Buddy Holly - Peggy Sue

[1510Ronald]

In Deutschland wäre dieser Auftritt damals nicht möglich gewesen. Die Lockerheit der Amerikaner hat vieles zunächst Verborgene hervorgebracht.

[eriachafter]

yeah!!!! eh!!??

[damageplan67]

I would have liked to see what he could have done too bad he did at age 17 I believe,He died to early like Randy Rhoads.

[themavchamp2]

@damageplan67 i actually believe he was 22 when he died

[SunnyisinCalifornia]

@damageplan67 Buddy holly was 22 when he died, he died in a plane crash

[damageplan67]

@SunnyisinCalifornia I knew that but wan't sure of his age when he died.

[Carthsting]

The first song any guitarist should learn, at least after "Mary had a little lamb".

[SexlessNoSex]

Does it take a Woman's voice and demeanor to liberate music?

[jasondixon360]

They just don't make great music like this anymore, it 's sad to see Buddy Holly die young, he always will be one of the best!

[Kraehe]

I'm four years old, and damn, how I would love to have lived in the 1890's.

[airsoftloverusp]

@Kraehe stupid

[0bsessionsxtreme]

@airsoftloverusp He's four, what do u expect? hahaha! xD

[tonylast47]

@Kraehe 1890s? Are you sure mate. Buddy Holly wasn't even born then. Perhaps you meant 1950s and 60s eh!!

[rebeccaabdallah]

"Rock and Roll Specialists". That's something I'd love to put on a business card.

[OjaiRoy]

The unique beat of the drums fit this song perfectly and have always wondered who came up with this idea.

[walt7500]

@OjaiRoy It was Jerry Alison, he had if from another record with conga's.

[OjaiRoy]

@walt7500

Thank you for the info.

[raleighgranprix]

Buddy Holly, Fats Domino and Chuck Berry are twice as good as any Stones and Beatles, heck, even know of any Beatles songs one can dance too? Don't put them in the same category. The Who is a very good band though, kind of like those guys were.

[1970darkstar]

this music is life guys im 14 and im listens to fats domino and all those guys like the beatles damn damn good

[Daveredhunter]

I saw Buddy Holly in England many eyars ago in the Granada Woolwhick, London.

Never forget how he player the guiter..... amazing player and band! Dave

[Lotsoffun111]

Very very good point made by the lady at the start! it would fix so many problems if this happened!

[chrisGTO66]

geez, if the older people back then thought that this was wild, could you imagine what they would have thought if all of a sudden Black Sabbath jumped out on stage and did paranoid???

[b4dmac]

only if buddy holly was still alive.

[warthog549]

im 13 years old and just started gettin into buddy holly and all those guys. Im inpressed

[irish4life69]

@warthog549 i'm 14 & i live for this music, it's amazing.

[guitargold77]

Im putting that on my tax form as occupation,, ROck and ROll Specialist,, sidlining part time in Boogie ometry'

[rudisunset99]

30 years later if you look at Stray Cat's videos you'll see the same combo: guitar, bass and drum. good stuff doesn't change

[nzoneaffe]

ok, i think only the vocals are playback.

If he played the guitar live, man, that is a very very fast down stroke, you can compare it with punk music! ;-)

r.i.p Buddy, you was the greatest rock n roll musician =)

[PeggySueAwesome]

Am I conceited for loving this song?

[rotunda57]

Buddy's electric guitar sounds like a regular acustical in this footage.

[ninelivecat]

The original Rockabilly band

[vanillabean38]

This is where rock n roll began was with buddy ritchie valens elvis and the big bopper even tho I'm an 80's girl still love the oldies my parents introduced me to these fine artist of music

[zorraPR]

Feel just the same! I am an 80's girl too, but in my view if you truly appreciate rock n roll this is the place to start!

[TokuroSaito]

SUPPORT R'n'R !!!!!!

[TheDude7689]

Buddy Holly, simply one of the best who ever lived!

[dergreat]

Dad had his 45 Peggy Sue, we would play it all the time when we were jumping on the bed. I was a fan as a kid big time after I saw Buddy wore glasses for nearsightedness; at one time not many kids wore glasses, and probably like him, I considered them a weakness and a pain in the ass; he was: 20/800, me: 20/500 (thank goodness for plastic lenses now, glass lenses of that caliber weigh a ton). Charles Hardin Holley would have been 73 today. Request a song on your local station in remembrance.

[Bellassett]

"Rock and roll specialists" is cracking me up. That lady is so uptight she could make a corpse look loose.

[texaspilcher]

I like her!

[GatorHoy]

She made a really good point about staying in touch with youth culture so teens don't feel alienated from the older generations though. Too bad people didn't listen.

[dekemasters]

Peggy Sue later married a Roto-Rooter man. Really.

[spacemanfromthepast]

Her full name was Peggy Sue Gerron. She did indeed marry Jerry Allison, the drummer for the Crickets. What better way to win the girl that to help write what is considered one of the most classic songs of all time?

[spudastic]

so who was the rock band to first use face paint?

[texaspilcher]

Men wearing makeup,or like KISS ?

[heyzog]

Never mind about who was married to whom. Buddy married Maria Elena, she was Puerto Rican and he was white southern Baptist. And in the 1950s his marriage was more controversial in the U.S. than Jerry Lee Lewis'. Anyhow, look at the context of this. A very white W.A.S.P. New York upscale crowd and then out come these Southern rockers. Groundbreaking in more ways than one.

Cheers!!

[detroitdee36]

[pixijacktheripper]

i organise the exibits at my local music museum

i'm pretty sure they're correct xx

[pixijacktheripper]

i've just googled it and it seems the museum is wrong :|

[Bellassett]

lolz

[DroolingFanFemme]

actually the title was originally "Cindy Lou", but the drummer was trying to get a girl named "Peggy Sue", so they changed the name so he'd get a chance to score....the two eventually married, and BH paid tribute to her once more in "peggy sue got married".

[zenforaday]

That's a cool story - Buddy Holly an awsome musican and an awsome wingman :-)

[wrighty4manu]

when was this?

[CountingMagpies]

The 1950s, when he was A) Alive and B) Big.

[hopeigiveuhell]

1950's

[jockeochdanne]

i love him!

[redgaridose]

i think the sound on it is poor need adjusting!

[CountingMagpies]

That's because it's from the 50s. -.-

[oldies195]
