Overall Meaning

The Crickets/Buddy Holly's song "Not Fade Away" is a love song with a catchy beat that channels the early rock and roll sound of the late 1950s. The song's simplicity in the lyrics is meant to capture the freshness and excitement of young love, with the singer outlining how their significant other should feel and act towards them. The lyrics are straightforward, with the repetition of "bop-bop-bop-bop" emphasizing the rhythmic roots of the song.

The opening verse of the song is the singer telling their love interest what they expect from them: "You're gonna give your love to me/ I want to love you night and day/ You know my loving not fade away." In the next verse, the singer expresses how big their love is - "My love bigger than a Cadillac/ I'll try to show it when you're driving me back" - and how they want their partner's love to be reciprocated genuinely. The final verse repeats the expectations laid out in the opening.

@@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.

Buddy was ahead of his time. One of the greatest singer/songwriters ever. Recorded over 100 songs in his brief career many of which he wrote or co-wrote. Only 5 of his songs made the charts and one of them posthumously. He had just scratched the surface of his incredible talent when he took that ill fated plane ride. He had to die before people recognized and appreciated his genius. Perhaps the most influential artist in Rock history.

@freeguy77

He was only in the rock era for less than 2 years, but left an absolutely astonishing number of song legacies. He left behind dozens of unfinished recordings: solo transcriptions of his new compositions; informal jam sessions with bandmates; or tapes demonstrating songs intended for other artists. After his death, the demand for his records was so great, and Holly had recorded so prolifically, that his record label was able to release new Holly albums and singles for the next 10 years--1969. As it was, he inspired many important rock individuals and groups, who never would have been known or had classic songs in our memory if it wasn't for Buddy. Prime example: The Beatles, who took their eventual name as a cute cousin of Holly's 'The Crickets'. Charles Hardin 'Buddy' Holley, 22 (Sep. 7, 1936 Lubbock, TX - Feb. 3, 1959 Clear Lake, IA). The spelling was his original last name. Many people now celebrate September 7, to memorialize him, and not the awful Feb. 3 death date for him, J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, and Ritchie Valens. Rolling Stone magazine ranked him #13 in its list of "100 Greatest Artists" If he would have lived to just the age of 30 with his output of writing and performing, he would have been #1 in my opinion. "Rock 'n' Roll has been going downhill ever since Buddy Holly died." --'John Milner' (Paul LeMat), in 'American Grafitti" (1973; movie setting in 1962)

@jamiecolby614

Waylon Jennings decided to take the bus with no heat, and gave his seat on the plane to Ritchie Valens because Ritchie was sick, the last thing Buddy said to Waylon was I hope you freeze your ass off, and Waylon said I hope your plane crashes. They were obviously joking with each other, they were close friends, but that haunted Waylon for almost his entire life. True story.

I love my hard rock and metal but I can appreciate the early rock and roll artist like Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley, Big Bopper, etc.
Thanks to all of them.

Buddy Holly forever in my heart, he is immortalized in the game Mafia 2. One of the best singers ever.

Pity the team didn't do their research properly for the Rock 'n' Roll music. That part of the game was set a year before the R'n'R era officially started (1956), and Not Fade Away was round about...'57 or '58?

Man, this song is genius. Totally goes against the formula of rock and roll at the time. Strange cadence, a bit odd lyrically, but absolutely perfect. Who knows what kind of stuff this guy would've put out over the years. There are many tragic deaths among musicians but I think his might be the most tragic of all. The things that he did as a pop songwriter so early in his career, so young, it's unbelievable.

This proves that something simple can be something special. Seem to be getting harder and harder to find music just about anyone in any age group can listen to and enjoy.
