Fantastic singer. Makes goose pimples rise on arms. She like Carol Kay deserved a lot more success in their careers.😊

I WISH ID BEEN ALOT OLDER WHEN BUDDY HOLLY WAS ALIVE, SADLY WAS ONLY ABOUT 5 WHEN HIS TRAGIC, UNTIMELY DEATH OCCURRED (SO HAVE NO RECOLLECTION OF THIS SAD EVENT) BUT HAVE REALLY GROWN TO LOVE HIS MUSIC. IVE WATCHED THE BUDDY HOLLY STORY MANY TIMES, THE 2 PARTS THAT REALLY MOVE ME ARE AT THE BUS STATION SAYING GOODBYE TO HIS WIFE (WOULD BE THE VERY LAST TIME HE'D SEE HER AND SHE HIM) AT THE END OF HIS LAST CONCERT - FLASHING UP NEWS OF HIS DEATH LATER ON THAT NIGHT) THIS A BEAUTIFUL SONG, GREAT THAT 60 YEARS ON THE MUSIC STILL SOUNDS GREAT.
