"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
@@ADAMSIXTIES John Lennon and Paul McCartney went to hear Buddy Holly and the Crickets in 1953, I think, in London. I love to imagine them practicing the chords afterward. And of course, the "Beatles" was a play on "The Crickets"...that was Lennon's doing.
Buddy Holly set the standard for modern rock music. Just about everyone who followed owed their success to him in one way or another. Beatles included.
the beatles were in awe of buddy holly and the crickets so much they named themselves after an insect, the first proper 4 piece, they set the template of two guitars drums and bass. buddy holly legend
Buddy Holly created a world of amazing melody. He was a producer, songwriter, guitar lead, singer and multiple instrumentalist. Nobody does this while being a pioneer of rock n roll and losing their life at age 22, but Buddy Holly did it and will forever be in a class of his own.
Today is February 3, 2022, 63 years after the "Day the Music Died", and I come here to listen to the great Buddy Holly, one of my Rock and Roll heroes. He is immortal. Gone but not forgotten.
The five ones that changed the rock n roll, in my opinion are Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and Little Richard! Long live to these legends
It's great to se how everyone appreciates both versions of this song without comparing them. Probably the best comment section on a song I have ever seen.
Beatles version is different,voices first of all,harmony in second place,and instruments. Buddy is awesome,and Beatles too. So they are different, this is not competition.
Buddy's double tracked guitar and singing along with himself makes this unique sound. He was one of the first to use the Les Paul technique. He convinced Robin Luke to use it on Susie Darlin after hearing Robin's demo. It really gave the song a one of a kind sound. A one hit wonder that made number one. ( Susie Darlin, I mean). Buddy's demo tape of Words Of Love was made in the Clovis studio of Norman Petty but it wasn't released until after his death in 1959. Buddy had only two albums made during his lifetime, but Coral Records released several after Buddy's popularity in England increased from 59-63.. Other tapes were found in his New York apartment and released .. Paul Mccartney released the box set called The Complete Buddy Holly in 1985, but legal battles between Petty and Holly's widow caused it to be pulled from circulation. Some of the early box sets were sold to lucky buyers. I managed to get one. It's no longer available today.
@@Rulraulxd The "Les Paul Technique" is the multilayering of instruments and voices perfected by Les Paul and used extensively on his recordings with his wife, Mary Paul. Richard Carpenter was very influenced by this and used Les Paul's technique to multilayer his sister Karen's vocals on many of their recordings.
@@Rulraulxd Les Paul invented a double tracking machine in 1950 about the same time he invented the first electric guitar. He did this so he and also his wife could sing along with themelves. Les Paul has a post on U Tube.
Nunca había oído esta versión de este tema con Buddy...con los Beatles si.....y ya sabía que este tema lo había cantado primero Buddy antes que lo Beatles....pero no había tenido la oportunidad de oírlo y me parece que lo interpreta maravilloso a su estilo , también lo s Beatles lo interpretan excelente al suyo
The Beatles worshipped Buddy Holly, a genius musician. Their version of this excellent and very very catchy song is a perfect recreation. Holly's "True Love Ways" brings tears every time I listen to it. It could have been written and recorded last week. It's timelessness is absolutely astounding! Same goes for "It Doesn't Matter Anymore," which I believe was not released until after his death. Just watched "The Buddy Holly Story" starring Gary Busey (surprisingly excellent and brilliant performance....which caught me totally by surprise) was released in 1978!!! And somehow I had totally missed its existence until now. He actually played the guitar and did the vocals himself. But, I digress. This is about Holly's greatness. Who knows what he actually could have achieved had he not died so tragically and so young!!!
Buddy Holly a kind and beautiful soul gone to Heaven to soon! Even though he was way before my time I love him and it hurts me his death. I wish I had lived during his time and enjoy his Art!
