What blows my mind is the fact that Buddy was only 22 years old at the time of his death. One can only imagine the things he could have done if he hadn't died. He may be gone, but his music and influence on rock and roll will live on forever. Rest in Peace, Buddy.
His body was exhumed in 2007 an autopsy was conducted and was proven almost if not every bone in his body was broken. The coroner also said the body was in remarkable good condition. I didn’t see this on a u tube video but read it. My point of this is let the man rest in peace.
"... almost if not every bone in his body was broken. The coroner also said the body was in remarkable good condition" If I had almost, if not every bone in MY body broken - would I FEEL in a state of "remarkable good condition" ?
You are niave, tge weather was really bad. Inexperienced at flying in such conditions.I worked with a lady who was in college then and traveled from Mankato to that concert, the weather was really bad.
To this present day my Irish Uncle is still happy to talk about the night he went to see Buddy Holly and the Crickets in a concert hall in England back in 1958...He talks about the concert as if it was only yesterday.
No it’s some guy who is reading a script. He can’t even pronounce all of the names right. Must be some young guy that wasn’t around when Buddy Holly died.
I grew up in the 60s & 70s. Holly was nearly forgotten - or at least, ignored - when I was in my teens, until "The Buddy Holly Story" came out in '78. Back then, about the only Holly songs I'd heard were covers by James Taylor & Linda Ronstadt, and I didn't even know he was the one who wrote them. When I saw the movie, I was amazed to realize that I knew all the songs by heart. I was born in 1959, a few months after the plane crash. I imagine Holly's songs were playing constantly on the radio during those months. My mother was going through a breakup with my father while she was pregnant with me, and she loved music. (She played piano, herself.) I think she must've been playing Buddy Holly tunes during the last few months of her pregnancy with me, mourning the breakup with my dad, and I subconsciously learned those songs before I was even born. BTW, I ended up getting a music degree & spent my life as a professional musician. Coincidence? Maybe. Or maybe not. 😉
Actually, it was more likely that it was just that because he was not making records so you didn;t know abut him until you got older and started to actually know things.
I too grew up in the 60s and 70s and I knew about Buddy Holly, for me he was not forgotten, the DJs on Radio One and Capitol Radio played him often, fair to say not as often as the latest hits but he was always heard on the golden oldies. Being a then avid fan of music I fell in love with his song True Love Ways, to this day and even as I write this, it still brings me to tears. That poor young man having so much to look forward too, with amazing talent and sweetness in his music was robbed of a great incredible future by fate.
I was born on February 4th, 1959 the morning after the tragic accident, and delivered by the Doctor who 6 years earlier had attended Hank Williams at the Gulf Station in Oak Hill, West Virginia. Not the Fayette County Coroner butvthe attending Physician Dr. Thomas.
Buddy Holly was a breath of fresh air in his day, i love all his compositions. It was a very tragic end to a man who could have gone on to even greater fame. He was a regular guy, nothing fancy..... JUST THE MUSIC & THE GLASSES ..... his music will never die. May all who perished that terrible night in 1959 Rest in Peace.
Buddy Holly was such a huge influence on the music scene, and is and wiill be remembered for that. He brought joy to people. And great inspiration to many.
The most "shocking" thing was how many times per minute the same short sequence of pictures was reiterated in the video.....or maybe "cheezy" is a better word.
@@maplelafe7671 While Holly only produced 3 albums, he only had 3 years to do it in. He was dead just 3 years after he signed with Decca. Remember he died at age 22. Elvis was 42 when he died. In both cases, though, their music lives on. It is not the number of songs or albums, but the effect he had on the music industry during his lifetime AND posthumously.
Every time a musician demands to take control of the business aspects of their such as songwriting,publishing,controlling their masters,something tragically happens to them,same as it was with Sam Cooke,Otis Redding,the music industry is cut throat.
It didn’t happen with Ray Charles who was able to not only take charge of his own music but his masters something even Sinatra had not been able to accomplish as well as switching from blues to country western another first for a black singer musician which he did because it had so much soul and had many of the same subjects as R&B love and cheating drinking and bars and cheating on each other’s partners. While all his peers as well as the promoters said he was bound to fail in that venture he actually skyrocketed up the charts
@terrysmith1434. Music industry IS cutthroat. But Beattles succeeded with Apple after some struggle and I heard some upstart named Taylor Swift won her battle as well.
