. He’s still much better than me but what he’s playing in this instance isn’t considered very difficult
@@TJfromEarth True it is all very simple. I think what people mean is that he had a certain touch, call it verve or something. It was a feel that no one who has ever covered any of his songs has captured. Not even the Beatles, although Blind Faith does recreate the spirit of it with their version of Well Alright.
Buddy launches into his middle 8 solo (even if it was shortened) and the camera immediately switches to the guy strumming rhythm behind him!
it is the 65th anniversary of his death, 3/2/24
Buddy Holly said the song's title came from John Wayne's refrain of "That'll Be the Day" in the classic Western "The Searchers."
Crickets because they’re noisy lol
He contributed so much to music in such a short amount of time. Not a lot of people can say that. Will always be one of the people I look up to the most.
what was his contribution
40 something years later: Weeeeooo I look just like Buddy Holly
Great song by Buddy Holly and the Crickets. In June 1956, Holly, Allison and Sonny Curtis went to see the movie The Searchers, starring John Wayne, in which Wayne repeatedly used the phrase "that'll be the day". This line of dialogue inspired the young musicians.
Buddy holly made the beatles
Hi gorgeous how are you doing today hope you have a wonderful day and your family???
One of the early greats, and they still ROCK!
This changed everything for the music we have today.
Cause that'll be the day