I lived in his time as a young kid, I remember his music on the radio. I went to a friends house one day, in February, and her older sister was crying because Buddy had died. That was my intro into his impact, I just knew the songs. 🙏 grateful for that.
I've heard of Buddy Holly all 30+ years of my life, but only recently started listening to him. And now I can understand how he influenced so many artists. Dude can rock.
Buddy had, what I read on a 2015 quote from Don McLean ("American Pie", 1971-72), was an astronomical 50 songs recorded or partially recorded already on tape by the time he passed away. An unbelievable accomplishment who was only in the business for a month less than 3 years, starting at only 19- 1/2! He had so much material, his publisher had enough to go on for 10 years after Buddy died! No telling how many songs he would have written, performed or gone into publishing if he had lived just another 10 years. If he had lived to only 32 (Sep. 1968), he would have far surpassed any other group or band in the prime Rock era, 1958-68, including The Beatles or Rolling Stones if they had tried to compete with The Master, who invented the now-standard band of 2 guitars, bass, and drums. R.I.P. Sep. 7, 1936 - Feb. 3, 1959.
Buddy Holly (In my personal opinion) could've been just as good as the Beatles if he had lived another decade... However, the Beatles really did this song justice.
I have to admit that there's little to chose between the two versions of this lovely tune although Buddy was overall by far the best musician in my view
"Words of Love" is a song written by Buddy Holly and recorded by him on April 8, 1957" Hold me close and tell me how you feel Words of love you whisper soft and true Mm, mm, mm, mm very nice Buddy Holly
15 and I love this song. What I’m trying to say is, there would still be people in my generation who listen to and appreciate this masterpiece, created by a short-lived legend.
1958 and I was 14 years old growing up in New Zealand listening to the best music of all time and this was a real favourite. Someone gave me a broken 78 rpm version of this song, I cut a cardboard disc and glued the record back together on the disc and it worked pretty well. Records were not cheap back then and not always available so we did the best with what we had. Still the luckiest generation ever though!
Tho I love the Beatles and understand they were inspired by Buddy. Truly no one could touch Buddy, not even Lenon. Buddy was the King of Rock n Roll. Wrote his own music, also tho I love Elvis Buddy had that title. Elvis was more Rhythm n Blues sound.
Nobody like him before, then, or now. Buddy recorded over 50 tracks, most of which he wrote himself, and his music has influenced so many. Keith Richards said, "He's in Everyone". Buddy Holly's star still Arcs from horizon to horizon in the world of music.
Buddy is the Real King of Eock'n'Roll 💓🎶💯 They all emulated Buddy, including Elvis, Buddy was the first to shake a leg on stage. There's no telling where his music had gone, had his career cut short by that dreadfull plane crash. " The Day the Music Died'
Buddy Holly was a genius, a legend whose music will be with us for all time. The preserved black and white and oft-shown clips of him with The Crickets singing "That'll Be The Day", "Peggy Sue" and "Oh! Boy" prove that not only was he a brilliant song-writer and poet, he was also a great showman with his whole life and career in front of him before that dreadful plane crash which also took the lives of Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson a.k.a. The Big Bopper. And he would never have been on that plane if only the 1959 Winter Dance Party tour had been properly organised. Buddy's records, so simple and plaintive yet at the same time melodic and full of joy, have certainly stood the test of time and even now I, as a 71 years old man, are still reduced to tears every time I hear "True Love Ways" which Buddy puts his heart and soul into, packed with so much emotion and to a glorious orchestral arrangement by the Dick Jacobs Orchestra too. R.I.P. Buddy, you will live on in the hearts of your fans forever. David, Crouch End, London N8
Frozen in time forever! What would he have done in the 1960's, long hair with a beard. What kind of music would he have written in the 60's & 70's; no one will never know!
How can someone tell someone else what they like better? Music is an art form. I appreciate Buddy Holly’s emotion in his interpretation, and I appreciate the crisp and polished version that the Beatles produced.
