The song "Not Fade Away" by Buddy Holly is a classic rock and roll love song that speaks of the singer's desire for a deep, lasting love that won't fade away with time. The repetitive, driving beat of the bop-bop-bop-bop backing vocals give the song an energetic, almost urgent feel that adds to the urgency of the singer's plea for his love interest to reciprocate his feelings. The lyrics themselves express the singer's confidence that he and his love interest are meant to be together, and that his feelings for her are bigger and more enduring than anything else in his life. The lines "Your love for me got to be real, a-for you to know just how I feel" suggest that the singer is looking for more than just a passing fancy or fling--he wants a real, deep connection with his love interest that will stand the test of time.
Overall, the song seems to be a testament to the power of feeling and the intensity of true love. Through its driving beat and simple, repetitive lyrics, it conveys a sense of urgency and passion that is characteristic of early rock and roll music. In many ways, the song is a classic example of the genre, and its influence can still be felt in countless contemporary rock songs today.

@@donaldloehr4300 The Crickets went on to experience moderate success. Despite the band hiring a dead ringer for Holly's vocal prowess, David Box, and recording one of Holly's last demos, "Peggy Sue Got Married," nothing really stuck with the public from the band's post-Holly Coral and Liberty label releases. Box tragically died in a plane crash on tour in 1964 at age 21, much like Holly before him.
Gradually, though, original band member Jerry Allison, along with new member Sonny Curtis—the two mainstays of the new group—ventured into touring, session work and songwriting, backing the Everly Brothers on their British tour, recording an entire album with teen idol Bobby Vee and even scoring a U.K. hit with a Goffin-King song called "Don't Ever Change."
Curtis later wrote several songs including "Love Is All Around"—better known as the Mary Tyler Moore Show TV theme. The band's first post-Buddy album—1960's "In Style with the Crickets"—eventually produced two major hits for other artists: "I Fought the Law" would become the only U.S. chart-topper for the Bobby Fuller Four in 1966 and the Clash eleven years later, while "More Than I Can Say" topped at number two for Leo Sayer in a soft rock version from 1980.
The group continued to tour and record sporadically in the 1970s, often with outlaw country legend Waylon Jennings, who had been part of Buddy's road band that fateful night but never got on the doomed plane. In 1988, Paul McCartney produced a new single for the group, "T-Shirt," which got some airplay. They also reformed in 2004 for an all-star tribute album featuring such luminaries as Eric Clapton, Phil Everly, Graham Nash, Vince Neil, John Prine, Albert Lee, Johnny Rivers, Rodney Crowell, Bobby Vee and, in one of his last recordings, Waylon himself.