Nov 2024 now I remember listening to the radio that night around 8 pm “ doing my homework “ and the station broke the news. I immediately broke into big time tears. A very sad day and remember it to this day. I’m almost 79.
Only if you CHOOSE to be sad every time a celebrity dies...Me, I couldn't care less, bcuz I have FAITH in God, and my God-Self! That means I don't let external events control my emotions. I also beLIEve less than ZERO what the 'media' puts in front of us.
Buddy was so far ahead of his time and probably the biggest influence in future rock and roll artists. He recorded so many tracks in such a short period of time. What a great talented person.
Yes You are so right!! Just think of what he would of become. .and what he would of been today if he would of lived! Ritchie was also very talented as well!
What Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison and Paul Anka had in music was not only their musical talent in making great songs, but all three were composers for other singers/bands throughout the 50's, I believe had Buddy lived through the 60's he would have been a massive star like Elvis.
@jenniferwebster5226 I totally agree Jennifer. Had Buddy lived, I don't the English invasion in 1964 would have had such an impact. They seemed to fill the void that was created when Buddy passed away.
Waylon suffered a lot due to the off the cuff exchange between Buddy and himself. But many of us would have said the exact same thing joshing with a friend. Rest in Peace 🕊️ Buddy and Waylon 🙏🏼
As someone who is a family relative of Waylon Jennings, that I can more then confirm your comment about Waylon and how much it greatly effected him ,for years. Waylon came close to walking away from music ,it differently changed his whole life and everything inside him. Not a day, went by that Buddy wasn't with Waylon. They were very close not just as musicians, but kindred friends & Brothers. May they both R.I.P. We lost to Great Men, way to soon. Take care & my best to you and yours.❤❤🙏🙏
I believe Jennings gave up his seat to Valens due to Valens having a cold and the bus heater not working. As they left, I believe it was Holly who jokingly told Jennings, “i hope you freeze,” and Jennings supposedly came back with “I hope your plane crashes.” Not exactly something one ever gets over...
An 89 yr old friend of mine was not only involved with the band, he was called out to the crash site to I/D the bodies. He told me Buddy Holly's head was sliced off midway on the forehead all the way back and it was not released to the press. I seriously doubt he survived that.
Born Again "Christian"? Ya know, Jesus was the first Zombie! Died then rose from the grave! WoW! Yes, I know. He inspired a bunch of movies about them. Buddy will never be forgotten.
That's your clue this entire script was written by AI, and not just voiced over by one as in previous years. I'm guessing the AI that wrote this script read later on in the wiki article it was summerizing that Buddy Holly was "born again" as in evangelical Christianity. Being a stochastic parrot, it doesn't know how weird it sounds to refer to someone biological birth as "born the first time," or likely is even unable to contexually comprehend that being "born again" is spiritual euphamism, and not a literal thing. Stupid computer really thinks that Holly fell out of two different holes. The only thing more dumb than AI are the people who are in awed reverence of it as anything but a glorified autocomplete which still have limitation that are obvious to anyone with a half a brain.

People do stupid things. They always will. Pilot should have never taken off. Patsy Cline, pretty much the same situation - in a hurry to get somewhere and never arrived
Both Buddy and Ritchie had eviscerated skulls in the plane crash. Neither man has been exhumed. J.P. Richardson, “The Big Bopper”, was exhumed and his remains x-rayed. This showed almost every bone in his body broken multiply.
what shocked me the most was discovering that Buddy was self-governing. Born just 20 days after his death to a father and mother i now know were drawn to his music, i see a glimpse of the spirit that drove my mother. i lost my mother to cancer in 1973. To learn that Buddy was so much like her, i can see why my mother was drawn to Buddy and others that expressed themself with confidence. To take a stand today against the atrocities perpetrated against mankind with the execution of Agenda 21 leads me to ask where or what directed me to my path. We all have our mentors. Who was my mother's mentor? true and vulnerable self-governance today is very rare. I feel so very grateful to learn that Buddy is so unique... if one feels the connection, Buddy's spirit lives on in us.
