What he accomplished in such a short time was amazing. Incredible talent and we still are listening today. Thanks Fil.
Fil, love listening to your commentary on all the musicians you cover. Ironic that I just drove thru Clear Lake Iowa 4 hours ago and passed by the Buddy Holly crash site. Buddy was a very talented musician and songwriter. Thnx keep rocking Fil..🎸🎼
Buddy Holly will always be missed due to the promise of his musical career and his personal life, and the stunningly unexpected tragedy that sometimes can be felt from time to time through his music. He's still great. Good analysis Fil.🤘
Now this is going to sound odd. I am 24 years old and people will tell me that I am 'Too young to know who Buddy Holly is or was' no one is too young to know what great music is. My grandfather played this at his place one afternoon and he told me a lot about Buddy. I actually listened to his music and did a lot of reading about him when I was 13 and 14. I am happy to know who he was and what a great legacy in music he left behind.
Glad to read that you have an open mind to listen to an old master. The Beatles are my personal favorite, but there's a VERY LONG list of AMAZING musical artists from the 1960s. I think Chuck Berry is someone that everyone should listen to. He was SO FAR ahead of his time. His song, Teenage Wedding is FUN AND really unusual, but there are just SO MANY other WONDERFUL songs for you to discover!!

Chuck Berry was one of the best Rock Stars of his or any other generation. I wish music teachers played his music for students and gave them homework. What would it be? A paper on everything they learned about Chuck Berry.
Short answer, your never to young to appreciate good music. I wasnt alive back then but i would never let any one say im not a fan of Buddy.
Ricky Nelson lived on for me to know about, and hes probably the only guy thats up there with Buddy for me personaly.
Just because i was alive when Ricky lived i would never talk down to a younger fan, i would encurage to listen more instead because these old songs still deserves to be heard, as well as newer good music. Good music is good music and age is just the fortune to experience an artist live at the time, wich most never do anyways.
Glad to see young people today can appriciat the good old stuff. I am 69 years old and grew up with all these amazing artists. A bit concerned for the generations comming up as i don,t think todays music will stand the test of time.

Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard are the last men standing. They outlasted every great musical artist that passed away. From Elvis Presley to Chris Cornell.
As you know Fil, my friend is Keith Allison, cousin of Jerry Allison who was in the Crickets. That Winter Dance Party was so badly put together like you just said. It is so sad how that all went. All these people needlessly died. And they were kids pretty much.
Hi Fil! Now we are going back to my childhood! I was eleven when this was out, but I sure remember Buddy Holly! Elvis, and Buddy were probably my first two musician memories! He was so popular....I can still see the morning paper headlines when he was killed...I was thirteen, and it really affected me! Love his music! That was when they actually had to know how to sing...no auto tune! ✌️
There was only one Buddy Holley. We were lucky enough to have had him for a brief while.
If we learn anything from Fil's analysis of the greats, is getting the record deal rarely ends up in the band's favor. Great analysis Fil, Jeff in LA USA
Buddy Holly was a little before my time, but I heard about him and some of his songs from a young age. I also knew that Ritchie Valens grew up only a few miles from where I did. I love the detail you brought to Buddy's story in this analysis, Fil. What an influence he had on so many great artists, and what a loss to the music world.
"La Bamba" was one of two movies that literally made me cry.
Sir Fil! Many thanks for covering Buddy and the boys. Elvis may have been king, but Buddy was the great teacher of rock and roll, showing us how to put a band together, and write our own material. Your videos are insightful, showing a whole new generation of fans the roots of r&r. A pleasure during these turbulent times. Rock on, sire!
It's a shame Buddy Holly passed away so soon in his career; we can only guess what he could have achieved as an artist and songwriter throughout the 1960's and beyond had he lived longer. I can easily imagine he would have been part of the Traveling Wilburys super group along side Orbison, Petty, Harrison, Lynne and Dylan.
Agreed!