Hi, but the Beatles remastered version that most people here on YT was not actually the sound the Beatles created with George Martin .... it was gorgeous but not quite so silkkkkky....that was not Lennon's style, at all.
@@patricias5122The live version was used for the music video, so a lot also have heard the non-remastered version. Also let's not forget that you can't say "its not john lennon's style", this is the beginning, this is where he was heavily and more freshly influenced by Buddy. So it sort of was his style.
I mean to say that this is one of those magnificent numbers where you can feel the trace of Bo Diddley's enormous, genius musical flavor, but within or part of still another work of pure, aesthetic art in itself... one in which Buddy Holly has again taken a framework only a divine or semi-divine, possibly angelic, genius could construct and has built on to it something that is just a freakishly heavenly, as its foundation, if not beyond the boundaries of the divinely guided creation.
The first rock and roll artist to sing, play, write and produce his OWN music.....Words of Love is considered the first double tracked rock and roll song.....and Buddy's most famous fan to change the name of his group from The Quarrymen.....to....The Beatles, to honor Buddy Holly and The Crickets
Excellent Song. Such a wonderful and talented Gentleman. Learnt a few days ago of Buddy Holly, Lovely style and artist I already added to my songs playlist. RiP Master, Father of Rock and Roll.
An iconic 50's pop standard. Buddy Holly's vocals take the forefront over the instrumentals as he overdubs a harmony with himself. Synonymous with most 50's music, the song is in mono with some reverb giving it that classic sound.
Hold me close and tell me how you feel Tell me love is real Mm, mm, mm, mm Words of love you whisper soft and true Darling I love you Mm, mm, mm, mm Let me hear you say The words I want to hear Darling when you're near Mm, mm, mm, mm Words of love you whisper soft and true Darling I love you
loved Buddy all those years ago, bought my wife her first record,Raining in my heart, over 55 years ago..we still love each other!! BTW do you realise that before Buddy et al the best selling record was "how much is that doggie in the window"?
An interesting fact: look almost just like him. I’m from Texas, have a bit of a similar voice, and play guitar and some other instruments. I remember singing a while ago and my parents and everybody said I reminded them of Buddy Holly. Then my parents looked at my family tree. There he was. On my family tree. I’m also same religion as him. I’m a baptist he was too. And I realized that my father looked like buddy too. I am happy to be related to him. I impersonate him Some information about Buddy Holly: Buddy Holly was only 22 when he died and sang since he was around 13. He was in a country and western duo with bob Montgomery for a while then he joined the crickets in late 1957. They had good songs together, such as, Oh Boy!, Peggy Sue, That’ll be the day, Everyday, and words of love. He was no doubt great at a lot. I don’t like him because he’s my relative, I like him because he has talent. I was a fan of him before I figured out I was related to him. But his band was mainly friends but he had his 3rd cousin by marriage join. Niki Sullivan was in there but then quit because he wasn’t a fan of the traveling. Then it was stuck with Buddy Holly, Joe B Mauldin, and Jerry Allison. Then the crickets got in a argument because Buddy wanted to record in New York. But Jerry and joe wanted to stay in Clovis New Mexico. Also Joe and Jerry were drinking a little bit. Then Buddy on a tour that took his life along with Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper. Maria Elena Holly had a miscarriage and lost the baby. She was devastated and she never remarried again. February 3rd 1959 was then nicknamed The Day The Music Died. And there is some theories that Buddy shot The Big Bopper but there was no way it was possible for Buddy, Ritchie, or The Big Bopper to live. The last thing I want to say is.... R.I.P
Good to see some of the excellent pictures of The Crickets UK tour used here. Of course the song and the group's performance is excellent - not to mention the great production. A neighbour bought me a copy of 'That'll be the Day' for Christmas 1957 - never got over it!!
I'm from Lubbock, TX where Buddy Holly is also from but I've been a Beatles fan my whole life. I actually never knew until today that this was originally a Buddy Holly song. As much as I prefer the Beatles' version, this is great. I should listen to him more often