Being a Texan myself . Buddy holly was one of my rock and roll heroes .I was born the year that buddy holly died .I'm 64 now discovered his music in the 60s I'm just a 100 miles from Lubbock.. he was one of the best .I'm also a big bobby Fuller fan who was from El Paso Texas who also died in his 20s
His poor wife whom not only faced the grief of the death of her husband in a plane crash, suffers the additional heartbreak and loss of their child the next day. It is tragically as if she lost him twice. The child would have been a comfort and a part of Buddy with her.
@@NoodlesEaton She just suffered the loss of her husband and the loss of her child due to the shock of the tragedy during pregnancy. She was physically unable to attend.
@@NoodlesEatonNot only was she in mourning over her husband, but she had just suffered a miscarriage as well. She was in no condition to, physically or mentally, attend his funeral.
@@richardschulke2530 If anyone was piloting it should have been Dwyer, not Roger Peterson, who wasn't rated to fly by instruments. He flew that plane into the ground. Everyone died instantly and their injuries were severe.
My God, u would think the pilot himself would have known better than to attempt that flight, and, u would think that Holly and the others would have checked on this pilots abilities. Of course I understand why one would want to avoid that bus.
Buddy Holly invented pop music as we know it today and was the single greatest influence on its most famous exponents, the Beatles. Not bad, not bad at all.
...Buddy used a Fender Stratocaster; not a Fender Telecaster as portrayed in the movie. I am aware that there will be folk out there who don't care, but believe me: it matters. 🙂
Wow Buddy Holly and ELVIS on the same program and at a reasonable price too, what a fantastic line up.... The young pilot didn't know how to read the instruments needed to fly in those conditions and still took off, similarly Eddie Cochran was killed by a reckless taxi driver in London, England.
The PHRASE IS = "The Day The Music Died !" ....... The plane they were using to hop from show to show on a Northern states tour WAS NOT IN TOP CONDITION, WEATHER WAS BAD & The Pilot was indeed questionable as well. Sad !
His performance at the Apollo Club was ignored. He was booked because they thought he was black. The depiction of this in the movie was brilliant. Awesome musician.
@@ericdickerson7656 I thought the depiction left a lot to be desired - not once did they play a recording of any song they mentioned. They didn’t have to play the whole performance; 20-30 seconds of several of them may have been enough. We saw a number of the same shot.
@froglady7491 I agree they could have done more music. I was impressed with the image of a white boy playing and being accepted by a black audience. At that time, a number of white performers were taking music first performed by blacks. Tough to show that.
Jennings didn't go to Holly's funeral, due to the fact it was suppose to be him who died in the crash. His tour date had nothing to due with him not going, considering he could have flown from location to location and not missed any shows.
Buddy Holly no doubt would have gone into record productions ........... He was first RnR Singer to use Violins ....... Way ahead of his Time. As it was Crickets who had No.1 That will be The Day. Strange Buddy never had a No.1 until after his Death strangely Titled "" It does Not Matter Anymore""
Well. I wrote music in the industry. The ones who wrote the music are not the touring musicians. The touring musicians are not on the album. Studio recordings are mostly done in home studios now. Sometimes by just one person. When I found a way to make my voice sound different and change the person behind the vocal I found a new sense of purpose in recording the entire thing. The entire thing which means everyone in the industry is just one person.
Norman Petty provided the technical expertise that made his records sound so good. His acts as manager hurt Holley financially and forced Holley to go on the winter tour.
Well their were two other managers also in the Entertainment world! Tom Parker with Elvis. .and Believe it or not. Greg McDonald was Rick Nelsons Manager! Parker taught Greg how to swindle Ricks Money!!! Thats what I read in the Rick Nelson files!!!! and not only the file alsoit said that Greg had lived with Tom before he met Rick!! So go figure!!
3:33 “Holley became acquainted with Bob Montgomery while SHE was attending Roscoe Wilson elementary school….” Since when was songwriter BOB Montgomery a SHE???
He was so influential, especially with the British because he was "normal" looking, not handsome like Elvis... I have heard several of the famous band members from the various iconic British bands talk about how much Buddy influenced them. Seeing someone who was like them succeed through the quality of their music instead of their looks and movements (ala Presley) gave them the will to push on with their music. Rock music owes him a great debt of gratitude...
@@r.a.contreras174And he never forgot. There was an interview I watched where Waylon was discussing it. You can tell the whole thing upset him greatly at the time.