Rook Master that’s true, sad he died so young and Richie Valens too. Patsy Cline died young too.
He passed away. Yes. But his death lead to smart people not flying in snow storms in a homebuilt airplanes
Well put .
Rook Master interesting thought. He was planning on opening his own record company. He had secured the land back in Lubbock for his recording studio. The label was to be called Prism.
Hi Fil, how are you doing ? Favorite song of Buddy and the Crickets was " True Love Ways " !
Charles Green amazing song
Recorded at Pythian Temple recording studio, West 71st Street, New York City, October 1958. Backed by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra, Buddy nailed the song in one take! He also recorded 'Raining In My Heart' in the same session.
Never say no to panda
I had seen you review this before but I had to watch again because there is so much interesting info about Buddy. Gone but never forgotten! Love The Beatles, Stones & Clapton so thank you Buddy!🤘
Fun bit of trivia - Buddy had seen the movie "The Searchers" in which John Wayne scoffed a number of times "that'll be the day". From that seed implanted in Buddy's mind, this song was born. BTW Fil, in the States, we pronounce it "thaddle".
Interesting how these songs come about. John Lennon would stay up all hours of the night watching TV preachers, which were the only thing on in the middle of the night in the 1970s. Pre-cable days. He was watching Rev. Ike screaming out some sermon and Ike yelled out- "Whatever gets you through the night!"
Haha yes spoken and sung are definitely different!
@@wingsofpegasus Yes! Usually. Bands like the Bealtes you can sure tell they ain't 'Meurkin.
Some of us pronounce it "thaddle". Others don't.
@@bob_._. U2- Thaddle and Hum
Love Buddy's music so timeless and to echo many comments here so sad Buddy Holly passed away so young at the beginning of rock n roll, another great analyses Fil.
Love Buddy Holly’s music!! Thanks Fil.
The amazing Buddy Holly......sheer brilliance! I still have some of his 45s my mum gave me many years ago! So far ahead of his time...one could only imagine how much more he could’ve achieved! Sad loss! Thanks Fil! Cheers Mario! 🤘👌
Thank you Fil, was web surfing and ran across this review, great review, as an old man now, ( back in 1957, i was only 5-6 yrs old), Buddy was a beautiful song writer and artist, THANK YOU !!!
Reading up on Buddy is impressive. A killer song writer and shredder of his time.
I was 13 years old when he came on the scene. To this day I still love him and his music. Thank you, Fil for always sharing the history. Ritchie Valens lived down the street from me. He was very shy but would hang out with us.
Paul McCartney said they couldn’t wait to see Buddy live. They wanted to see how he played the solo in Peggy Sue.
I learned the solo from watching Sonny Curtis in The Real Buddy Holly Story. Every time I go to a guitar store, I play that solo. Everyone stops to check it out. Probably my all time favorite solo. 👍
Now that's history! And speaking of history, I happened across Goldfinger, playing on BBC America, earlier tonight. I caught Sean Connery saying the line, "...that's like listening to the Beatles without ear muffs". That was 1964, and it reminded me that in those days, the greatest rock band of all time was seen by most adults as just a loud kids' band.
I remember when this song was topping the charts. The late 50,s and 60,s were the greatest time ever for music. The talent was overwhelming and just kept coming. It left an amazing musical legacy. Thanks Fil.
I'm a big hard rock/metal guy and am just getting into Buddy Holly. His rhythm guitar playing is super tight and energetic. You can't help but enjoy watching this guy play
Happy Easter!!!! I missed the live stream again!!!! I have to remember Saturday! Buddy Holly is a legend. I don’t know where I would be without music. I pray I never lose my hearing. Great analysis as always! Very interesting.I saw “Sound City” documentary and it just blew my mind!!! Such sadness the day the music died.
My dad will be 90 years old, this year. He told me many years ago that he remembered Buddy Holly. I do have Buddy Holly's music in my collection. Waylon Jennings was actually Buddy Holly's bass player. Thanks for another great analysis video. Happy Easter. Cheers, Fil!
