Buddy would've had a huge influence in the 60s and beyond had he lived. He already influenced music, The Stones and Beatles covered him and openly admitted his influence, but had he not died in that stupid fucking plane then his influence AND presence would've been huge. He was a giant of rock and roll and no one who knew him had a single bad word to say about him. He was truly an extremely talented, gentleman rocker.

Sadly, the original Crickets lineup gets fewer. It's only Jerry Allison that's still with us. Buddy, Nikki and Joe are all gone.

Jerry Allison says this song was written mainly by Buddy himself with Jerry as co-author - even though Buddy was not included on the credits. Always thought Buddy must have had a hand in writing it - one of his best in my view.

Rock n Roll at its best. He was so unique.

Tom Jeffrey

Well, you can tell it’s rockabilly if the upright bass is slappin away giving it that great clack sound. While this tune has a pretty country bass line in two, the sound is just different, and with the drums, well that’s what I call rock n’ roll. Pretty darn near rockabilly, but I think it’s just rock- or even in a league of its own. It’s buddy!

I just love his sound. This was the sound that influenced the Beatles, Stones, and just about every other rock musician. Just imagine the body of work we would have to listen to today if he hadn’t been taken from us so soon.

I remember when i was 8 (Now 12) When i found Buddys music. It made me confident and hes the reason i started playing guitar and ukulele! Im so happy i realized who he was and who other Legends are. Music now is nothing compared to 50s-90s Music, I dont care if i get bullied because this time..Im not wrong😌

At the end of this song there’s a cricket chirp. Since it was on beat, they left it in. Hence the bands name, The Crickets.

Heard THIS version long before I heard Holly's and I've been a fan since 1958!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIt6T-kz2-w
And BTW: Holly was one of the first rockers to use multi-track recording production.
And I've been playing electric guitar for 57+ years ... I ALWAYS have crickets in my ears!

He'd have gone on to be a producer extraordinaire, guiding careers of up and coming musical talent. His and Eddie Cochrane's careers would have been blinding.

Rest in peace, Buddy Holly! I dunno what major impact you had on people back in the day, but I sincerely know how relevant are your songs today, especially during this horrible time! Rock in heaven, legend!

This is another beautiful song by the "Prince of Rock N' Roll". What is hauntingly beautiful, however, is how this song is like a dream, and then at 1:54 his voice begins to do a kind of echo-fade out. As if the song is a dream, in a world where he still lives on, but as the song ends you wake up to this world, where he is gone, but cannot be forgotten. It's heavenly.