Tommy Allsup was the guy with the coin toss. I saw him several times at the Winter Dance Party in Clear Lake, Iowa, held in the Surf Ballroom. Tommy wrote a book about the coin toss. Jennings was the one who responded to Buddy saying “hope you freeze on that bus” by quipping “hope your plane crashes”.
@@maggiegarber246 Thank you for clarifying that, Maggie. It was Tommy Alsup, not Waylon, who did flip a coin with Ritchie. Ritchie won, and the rest is history.
When I hear the name “Buddy Holly”, I picture Gary Busey. I’m going have to watch the movie again. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, and it’s a very good movie.
R they trying to say the holly is still alive ?😢 Buddy , was killed , his chest was crushed , his ears was bleeding out , his brain matter was .....No brains , his brains leaked out . I have heard about buddy's autopsy, really graphic . R.I.P. Buddy
I live just outside the Clear Lake/Mason City, Iowa and there are 4 deaths in the corn field. Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, JP Richardson, and the pilot whose body was still in the cockpit of the plane, Three bodies on the ground. They were all id’ed as the singers.
I was only ten when he passed away. I had forgotten about the fortune teller. That as I remember was quite controversial. That year of fifty nine seen a lot of artists die...
This event scarred the nation and sent shockwaves thru the entertainment community. It also inspired Don Maclean to write one of the most valuable pieces of American Rock'n'Roll music ever recorded and endlessly covered and replayed to this very day ! (" American Pie " to you uncultured ...lol)😊
He's alive, fully alive each time I hear him and he takes me on a time trip to an age when a kid could control a radio and parents were his fans and taught us how to play records . . . Very high tech stuff of the day.
Nothing shocked me I heard it all b4 I was born 59 ,just when the crash happened and grew up inside RnR buddy songs ment so much and to really understand if you had any single of buddy or the crickets was treasurable so hard to find,I remember searching buy a few in Nelfast Smithfield market for 15p each, and my first memory is going into old war and want shop with my mother she got an ep of buddy blue days black nights modren don jaun was on it ting a lling thats my desire,My older sister was so happy to get the single played on the dansette major the memory is fantastic, big bobber,richtie all the tunes,so young ,so Talented 0:01
Born -61 and got Elvis into my soul by my young mom, and was never exposed to Hollys music more than Peggy and some more. However his tragic short life and sudden death was a fascinating story. Sceptic to these kind of ”still alive”-stories. Elvis was seen even here in Sweden where he never visited… Feel sorry for every young person who dies celebrities or not. What could have been if not..?
This is like the thing about JFK being alive and living at the Parkland Hospital in Dallas because they closed the floor he supposedly died on, him Elvis playing cards probably with Jimmy Hoffa.
IT WAS MERELY TO SHOW HOW INFLUENTIAL BUDDY WAS TO THOSE THAT FOLLOWED ... I WAS IN AN EARLY ROCK AND ROLL GROUP IN THE UK, AND COPIED MANY OF HIS SONGS - HE WAS WELL LOVED OVER HERE .... STILL IS .... ( SORRY FOR SHOUTING - BLOODY CAP LOCKS).
If Holly had not died in the crash, he'd have been swallowed by the British Invasion. He'd be largely forgotten today; a short and simple footnote in the annals of music. His death is what made him famous.
I don’t know how it works in America but air traffic control is only a service in the UK and they can only advise you not to take off due to bad weather, they can’t tell you not to take off. If the weather is that bad then in the UK most of our control towers are closed.
Richie , Buddy was just starting to entertain us and big Bopper would've been what we call a 1 hit wonder but we still hear his song and Buddy & Richie both have music that has led others to make music or just enjoy their sound but they have movies about their short life's which shows how the impacted the music world.
You know I've dreamed of meeting Buddy Holly and Elvis and some other celebrities that faked their death. .. this video is going to be very interesting. In my dreams I kept their secret.
I have read she was a fractious type. So it wouldn't surprise me. Maybe when's she's gone we might learn more. she's definitely shown she's the greedy type, too, as we've seen . Buddy would turn in his grave. Incidentally which she's NEVER visited.
A habit l have developed is reading the comments before l watch the vid.
The comments are so much more informative ...
I should’ve done this … bc the video didn’t show what the title said smh ugh 🙄
Yeah me too... Usually I get more out of the comments than the video.