Happy Easter!
I remember seeing VH1s "Behind the Music: The Day the Music Died." Waylon Jennings was interviewed and mentioned about having some type of argument with someone--I think Buddy--when they were about to leave. It ended with Waylon saying, "I hope your plane crashes." Though I'm sure he hadn't mean to say that--like it was in the heat of the moment--I was convinced that Waylon was remorseful about what he'd said.
GlamGal 710 actually Waylon gave up his seat to the Big Bopper who was feeling under the weather
Fil, I LOVE your respect for the old classics. You went WAY BACK for this, and that's great!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, a little early perhaps?!! ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND, STAY SAFE!!💟🥳
Thanks!
What can one say? He was a true legend in his own short lifetime .
Thank you so much Phil,you are so interesting.A veritable wealth of info..loved it.Loved Buddy Holly
Such great music, such interesting and in-depth background information... thank you.
Excellent research and explanation of all the crazy and sad things that caused the disaster surrounding Buddy Holly! Great job, Fil! At the Cricket's induction to the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame Keith Richardson remarked without The Crickets there may have not been The Beatlss or Rolling Stones bands!
I found him as a kid watching The Buddy Holly Story. Thanks Fil, great vid.
Buddy Holly's importance as an artist can never be overestimated. He was a monster player, writer, and singer. Consider the transformation of Bob Dylan from folk troubadour to Blonde On Blonde-era trailblazer, and then try and imagine where Buddy would have went in the 60's. He wasn't going to be satisfied doing the same thing. He was so hip that he glowed in the dark.
Great video on Buddy Holly. I missed the first one, so I'm happy I got a second chance. It's amazing how much one person can influence generations. I wonder if he had any idea?
You’re probably aware of this but, a hit musical based on the life and music of Buddy Holly, played in London for years at one of the theatres near Victoria Station. It had more than 5,000 performances over more than 10 yrs. I’m from the US but used to be in London frequently on business and would go see it whenever I could.
Another great video....thank again, Mr. Pegasus !
Buddy 👋😎🎸is back. Always a good choice. Thanks again for this video.
One of my favorites!! Happy Easter Fil
Influential artist for so many artists to come. Great songwriter with very original vocals and sound. Lots l could write about Buddy but it's all been said many times over by so many. Sadly gone far too soon. Thanks for a really interesting analysis Fil! 😎🎼🎵🎶🇨🇦
Hi Fil. I really like your"retro" analysis videos ! Thanks so much.
I grew up through Buddy's life and music, i think we all cried 'The Day The Music Died.'
Hi Fil !!!!
Thank you for covering another one of our Texas Legends. And thank you for explaining the circumstances around his death to everyone else. I've always blamed the music industry for the death of Buddy Holly.
Another great job Fil- I grew up on Buddy Holly- truly an amazing artist. Stay safe brother and keep up the great job.
The music will *NEVER* die!!!! 🎹🎼🥁🎤
*Original Performance Video* - ruclips.net/video/9nrInsANB8Q/видео.html
Buddy is from Lubbock, Texas where I am. I used to play old Rock and Doo Wap tunes as a DJ at the old recording studio, KDAV, AM stereo in 1999 to 2001. We streamed and had a ton of people who emailed and made trips to the station, from England. Serious fans in the UK! The radio station is gone now, but it sure made alot of people's vacations, along with their tour of the museum. His wife was horrid to us, constantly looking for a copywrite law suit. Elena Holly made sure Buddy didn't get his just acknowledgement in Lubbock. She was a witch, but his memory still lives here!
I used to listen to KDAV via the internet here in the UK back in the late 90's, it was the best rock 'n' roll radio station at the time... 👍
Once again, incredible research and insight, thanks!
You do a hell of a good job with your videos. Really, one of he best.
