After performing on the same 1956 radio show as fellow Texan Roy Orbison and his "Teen Kings" band, Orbison suggested Knox go see record producer Norman Petty at his studio in Clovis, New Mexico.
Knox recorded three songs at Petty's studio, most notably "Party Doll" that later was released on the Roulette label and went to No.1 on the Cash Box magazine music chart in 1957. This success was followed by "Rock Your Little Baby To Sleep", a top 20 hit, and "Hula Love", a top 10 hit. While he never achieved the same level of artistic success, Buddy Knox enjoyed a long career in music. For his pioneering contribution, Knox was elected to the Rockabilly Hall of Fame. "Party Doll" was voted one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
In May 1969, Buddy Knox appeared at Langley Speedway (British Columbia) in Langley, British Columbia, Canada and assisted in handing out trophies to the race winners.
A lifelong user of cigarettes, Buddy Knox died of lung cancer in 1999 in Bremerton, Washington. He is interred in Dreamland Cemetery, in Canyon, Texas.

Buddy is a funky blues man, and he does more than just play music... he thrills his crowd with great blues guitar on his 335 Gibson and with some stage theatrics tossed in, he does indeed 'smoke ya boots'. Buddy and his band play authentic blues, with a dash of didgeridoo!! Unique and funky!!
The Blues
Buddy's blues influences include all the Kings: Freddie, Albert and BB, Robert Delbert McClinton, with vast blues knowledge of the old blues men and a great respect tor their work.
Buddy and his band have a unique stage presentation, they like to 'go hard' and give audiences their best.

Buddy says he "feels like a man 'bout to light a smoke at a petrol pump'...."

Party Doll
Buddy Knox Lyrics
Well, all I want is a party doll
To come along with me when I'm feelin' wild
To be everlovin' and true and fair
To run her fingers through my hair
Come along and be my party doll
Come along and be my party doll
Come along and be my party doll
I'll make love to you, to you
I'll make love to you
Well, I saw a gal walkin' down the street
The kind of a gal I would love to meet
She had blonde hair and eyes of blue
Baby, I'm a-gonna have a party with you
Come along and be my party doll
Come along and be my party doll
Come along and be my party doll
I'll make love to you, to you
I'll make love to you
Ev'ry man has gotta have a party doll
To be with him when he's feelin' wild
To be everlovin', true, and fair
To run her fingers through his hair
To run her fingers through his hair
Come along and be my party doll
Come along and be my party doll
Come along and be my party doll
I'll make love to you, to you
I'll make love to you
Come along and be my party doll
Come along and be my party doll
Come along and be my party doll
I'll make love to you, to you
I'll make love to you
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Saw him perform this live back around 1957. My first 'rock' concert. Been a fan of Buddy Knox ever since.
Stijn Toonen
Cool👍
Michael Glickman
For those wondering, the musicians are lead vocalist-guitarist Buddy Knox, lead guitarist Don Lanier, bassist Jimmy Bowen, and drummer Dave Alldred.
James Ian-Allen
And who really gives a fuck rockstar...they're all dead now, lmao...good tune though. :)
Tom Miller
I was 19 years old, 1957 in the Air Force, stationed in Antigo, Wisconsin, listening to this and having a great time. Left Wisconsin for Korea but have always remembered this song and the good times it rerpresented.
Robert Adamovich
Tom,
Where was the base’s location in Antigo? I’m from north of that area, and I drive through often.
My dad (who was born in ‘43) had this 45.
John Halstead
Tom, I was a little to young to serve or even know who Buddy was but, I sure can’t forget Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, or Richy Vallens. Those 3 entertainers along with the Pilot were all killed the same year my older sister and her boyfriend were in a head on crash as they were coming home from the Prom. My Sister was badly injured but, her boyfriend didn’t make it. I’ve now lost all of my family except nieces and nephews. No one ever said that life would be easy. GN
Joan Sharp
I WAS YOUNG WHEN THIS SONG CAME OUT JUNIOR HIGH..
Sands of time
I sure do remember listening to this song playing on a real jukebox back in 57'.