I do also
That's what I tell people.
I wish you could read the comments before you click on it. It would save time and I could avoid giving this sh...er...stuff a click.
Figures of speech matter. It's never been called "The Death Day of Music." It's been called "The Day The Music Died". Large difference.
These wastes of skin and oxygen need to stop phoning-in halfassed excuses for content.
Something got lost in the translation.
Yeah I never heard it put that way.
They’ll never be the death of music
Definitely.
What blows my mind is the fact that Buddy was only 22 years old at the time of his death. One can only imagine the things he could have done if he hadn't died. He may be gone, but his music and influence on rock and roll will live on forever. Rest in Peace, Buddy.
look at other singers, they get a few songs, and sing them over and over......is there any indication that this one would have been different...

What shocked me most is that Hollys brother never reveals anything.
They should have never been allowed to fly that plane in a blizzard.. Nothing is that important.
People do stupid things. They always will. Pilot should have never taken off. Patsy Cline, pretty much the same situation - in a hurry to get somewhere and never arrived
Both Buddy and Ritchie had eviscerated skulls in the plane crash. Neither man has been exhumed. J.P. Richardson, “The Big Bopper”, was exhumed and his remains x-rayed. This showed almost every bone in his body broken multiply.
Buddy wasgoodstar 4:38
what shocked me the most was discovering that Buddy was self-governing. Born just 20 days after his death to a father and mother i now know were drawn to his music, i see a glimpse of the spirit that drove my mother. i lost my mother to cancer in 1973. To learn that Buddy was so much like her, i can see why my mother was drawn to Buddy and others that expressed themself with confidence. To take a stand today against the atrocities perpetrated against mankind with the execution of Agenda 21 leads me to ask where or what directed me to my path. We all have our mentors. Who was my mother's mentor? true and vulnerable self-governance today is very rare. I feel so very grateful to learn that Buddy is so unique... if one feels the connection, Buddy's spirit lives on in us.
Being a Texan myself . Buddy holly was one of my rock and roll heroes .I was born the year that buddy holly died .I'm 64 now discovered his music in the 60s I'm just a 100 miles from Lubbock.. he was one of the best .I'm also a big bobby Fuller fan who was from El Paso Texas who also died in his 20s
Yup! Fuller was knocked off too! Being a 'celebrity'= a VERY short life-span!
I’m 74 and well remember Buddy Holly when I was growing up.
I live in Lubbock
@@susanpuckett6163 well hello Susan from Lubbock. Nice to meet a fellow texan
Hi from Lubbock! The city hated him then and pretends to love him now. But he will always be one of my loves.
He lives through his music.
He revolutionised music, in the western world. Not just the USA. He was regonised more in the UK than the USA. Fact❤
The world is a stage and each must play their part!
Are you lonesome tonight?
16:15 Sad and somber. A long sigh of regret. But at the end: No goodbyes, No sorrows,No worries just good wonderful tearful happy memories.
God bless you Buddy. Your Songs will live for ever.
His poor wife whom not only faced the grief of the death of her husband in a plane crash, suffers the additional heartbreak and loss of their child the next day. It is tragically as if she lost him twice.
The child would have been a comfort and a part of Buddy with her.
I met Maria Elania Holly and have her Autograph!
Did not know that....
Maria Elena did not go to his funeral. I am not sure why.
@@NoodlesEaton She just suffered the loss of her husband and the loss of her child due to the shock of the tragedy during pregnancy. She was physically unable to attend.
@@NoodlesEatonNot only was she in mourning over her husband, but she had just suffered a miscarriage as well. She was in no condition to, physically or mentally, attend his funeral.
I knew the pilot on the plane that went down with Holly and the others. He was pretty young. Those kids should never have flown that awful night.
Was not trained in flying by instruments only, in very bad weather with little or no visibility - as it was that night.
@@EnlightenedPatriot1 Same thing with JFK jr Kitty Wells -inexpeienced with compulsion to get somewhere.
@@richardschulke2530 If anyone was piloting it should have been Dwyer, not Roger Peterson, who wasn't rated to fly by instruments. He flew that plane into the ground. Everyone died instantly and their injuries were severe.
No I agree with you! But when your desperate under the circumstances. You make rash decisions! Its so sad this one wasn't good!