Mate I really enjoyed this one, as many other analyses. Thank you, a lot of details I actually didn't even know about Buddy Hollie
An incredible analysis of Buddy and the Crickets! You are so knowlegeable and articulate❤
63 years later and it still sounds great...enough said! Buddy Holly...a face on the Mount Rushmore of Rock n Roll!
I agree. 63 years later, think about that. The reality is today,s music doesn,t have anything memorable. No one will remember today,s music in 63 years.
I love how you always dive into the history in your reviews. Also, I might keep mentioning Uriah Heep (when David Byron was the singer) so that I can hopefully see you analyze them someday in the upcoming months ;)
His original name Charles Hardin Holley “Buddy Holly” distant cousin of mine, just watched Gary Busey as Buddy Holly just happen to be on when I woke up this morning already crying end so sad, great person..🙏❤️👩🌾
Buddy was the master! Thanks for sharing ♥️
Love Buddy Holly and have collected around 65 of his songs. 👍👍
It's crazy as hell to book a show in North Dakota in February, -30F is pretty common that time of year.
I really appreciate the fact that a young dude like you is such a fan of the rock music that was made before you were born.
For sure a worldwide influence! I'm very glad that he influenced many musicians in the Southwestern States of the United States. It has provided us with generation after generation after...! And we who live here have surely enjoyed the music!
Buddy was an amazing artist! Also a very smart businessman. It was unheard of for a musician to produce and have artistic freedom. RIP Buddy 💜
Thanks, Fil. So very informative. I'm so old I had Buddy Holly's greatest hits on 8 track when I was a kid. Gary Busey went off the rails later on, but I loved The Buddy Holly Story.
Hi. I really liked that. Most people just criticize Norman Petty and say he wouldn't give Buddy his money. Its great that you mention Manny Greenfeld, who was the real problem. I've studied Buddy and The Crickets for around 30 years. I visited Lubbock and was friends with the late Bill Griggs, well respected historian of BH and The Crickets, and Rock and Roll. I looked through original paperwork and memorabilia. I remember one receipt for a $2000 withdrawal from the Crickets account from 1958 in the name of Joe B Mauldin, the bass player. The reason given as "clothes". $2000 was a lot of money back then...especially for clothes! They also bought motorcycles, and even a speedboat and waterski equipment. The truth is, they were young kids, 17, 18, 19 and they spent a lot of their money as fast as they earned it!
You did a great job with that video and the description. The actual accounts were still being disputed into the 2000's. Crazy.
All true. See my comment above. Buddy and his estate were raped by multiple people for years.
WOW! Buddy Holly! Now that's getting near the roots of it all! I was in GRADE SCHOOL when I first heard Buddy, Ritchie Valens, The Big Bopper, Little Richard, and all those other 50's rockers, and I was hooked. In those days, top 40 radio was a good source for new rock music and American Bandstand was, too. What wonderful music to have as the theme music of my coming of age. It set me up for my teenage years in the 60's with the British Invasion of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, heavy metal, prog rock, folk rock, country rock, and on and on. When it comes to "the music of my generation," I feel we were truly blessed with the GREATEST! This one made me smile, Fil! Thanks!
I am 69 years old and yes we were blessed to have so many great artist back then. The late 50,s and 60,s & 70,s have produced what we can now call real handmade music played by real musicians. It was the greatest music era ever and still strong today and will be in years and years to come !
You forgot the most explosive of all.
The sun sessions.
Elvis's fusion of black blues with white country. Revelatory and progressive.
Pure dynamite.
To me. Nothing is nearly as exciting as elvis's sun studio sessions in 54'
Great video Fil.. so much info..
That was really cool 😎 to see . , and a whole lot of fun . Thanks for making your videos informative and fun as usual!
I Hope You All have A Beautiful Easter Everyone . ❤️❤️❤️
Stay in Guys and please stay safe ok. 👌❤️👌💥
That'll be the day if I ever get tired of hearing a Buddy Holly and The Crickets track. thanks for re-uploading this one. always great analysis! thanks Fil. stay safe out there.
