As for Busey, "he had Buddy's gestures and mannerisms down to a T-it was as if Buddy was inside Gary.It was so naturalit was scary." And what isperhaps most remarkable is the fact that there was no coaching from Mrs. Holly; she and Busey had virtually no contact during the shooting. His acting, like many aspects of the film (such as the little vignette that deals with "True Love Ways," which "really was our song," said

Maria Elena, "but I never told them that. I don't know how they pickeditup")is simply intuitively right. She had not met Maria Richwine, the young actress who portrays her, yet the Busey/Richwine interactionisas genuine as everything else."Inever talked with either of them-their relationship must have sparked then and there. They were very deeply involved in their parts, and it shows." Mrs. Holly, as well as Buddy's parents, had been approached more than once in the past for permission to film Holly's life. One effort neared completion before it was finally shelved, but only this film had the full blessing of all concerned. "It was the sincerity of Freddy Bauer,.

AmericanRadioHistory.Com The Coast (Continued from page 34) Pattie Brooks Gig The impression given by the film that Holly was a strong-willed, independent man, one with very clear ideas of what he wanted to accomplish, is no coincidence. "Buddy was very quiet, but also very businesslike," said Mrs. Holly. "He was determined to do things the way he thought was best, and he was never afraid of new things. To me, Buddy was old for his age (only 22 when he died). His attitude was that of a man who had lived longer than his years." By her own admission, Maria Holly "stayed away from the whole situation after Buddy died, because I just couldn't handle it.It was a very difficult time. Only very recently, maybe two years ago, could I start to feel at ease again listening to his music." Their time together was short: they were married after a two-week courtship, and when the singer's plane went down in that Iowa storm, she had been Mrs. Buddy Holly for but six months. To be sure, Holly's influence remains pervasive. His spirit thrives in the cover versions of his songs that appear seemingly every week, asit now also thrives so vividly in "The Buddy Holly Story."

That's the biggest trend here right now. BONEY'S BABYLON BOOM: Monti Lueftner and Friedel Schmidt of Ariola joined Peter, Trudy and Tommy Meisel and Hansa boss Hans Blume in a platinum party honoring Boney M. and producer Frank Farian. The volume of this group's recent sales is unparalleled. Hansa label manager Dietmar Kawohl figures that every 0.4 seconds, some- body bought a "Rivers Of Babylon" single (total West German sales now around 1.5 million). Advance orders for the "Nightflight To Ve- nus" Ip (due this week) exceed 700,000, making it the first and only Ip ever to go platinum here on the first shipment. Release of the set was delayed as Farian reworked the mix for three months. He finished the job just hours before the group's appearance at Munich's East Side disco for the platinum presentation. Monti Lueftner noted that East Side was chosen for the event because Boney M. first broke in the German discos.

The main bone of contention in the contract is the one pound cut-off clause whereby any amount below this figure in commercial record royalties would not be distributed but put back in the MCPS funds in order to reduce the commissions charged for MCPS services from 15 to eight percent. This measure applies to commercial record royalties only. Radio and other royalty distribution will be paid in full. The details of the contract first came to light via Bob Newby of Marleybone Music, who resigned from the MCPS board as a result Itis understood that there will soon be an extraordinary general meeting of the MPA to solve the strained relationship between the MPA and the MCPS. The MPA took over the MCPS in June of 1976.