My God, u would think the pilot himself would have known better than to attempt that flight, and, u would think that Holly and the others would have checked on this pilots abilities. Of course I understand why one would want to avoid that bus.
Buddy Holly invented pop music as we know it today and was the single greatest influence on its most famous exponents, the Beatles.
Not bad, not bad at all.
@AlWorth9738 Lol, he played a big part in it. Along with Elvis, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Fats Domino and Little Richard.
When the levee breaks was written in the 20s.. Music was arounď way b4 BH
Beatles were more into little Richard, Elvis, jerry Lee louis etc . The Stones were more into buddy.
...Buddy used a Fender Stratocaster; not a Fender Telecaster as portrayed in the movie. I am aware that there will be folk out there who don't care, but believe me: it matters. 🙂
Buddy's father was in the flooring industry, specifically tile.
Wow Buddy Holly and ELVIS on the same program and at a reasonable price too, what a fantastic line up.... The young pilot didn't know how to read the instruments needed to fly in those conditions and still took off, similarly Eddie Cochran was killed by a reckless taxi driver in London, England.
@roberttreborable
Chippenham, Wiltshire,...many miles from London.
The PHRASE IS = "The Day The Music Died !" ....... The plane they were using to hop from show to show on a Northern states tour WAS NOT IN TOP CONDITION, WEATHER WAS BAD & The Pilot was indeed questionable as well. Sad !
The pilot was not IFR certified. He should never have taken off.
American Pie
15:05 “As soon as Santiago heard the news of Holleys death, HE turned on the television”. Santiago was Holley’s WIFE.
His performance at the Apollo Club was ignored. He was booked because they thought he was black. The depiction of this in the movie was brilliant. Awesome musician.
@@ericdickerson7656 I thought the depiction left a lot to be desired - not once did they play a recording of any song they mentioned. They didn’t have to play the whole performance; 20-30 seconds of several of them may have been enough. We saw a number of the same shot.
@froglady7491 I agree they could have done more music. I was impressed with the image of a white boy playing and being accepted by a black audience. At that time, a number of white performers were taking music first performed by blacks. Tough to show that.
Jennings didn't go to Holly's funeral, due to the fact it was suppose to be him who died in the crash. His tour date had nothing to due with him not going, considering he could have flown from location to location and not missed any shows.
He probably didn't want to fly.
Paul McCartney’s MPL Music owns the music publishing to Buddy’s major hits.
Buddy Holly no doubt would have gone into record productions ........... He was first RnR Singer to use Violins ....... Way ahead of his Time. As it was Crickets who had No.1 That will be The Day. Strange Buddy never had a No.1 until after his Death strangely Titled "" It does Not Matter Anymore""
The Day The Music Died.
This man did more in his 18 months of fame than most do in their whole lives. It’s like he knew he had limited time on this planet.
Well. I wrote music in the industry. The ones who wrote the music are not the touring musicians. The touring musicians are not on the album. Studio recordings are mostly done in home studios now. Sometimes by just one person. When I found a way to make my voice sound different and change the person behind the vocal I found a new sense of purpose in recording the entire thing. The entire thing which means everyone in the industry is just one person.
Who cares what you did. How does this relate to Buddy Holly? It doesn't.
Norman Petty provided the technical expertise that made his records sound so good. His acts as manager hurt Holley financially and forced Holley to go on the winter tour.
Well their were two other managers also in the Entertainment world! Tom Parker with Elvis. .and Believe it or not. Greg McDonald was Rick Nelsons Manager! Parker taught Greg how to swindle Ricks Money!!! Thats what I read in the Rick Nelson files!!!! and not only the file alsoit said that Greg had lived with Tom before he met Rick!! So go figure!!
And #RickyNelson died in a plane crash as did #JohnDenver and #PATSYCLINE and #ORTISREDDING, #LYNYRDSKYNYRD and #JIMCROCE and #STEVIERAYVAUGHN,
@@MrmelodyUs SRV died in a helicopter crash with Bill Graham.
Plot twist...... Buddy Holly became Donnie Iris
Ah Leah, Here we go again...................
@@longhair-dontcare9983 You got it!!
3:33 “Holley became acquainted with Bob Montgomery while SHE was attending Roscoe Wilson elementary school….” Since when was songwriter BOB Montgomery a SHE???