Buddy Holly is the coolest musician I ever heard.
There is something magical and special and charismatic about Buddy that nobody can put their finger on.
You can hear Buddy Holly songs thousands of times an still be astonished hearing something new.
And even several decades later ,Buddy Reaches out and touches us deep inside as a friend.
The real Peggy Sue,who passed on recently, regarded Buddy Holly as one of the best friends she ever had which confirms that sweet vibe You get in his music.
Another thing cool about Buddy is he was a White guy from Texas in the 1950s who didn't think twice about associating with
people of color which was incredibly socially rare at that time and place.
I was half a generation later in the 1960's and I learned about Buddy Holly when the DJ's on my local rock&roll radio station started telling us about Buddy and playing his records.It was life changing for me.
Fil,you're young,and I really appreciate You bringing Buddy into yet another generation.
Have You seen that video of Buddy on the Ed Sullivan Show where he's performing Peggy Sue? Its real cool because he goes into this drug free musicians' trance and scoots all over the stage playing his guitar and his band members are watching him in astonishment .its real cool to watch, and as a musician ,I can tell You first hand that musicians' trance really is a thing.
Watched this on Roku last night so couldn't comment until now. I live in Clovis, New Mexico where Buddy recorded at Norman Petty's studio. We have a Clovis Music festival here now too. He looms large in our legend.
I was ten or eleven when Buddy came on the scene. He blew everybody away. I'm seventy three now and still am hooked on his sound. Later I heard it called Tex-Mex. It seems to fit even though I don't know how to define Tex-Mex. I think it means the slightly off tick of the beat that gives it soul and really moves me. If you read this Fil, maybe you can define Tex-Mex.
Very well said...I love listening to Holly’s music and always intrigued to hear about how music evolved...I think I’ve mentioned this...a musician Joe Var Veri I’ve met in Brooklyn just posted a Buddy Holly cover of Peggy Sue...which I also seen him perform live....although not since December.
I don’t remember too much about Buddy Holly. I was busy watching Saturday morning cartoons. But I bet my mom and dad loved them.. they were very young when I was born. It’s sad that he died so young. Thanks for analysis, Fil. Such a sad story
I love buddy Holly. I visited the ballroom they played the night they died and went to the crash site memorial. So sad 😞
Hey Fil, just sending off a Happiest Birthday. Sent a greeting through Wings of Pegasus on Facebook, hope you get our video. We're sick in bed with fever man, stay well. Raymond and Mary.
I like how you blaze your own trail and present a vast spectrum of artists with intelligent analytical commentary from an experienced musicians point of view.
Thanks!
Some of Buddy's more obscure recordings really show what a great guitar player he was, like "Honky Tonk", and also version 2 of "Mona".
Another interesting thing I heard said about Buddy by Jerry Alison, the drummer in the Crickets, was that Buddy never practiced. He was always just playing and performing. Performing was his practice. I think that's a great way to think of it for any musician.
They all met up and played regularly at each others houses during their high school years and even after graduation. The first time Sonny Curtis met Buddy was when a friend brought Sonny over to Bob Montgomery's house, right in the middle of a bit of a jam session. Sonny said there was little small talk and he pretty much went right into playing with them.
Buddy did a lot of his recordings right here in my home town of Clovis, NM in Norman Petty's studio.
Following up on John A's comment about Buddy getting the idea for "That'll Be the Day" from the John Wayne movie, "The Searchers," Jerry (J.I.) Allison, the Crickets' drummer, was with Buddy that day. After the movie, they returned to Jerry's family's home, where they proceeded to write "That'll be the Day" together. The Allison family home was moved to the grounds of the Buddy Holly Center in Lubbock in 2013, and I had the thrill of touring the home and standing in Jerry's bedroom (complete with drum set donated by Jerry), where the iconic song was created. The Holly Center is fabulous, too and doesn't get enough publicity. Included in the Center's collection: Buddy's iconic black horn-rimmed glasses, his Stratocaster and priceless items dating back to his early childhood. Make the pilgrimage if you can!
