It is said not to be the case that The Crickets chose their name while listening to a playback of "I'm Gonna Love You Too" ; rather, the name was chosen while going through an encyclopedia of names. Other names had been considered including The Scoundrels and The Spiders. Holly's manager (Norman Petty) and owner of the Norman Petty Studio in Clovis ,NM, decided to keep the chirping in the record, but this is in no way tied to the origin of the band's name. In real life, they chose the name due to huge number of crickets in Texas that particular time of year. It should be worth noting that they almost chose the name The Beetles (it is said that John Lennon later named his band in homage to Holly and The Crickets).
Rhythm guitarist Sullivan wasn't comfortable with the amount of traveling and to a lesser extent, he didn't fit in with Jerry and Joe B. For the same reason, Jerry and Joe were not ready to leave small town Lubbock for big city NY. The big move was the real reason why The Crickets initially broke up, but Holly was not daunted by the breakup; he chose a new back-up band for the Winter Dance Party Tour. The new band consisted of Tommy Allsup, Waylon Jennings and Carl Bunch on drums. Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper were booked on the tour with Holly and his new band. Dion and newcomer Frankie Sardo also performed on this particular tour. But after about 4 months, Jerry and Joe B began to have second thoughts about the breakup of the band. They had planned to fly to Moorehead, MN, and surprise their friend. Destiny stepped in and the music world suffered its first tragic accident February 3, 1959.
The Crickets (Jerry and Joe) continued to record on their own with guitarist Sonny Curtis and vocalist Earl Sinks. The album Remnants was released in 1973 with band members Allison, Curtis, Albert Lee, Ric Grech, Steve Krikorian (later known as Tonio K.), Carol Montgomery, and Nick VanMaarth.
In the film The Buddy Holly Story, the story of the band was altered drastically and includes many inaccuracies. Due to The Crickets selling the rights to another studio, their film counterparts' names were changed for legal reasons. In addition, there are only two Crickets -- a bass player clearly being Mauldin and a drummer modeled on Allison, and the character of Sullivan and his quitting the band is omitted entirely. The real Crickets were outraged on being portrayed as racists, as well as the latter scene in which they appear at Holly's door wanting to reunite. In reality, they had discussed with Holly, shortly before his death, about going on a reunion tour.
The Crickets released The Crickets and Their Buddies in 2004, featuring classics from all parts of their career, with performances by several prominent artists, including Eric Clapton, Rodney Crowell, Waylon Jennings, Nanci Griffith, John Prine, Graham Nash, and Bobby Vee.
On 28 October 2008, The Crickets were inducted into the Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville, TN. On 14 April 2012, The Crickets were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
On February 6, 2016, "The Crickets & Buddies" performed in Clear Lake, Iowa, at the Surf Ballroom, the site of Holly's last performance. Members of previous line-ups appeared, including Sonny Curtis, Glen D. Hardin, Albert Lee, Tommy Allsup, Gordon Payne and others. After the show, Allison announced that it was the group's final performance.

The Crickets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got one heart I wish was mine
Love, sweet love, you've got love
I've got two arms that you could use
To make me lose my blues
Love, sweet love, you've got love
You've got love, sweet love
You've got love that is true
I want only you
You got two eyes so you can see
Your love was meant for me
Love, sweet love, you got love
You've got love, real love
You've got love, sweet love
You've got me in a spin
I love this spin I'm in
You got two eyes so you can see
Your love was meant for me
Love, sweet love, you got love
The Crickets' song "You've Got Love" is a classic love song that illuminates the beauty of love.

The singer then acknowledges the gift of love that the love interest possesses, sweetly singing the refrain of "Love, sweet love, you've got love."
The second verse gives deeper insight into the singer's feelings, referring to their own arms and how the love interest could use them to help them lose their blues. The singer again praises the love that is between them, and the genuine nature of it. The chorus reinforces the idea that the love that the singer shares with the love interest is special and true, and that the singer only wants to be with their love interest. The song ends with a reprise of the second verse and the chorus, with the singer once again recognizing that the love that their love interest has for them is the right love.
Overall, "You've Got Love" is a beautiful, classic love song that speaks to the power and beauty of love. While it may seem simple in its lyrical content, it showcases the wonder and depth of love in a way that is both poetic and relatable.