Sad how they get up that ladder and tragedy strikes
To Moorhead, Mn, via Fargo, ND? Who planned thst route?
He was so influential, especially with the British because he was "normal" looking, not handsome like Elvis... I have heard several of the famous band members from the various iconic British bands talk about how much Buddy influenced them. Seeing someone who was like them succeed through the quality of their music instead of their looks and movements (ala Presley) gave them the will to push on with their music. Rock music owes him a great debt of gratitude...
As a brit I can honestly say that you are talking shite
@@jacquelineflower9077 ruclips.net/video/Rz-oiSZAZuA/видео.html
He was gorgeous!
I was almost 9 when Buddy died. I lived 40 mi south of Lubbock. Don’t remember hearing a thing about it! I remember the music though!
Jennings was the one that lost the coin toss .
But he didn't lose his life.
@@r.a.contreras174And he never forgot. There was an interview I watched where Waylon was discussing it. You can tell the whole thing upset him greatly at the time.
Tommy Allsup was the guy with the coin toss. I saw him several times at the Winter Dance Party in Clear Lake, Iowa, held in the Surf Ballroom. Tommy wrote a book about the coin toss. Jennings was the one who responded to Buddy saying “hope you freeze on that bus” by quipping “hope your plane crashes”.
@@maggiegarber246 Thank you for clarifying that, Maggie. It was Tommy Alsup, not Waylon, who did flip a coin with Ritchie. Ritchie won, and the rest is history.
There is a lot footage here of Gary Busey.
Yes, we know, but others may not.
Yeah, oops!🤣
When I hear the name “Buddy Holly”, I picture Gary Busey. I’m going have to watch the movie again. It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, and it’s a very good movie.
Yes, I was about to say!
@@brandsourceman
What does that mean?
R they trying to say the holly is still alive ?😢
Buddy , was killed , his chest was crushed , his ears was bleeding out , his brain matter was .....No brains , his brains leaked out .
I have heard about buddy's autopsy, really graphic .
R.I.P. Buddy
11:17 Holley subtly throwing the Baphomet sign
I live just outside the Clear Lake/Mason City, Iowa and there are 4 deaths in the corn field. Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, JP Richardson, and the pilot whose body was still in the cockpit of the plane, Three bodies on the ground. They were all id’ed as the singers.
His music will live forever.
Look at all of the gorgeous vintage instruments and amps ❤
I was only ten when he passed away. I had forgotten about the fortune teller. That as I remember was quite controversial. That year of fifty nine seen a lot of artists die...
Why include clips from the movie of his life story. They were just an actor.
Filler for a poorly made video.
I stopped watching when those clips appeared, without even a caption.
This event scarred the nation and sent shockwaves thru the entertainment community. It also inspired Don Maclean to write one of the most valuable pieces of American Rock'n'Roll music ever recorded and endlessly covered and replayed to this very day ! (" American Pie " to you uncultured ...lol)😊
He's alive, fully alive each time I hear him and he takes me on a time trip to an age when a kid could control a radio and parents were his fans and taught us how to play records . . . Very high tech stuff of the day.
'Humerous reasons' Yeh I laughed my arse off!!
I remember him and I have one of his albums. I really miss him. And the big Bopper too
I have alot in common with Buddy. I was also born for the first time
LOL I love when people ask me 'when is your birthday' and I say the date and then they ask, 'what year?' My response is "Every year".
Now there's a new Buddy Holley center.
Nothing shocked me I heard it all b4 I was born 59 ,just when the crash happened and grew up inside RnR buddy songs ment so much and to really understand if you had any single of buddy or the crickets was treasurable so hard to find,I remember searching buy a few in Nelfast Smithfield market for 15p each, and my first memory is going into old war and want shop with my mother she got an ep of buddy blue days black nights modren don jaun was on it ting a lling thats my desire,My older sister was so happy to get the single played on the dansette major the memory is fantastic, big bobber,richtie all the tunes,so young ,so Talented 0:01
I thought Gary Busey played a great Buddy Holly! 🙏
The Big Bopper not Bobber.
I live in Lubbock TX....this is AI..."he was born for the First time in Lubbock "😅😅😅😅
@@denicesanders4586it's very obviously AI...
"He was born the first time in Lubbock TX "😅😅😅
My favorite song of Buddy Holly was Peggy Sue rest in peace Buddy Holly😢❤
Mine too...loved that song!