Another great story, Fil. Buddy was just unreal. Lubbock, Texas, where Buddy grew up, was WAY out in the country in the 1950s. It makes you wonder how he acquired the insight to write those amazing songs. I played a backup singer in "Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story" theatrical touring show in the US for a couple of years, and did lots of research on Buddy. I even met some of the people involved when we played in west Texas. The money issues were never truly resolved. Buddy died without a will, and it became open season on his estate. Every unscrupulous business acquaintance Buddy had ever met descended on the family. Buddy's parents (at least at first) didn't like or trust Maria(who lived in New York), and vice-versa. Buddy was buried in Lubbock, without Maria being present. Maria was pregnant when Buddy died, but miscarried soon after. She didn't tell Buddy's parents until much later. Eventually Maria and Buddy's parents came to an understanding and Maria got paid for a fair amount of the royalties, but clearly Buddy and his estate was fleeced by multiple people. Very sad story in many ways.
Another great tidbit: The actress who played Maria in our version of "Buddy!" contacted the real Maria, and spoke with her several times. She never remarried and was very protective of Buddy's image until she died, which was just a few years ago.
That little nod and bow right before he exits stage. A Texas gentleman through and through. Whatever that "it" factor is, he had it in spades.
buddy holly is one of my favorit 50s rocker.great guitarist and song writer.also wizard in studio.
Keep me in your thoughts Fil and Pegasus Heads ..every day I have to hear The 4 Non Blondes only one hit on the company owned radio station at work..thanks Fil..love Buddy Holly
Actually the singer that wrote it has written many hits songs for other people.
That's why your phone has blue tooth and they make wireless earbuds.
I suppose staying at home isn't quite so bad. 😻🙃
ENJOY your weekend, and STAY SAFE. ROCK ON!! ✌
😍😍Don't know if Buddy played the beginning of the song on the guitar but it had me from the start. Fil I can listen & enjoy the guitar & drums also. But that guitar has me captivated. Love it. I think if Buddy had lived he would have been bigger than Elvis but I guess it wasn't meant to be. Now that's love when you propose that fast! Happy Early Bithday Fil!😚 and Happy Easter!😍💕
Wonderful, Fil! I always say Buddy Holley is timeless. His songs just won't go out of style. So, while I'm licking my wounds over losing Bill Withers and John Prine, I know they will retain that immortality, as long as new people love their music. \m/ rawk on, Fil!!
While watching the original video, it paused to load and I immediately thought “Now how did he pause THIS video!” Haha! Great analysis of a great artist as usual. The day the music died...hmmm..,sounds like there could be a song in there somewhere. 😁😁😁
FIL, THANKS FOR THE VIDEO, AND YOUR COMMENTS,, BUDDY HOLLY MADE THE FENDER STRAT FAMOUS, EVERYONE WANTED ONE BECAUSE OF HIM, COUSIN FIGEL
This is one of the best video reviews I think you have done, Fil (but that is prejudiced because I like Buddy Holly😊). My favourite Buddy Holly song, however, is "Everyday."
My Dad introduced me to Buddy’s music. Been a lover of him ever since. We owe Buddy a helluva gratitude. Without Buddy we wouldn’t have Rock-N-Roll today.
If you haven’t seen The Buddy Holly story with Gary Busey you need to. It’s pretty accurate in the story plus Gary Busey, Don Stroud and Charles Martin Smith (the actors) did their own singing in the movie and was actually pretty good! Thank you for this video!
Great analysis video Fil! As always. ❤️🤘🏼
Thanks!
Fil, I really like what you do here. You stay cool, and indoors !! 👍
- also, my mum saw Buddy Holly in 57,'58 ? Melbourne Australia. Who would have thought, my 'ol lady was cool. ( dunno what happened after that .. Hehehe..)
I actually got into Buddy Holly and the Crickets because of The Beatles, who covered Words of Love.