Eddie Cochran did, and he was a year younger when he lost his life.
He was also a friend of Buddy Holly and was deeply affected by Holly's death
Fantastic comment!!

Yes absolutely...... I'm 72 yrs old. I still have a tear in my eye whenever I hear his music.....
64 years have now passed
He's an irreplacable part of my childhood.
So simple yet so many years ahead of its time. Listen to the vocal layering! Buddy Holly was a genius.

But i get what you mean,his career was just starting and he was just 22. So sad
Catherine Missin yep imagine if he were still knockin' out songs!
would off?
He was already, he'd have been bigger than Sinatra at the trajectory he was on.
He's more than a megastar. He's a Legend.
Played this at my darling wife’s funeral after 30 years. Marriage ...says everything I needed to say.. god bless and thank you see you soon

It’s crazy how he made so much great songs by the time he was 22.
The five ones that changed the rock n roll, in my opinion are Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and Little Richard! Long live to these legends

Long live the kings!
Thanks

Les Paul is literally one of the biggest influences.. so sad he’s underrated

Buddy Holly was, and remains, the greatist, male, solo, pop singer, composer, and instrumentalist of all time. I'm 75 years of age, so I should know.

The first rock and roll artist to sing, play, write and produce his OWN music.....Words of Love is considered the first double tracked rock and roll song.....and Buddy's most famous fan to change the name of his group from The Quarrymen.....to....The Beatles, to honor Buddy Holly and The Crickets
Simple and brilliant.
We played the song at the funeral of my father 23-04-2021. He liked Buddy Holly
Excellent Song.
Such a wonderful and talented Gentleman.
Learnt a few days ago of Buddy Holly, Lovely style and artist I already added to my songs playlist.
RiP Master, Father of Rock and Roll.
What a classic. Buddy holly was a true talent!
An iconic 50's pop standard. Buddy Holly's vocals take the forefront over the instrumentals as he overdubs a harmony with himself. Synonymous with most 50's music, the song is in mono with some reverb giving it that classic sound.
This is an amazing song!
Just 3 major chords.What a masterpiece ❤❤❤
Hold me close and tell me how you feel
Tell me love is real
Mm, mm, mm, mm
Words of love you whisper soft and true
Darling I love you
Mm, mm, mm, mm
Let me hear you say
The words I want to hear
Darling when you're near
Mm, mm, mm, mm
Words of love you whisper soft and true
Darling I love you
We praise you with words of love, Mr Buddy Holly. Loved you since I was 13 years old and always will, like many others!
i could (and have) listen to this song for literally hours on end
Words of love from Buddy are just like chocolate. Smooth and Sweet.x
loved Buddy all those years ago, bought my wife her first record,Raining in my heart, over 55 years ago..we still love each other!! BTW do you realise that before Buddy et al the best selling record was "how much is that doggie in the window"?
An interesting fact:
look almost just like him. I’m from Texas, have a bit of a similar voice, and play guitar and some other instruments. I remember singing a while ago and my parents and everybody said I reminded them of Buddy Holly. Then my parents looked at my family tree. There he was. On my family tree. I’m also same religion as him. I’m a baptist he was too. And I realized that my father looked like buddy too. I am happy to be related to him. I impersonate him
Some information about Buddy Holly:
Buddy Holly was only 22 when he died and sang since he was around 13. He was in a country and western duo with bob Montgomery for a while then he joined the crickets in late 1957. They had good songs together, such as, Oh Boy!, Peggy Sue, That’ll be the day, Everyday, and words of love. He was no doubt great at a lot. I don’t like him because he’s my relative, I like him because he has talent. I was a fan of him before I figured out I was related to him. But his band was mainly friends but he had his 3rd cousin by marriage join. Niki Sullivan was in there but then quit because he wasn’t a fan of the traveling. Then it was stuck with Buddy Holly, Joe B Mauldin, and Jerry Allison. Then the crickets got in a argument because Buddy wanted to record in New York. But Jerry and joe wanted to stay in Clovis New Mexico. Also Joe and Jerry were drinking a little bit. Then Buddy on a tour that took his life along with Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper. Maria Elena Holly had a miscarriage and lost the baby. She was devastated and she never remarried again. February 3rd 1959 was then nicknamed The Day The Music Died. And there is some theories that Buddy shot The Big Bopper but there was no way it was possible for Buddy, Ritchie, or The Big Bopper to live. The last thing I want to say is....
R.I.P

performance is excellent - not to mention the great production.
A neighbour bought me a copy of 'That'll be the Day' for
Christmas 1957 - never got over it!!
MY FAVORITE HOLLY SONG!
Great guitar lines.
You're still missed, Buddy.
the percussion is also awesome
My wedding song. Makes me swoon.
I'm from Lubbock, TX where Buddy Holly is also from but I've been a Beatles fan my whole life. I actually never knew until today that this was originally a Buddy Holly song. As much as I prefer the Beatles' version, this is great. I should listen to him more often
I prefer Buddy's original version.