Born -61 and got Elvis into my soul by my young mom, and was never exposed to Hollys music more than Peggy and some more. However his tragic short life and sudden death was a fascinating story. Sceptic to these kind of ”still alive”-stories. Elvis was seen even here in Sweden where he never visited…
Feel sorry for every young person who dies celebrities or not. What could have been if not..?
Waldorf.
Check out Pastor Bob Joyce. I have his albums. The music is special and has a special sound. I like his sermons.
I’m sorry but I stopped it after he said The death day of music. Omg.
I think there were more clips in this YT video of Gary Busey from “the Buddy Holly Story” than actual clips of Buddy Holly.
Peggy Sue eas originally 'Cindy Lou' written for his niece, renamed after after Jerry Allison requested.
Correction: Take control of the business aspects of their CAREER.
“Buddy Holly was born for the first time “ 😮🤣
I saw Gary Bussey the other day he's still alive ?
This is like the thing about JFK being alive and living at the Parkland Hospital in Dallas because they closed the floor he supposedly died on, him Elvis playing cards probably with Jimmy Hoffa.
Cynicism and humour at its best
The cuts to photos of the Beatles were so wrong, and why? They weren't know yet and called themselves The Beatles as a off take of The Crickets.
IT WAS MERELY TO SHOW HOW INFLUENTIAL BUDDY WAS TO THOSE THAT FOLLOWED ... I WAS IN AN EARLY ROCK AND ROLL GROUP IN THE UK, AND COPIED MANY OF HIS SONGS - HE WAS WELL LOVED OVER HERE .... STILL IS .... ( SORRY FOR SHOUTING - BLOODY CAP LOCKS).
@@bluesybruce I know.
If Holly had not died in the crash, he'd have been swallowed by the British Invasion. He'd be largely forgotten today; a short and simple footnote in the annals of music. His death is what made him famous.
Very interesting 🎸🎤🎶👍
What shocked me the most was how was the plane allowed to takevof in such terrible weather and pilot who was so inexperienced. It was murder
That's not the definition of murder in ANY country
I don’t know how it works in America but air traffic control is only a service in the UK and they can only advise you not to take off due to bad weather, they can’t tell you not to take off. If the weather is that bad then in the UK most of our control towers are closed.
My ex wife from Florida was born on the day the music died. About 645 pm.
Buddy Holly will forever be the greatest ever. My opinion. Love everything he did.
I bet his glasses are still out in that corn field in Iowa???
I believe someone had found them at one point and his wife got them
They're on display at the Buddy Holly Center in Lubbock.@@BillKeechPiperRacingPhotog
Richie , Buddy was just starting to entertain us and big Bopper would've been what we call a 1 hit wonder but we still hear his song and Buddy & Richie both have music that has led others to make music or just enjoy their sound but they have movies about their short life's which shows how the impacted the music world.
You know I've dreamed of meeting Buddy Holly and Elvis and some other celebrities that faked their death. .. this video is going to be very interesting. In my dreams I kept their secret.
When Santiago heard of the death of Holley, "He" turned on the television.
You saying she was a man?
@@beesilverbee Then quit using it.
this is 1 way you can tell this is ai generated click bait. also, the trick/gotcha re. the "never died" angle which his brother never owns
My surprise is that Buddy and Marie Elaina were having problems.
I have read she was a fractious type. So it wouldn't surprise me. Maybe when's she's gone we might learn more.
she's definitely shown she's the greedy type, too, as we've seen . Buddy would turn in his grave. Incidentally which she's NEVER visited.
Sadly, Buddy, Jerry, Joe B, are all gone from earth now. ❤
Okay i missed the brother coming out with new infomation .
Buddy Holly Was A Very Person, With A Very Unique Gift.!
He was good. Only one had the stage presence, charisma, voice and looks. Rest easy Buddy, Ritchie, Big Bobber and Elvis Presley.
My mother was 19 at the time she was at that concert.
Great o hear that about your mother.
Loved his songs!
So what's the dark truth? You didn't mention how Norman Petty recorded Buddy's early songs and screwed him out of thousands of dollars.
You really need to get a speaker who know how to pronounce the names of the people who died that day. (Ritchie Valens) They all mattered to someone!