Must say that your analyses has made me appreciate the craft of music a lot more.
I read somewhere that Mark Knopfler said he heard Rave On on the radio or something immediately after Telegraph Road had come on. And he was marvelling how the Crickets sounded so visceral and huge and made his own 14-minute masterpiece sound so hollow.
I contacted Jerry Allison, buddy's drummer many years ago. I sent him a photo of Buddy Holly and The Crickets playing on Ed Sullivan show, he signed it for me and sent it back. It's sits above my desk. Super nice guy and a great inventive rock drummer! My prized possession and I'd never sell it.
Cool!
Paul McCartney owns the rights to Buddy Holly's and also Carl Perkin's catalog of music. I guess we have to blame Sir Paul for the blocking. 🙄
Please... Don't even get me started on McCarthy.
The real Paul or the fake one?
If this man makes money off of subs and plays a buddy holly song that most likely will get more views and subs if the actual song and perfomance is shown on this video. It's not intentional but if the performance was on here this man would gain subs off of buddy's song, not the breakdown
Great video. Very informative. I'm new to your channel so I don't know all the videos you've done, but as a big David Bowie fan I would love to see any kind of analysis on Bowie.
There are a series of interviews with Maria Holly, Buddy's widow, on RUclips. They are worth listening to for any Buddy Holly fan. I believe she was a little older than Buddy, and she had never been on a date before. She may have thought it was quite normal for a guy to propose to his date the first time out. (ha)
Thanks for the video.
You said it all. Very impressive work on this one. I also liked the Gary Busey performance as Buddy in his movie. Should check it out. Thanks again
Thanks for the info, interesting stuff!
Incredibly influential,without Buddy Holly & The Crickets we probably wouldn't have had the Beatles simple as that!
FIL, THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO AND YOUR COMMENTS, I MUST SAY THIS, BUDDY BEING FROM LUBBOCK TEXAS, THEY DID NOT HAVE A RECORDING STUDIO , THAT WAS REAL GOOD, SO HE WENT TO CLOVIS NEW MEXICO WHERE THEY HAD A STUDIO, HE RECORDED MANY OF HIS FIRST RECORDINGS THERE, THAT BECAME HITS, THE STUDIO IS STILL THERE, IT IS A MUSEUM NOW, THEY STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL MIKE, AND MOST OF THE ORIGINAL THINGS THERE, I WENT THERE AND SAW THE MUSEUM, IT IS LIKE YOU STEPPED BACK IN THE 1950'S, JUST AWESOME, I LIVE ABOUT 3 HOURS AWAY FROM THERE, I HAD TO GO, FROM WHAT I READ BUDDY'S PROFESSIONAL CAREER WAS ONLY 18 MONTHS LONG, THIS IS RECORDINGS OF HIS HITS, A VERY SHORT TIME, IF YOU EVER COME TO AMERICA, YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO STAY AT MY HOUSE, AND I WILL TAKE YOU THERE, ROCK ON, COUSIN FIGEL
It's refreshing to hear something other than blind Norman-blaming. Many people completely overlook the Manny Greenfield factor entirely. Thank you!
Wow - 1:21 ... how much can you pack into 1 minute 21 seconds? This guy was brilliant and one of the greatest entertainers of the 20th century. Thanks for the terriic commentary, Fil!
Helllooooo, ...Plastico Flamingo here, welcome to Fil's channel! I remember the first version of this video, before YT got silly. Good one, as always. Anyway, during this "lockdown", I have discovered School Of Rock videos on YT. Middle and High School aged kids doing cover songs live. Check it out, guys. I don't know about you, but I love seeing young people getting into any kind of artistic endeavor (endeavour for you English speakers). Sorry, Fil, I just think that you, and the "Wingers" should check these kids out.
Please remember this beat started with Bo Diddley. Having said that, Buddy was a genius and a huge influence. I recommend watching the Buddy Holly Story with Gary Busey. for younger fans just discovering Buddy
