  • BUDDY HOLLY (Charles Hardin Holley) 7Th September 1936 - 3Rd February 1959 LYRICS Coordinated by Robin Dunn & Chrissie Van Varik
    BUDDY HOLLY (Charles Hardin Holley) 7th September 1936 - 3rd February 1959 LYRICS Coordinated by Robin Dunn & Chrissie van Varik. Buddy Holly was born Charles Hardin Holley on 7th September 1936 in Lubbock, Texas. At a young age he learned to play guitar, fiddle and piano. He released only three albums during his short lifetime, before his untimely death in an airplane crash that fateful “day the music died”, 3rd February 1959. However, he had been a prolific writer and a couple of albums consisting of unreleased material and demo recordings were issued posthumously. Buddy Holly was one of the inaugural inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, together with The Everly Brothers. The songs are as performed in principal recordings (or demos) by Buddy Holly alone and/or with The Crickets plus those released by other artistes where Buddy was involved. Additionally included, for diehard collectors of all things Holly, are songs where lyrics refer to Buddy Holly or his songs. The bracketed date following the title denotes the year of the initial recording. Where it was difficult to detect precisely what is being sung, queries/gaps or alternative suggestions are included in blue and/or indicated by ??. Details of backing musicians are shown both for the pre and posthumous releases. Reference to The Picks 1980s/90s additional overdubs is omitted. Some very obscure titles have been discovered; information is wanted - dates and any recordings. NB: the notes are from various, sometimes contradictory, sources. In many instances Norman Petty (25th May 1927 - 15th August 1984) is included as a co-composing credit.

  • The Geographic Dimensions of Buddy Holly's Meteoric Career
    Romig: "Not Fade Away" “Not Fade Away”: The Geographic Dimensions of Buddy Holly’s Meteoric Career Kevin Romig 8 Produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press, 2011 1 Buddy Holly and radio host, Red Robinson, October 1957. Courtesy Red Robinson. Journal of Texas Music History, Vol. 11 [2011], Iss. 1, Art. 3 The career of native Texan Buddy Holly is often described as “meteoric.” Within 18 months of his frst hit,“That’ll Be the Day,” which charted on the Billboard Top 40 list in 1957, Holly released seven other songs that made the Billboard Top 40.1 He and his band toured extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Australia, and Great Britain, while many contemporaries, such as Elvis Presley, did not tour much, if at all, outside of the 9 United States. Holly quickly established himself as a rock and roll pioneer before his untimely death in an airplane crash on February 3, 1959, while on tour in the American Midwest.2 Holly was only 22 years old when he perished on the ill-fated fight along with fellow pop stars Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson.3 Holly, his band members, and his manager/recording engineer, Norman Petty, had worked tirelessly during the mid- to late 1950s writing and recording new material. Holly’s innovative and driven approach to producing catchy tunes placed him frmly within the upper echelon of rock and roll artists at a time when the market was crowded with aspiring musicians. Te bespectacled and somewhat awkward-looking Holly was perhaps an unlikely candidate to become a teen idol, especially considering that he was following in the footsteps of such stars as Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, and Jerry Lee Lewis.

    Rock the Halls with Bows of Holly 1 Part One: Stairway to Whatever 1. Rock the Halls with Bows of Holly “The levee ain’t dry, And the music didn’t die, ‘Cause Buddy Holly lives Every time we play rock and roll.” —Cricket bandmate Sonny Curtis, 1980 This is a book mostly about Buddy Holly. And his Crickets. The world knows Buddy as the martyred hero of “American Pie,” Don McLean’s #1 rockin’ 1971 saga of dry levees, roaring Chevys, and a golden-age America when rock was young. Long before leaded Zeppelin dreams soared aloft to the stars on ‘Stairways to Heaven,’ rock and roll first honored lean Texan Buddy Holly with his fiery Fender Stratocaster and magic voice. Holly and his rockin’ Crickets brought 1957-59 America and the English-speaking world its first torrid affair with a genuine rock and roll band. After Elvis This’ll Be The Day 2 Presley’s vocals, Chuck Berry’s lead guitar and teen lyrics, and dozens of dynamic drummers perfo- rated 50s quietude with new molten music, Buddy’s electric guitar and bass-powered rock band the Crickets gave us our first taste of rock band glory. Buddy also jump-started the Beatles and Bob Dylan. And yes, of course, the Fab Four owe the Crickets for their style, their gung-ho gusto, and their name. By now, the Beatles’ reputation as premier rock band has never been higher. This’ll Be the Day is about the world’s first and the world’s greatest rock and roll band.

Plus tribute songs and radio broadcasts. Newly mastered with liner notes from music expert, Bill Dahl. February 3, 1959 will always be remembered as ‘the day the music died.’ On that frigid occasion, a small plane carrying Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper crashed in a frozen Iowa field, killing all touring three rock and roll luminaries and their pilot. Bear Family’s posthumous tribute disc to the tragedy brings together some of their greatest recordings on this one-of-a- kind collection, along with key sides from the surviving participants of the tour—Dion and the Belmonts, Frankie Sardo, Waylon Jennings, even Debbie Stevens, whose cover of If You Can’t Rock Me is an unheralded classic. There are also a series of tribute songs to the fallen triumvirate by Eddie Cochran, Ray Campi, Benny Barnes, and Hershel Almond, as well as excerpts from period radio broadcasts relaying the devastating news. Rock 'n' roll would never be the same — it had forever lost its innocence — but the seminal music that Buddy, Ritchie, and the Bopper gave us will never grow old.
