To a lot of people who don't know, this explains why a lot of Buddy Holly's songs were released as the "Crickets", not as "Buddy Holly", as you heard, he couldn't record and release any of his songs he did at Decca for 5 years, including That'll Be The Day. So technically and legally, That'll Be The Day was a "cover" done by the Crickets.
This is remarkable. I think one of the songs being discussed here is Thatll Be the Day. Which Holly did release on another label and Decca never objected. Wish who posted this would give us more info. Buddy was much more savvy then alot of you think.
Just more evidence to what a gentleman and a class act Buddy was. So sad that his career was cut so short. He was so young and so talented. I just wish it would have been in God's plan to leave him with us a lot longer.
Buddy seemed very polite and calm for someone who was getting the raw end of it. The other guy was pretty rude in my opinion and kept cutting him off. Would love to have heard more. Thank you for sharing.
This was crazy, this was his music, and if Decca didn't release them, why didn't they let him record them for someone else. It was only because Decca was gonna use for someone else. That's bull.
@BillySnicker The five songs were "Girl On My Mind", "Rock Around With Ollie Vee", "I'm Changing All Those Changes", "Don't Come Back Knocking", and the original version of "That'll Be The Day". All five were eventually issued with several other Decca recordings by Holly, not long after Buddy (with the Crickets) had a hit with a new version of "...Day".
@LandondeeL That is, the album by Holly was issued by Decca. The title (of course) was THAT'LL BE THE DAY, it was later reissued as THE GREAT BUDDY HOLLY.
@thEannoyingE Yes a reel-to-reel recorder was used, with a special type of mike, attached to the reciever end of the phone with a suction cup, and plugged into the mike jack.
@LandondeeL That's pretty inventive for them back in '57, even though this technology was being used to record sessions of patients with doctors back then. :)
Could give a shit less what the guy's name is on the other end...........Buddy didn't miss a beat with his yes-sirs' & manners. Pretty sure here is a TEXTBOOK example of MONEY/POSITION DOESN'T EQUAL CLASS. Pretty sure it will be a long time before I can listen to again.
No you can't have those...you are history but we are going to milk the shit out of you anyway. That is exactly what happend. What a corrupt business, hope it got better over the years but I doubt it. As one record executive of the 50's told his artists, if you want royalties, go to England....nice.
@clawawhile1 His Family said that if he had got the money he would have not flown. he could have rented a bus with a heater that did not break down. Or he might have just said No because he wanted to be home with his wife. That is how the biz is. they do not care about the entertainer. Michael Jackson said it the best about all of them and the government . They don't really care about us. The day the music died all because of cheap skates.His money was tied up and they did not care
What I don't understand is if Paul Cohen was Milt Gabler's superior, why was Buddy able to get to Cohen directly, but only got Gabler's secretary? The opposite should have been the case.
@SteveWallsable As I had already mentioed below, Decca would release a cash-in album with those 5 songs, along with 2 released singles and flip sides, along with 2 other previously unreleased Decca recordings, for a cash-in album THAT'LL BE THE DAY.
For those who hate Norman Petty, he was still Buddy's savior, regardlessly. He allowed Buddy the freedom he needed to make his own music. DECCA was incredibly harsh to Buddy, going as far as to say "That'll Be the Day" was the worst song ever. Thank God he got out of that.
Too cool. Gotta remember tho, that guy is a shark, Buddy knew he was recording so he's smart enough to be VERY polite, but either way, he got screwed by Decca. So cool to hear his voice tho,its like he could be here right now ( i wish) thanks for posting!
Priceless piece of Rock n Roll History , Great that Buddy had the sence to record this phone call. High Tech for 1957. and yes you really hear his natural good manners.
Thats BS! Buddy should have had full rights to those recordings since it was HIS voice on those recordings. Legally, a persons voice on a recording is like their image in print. Nobody else has the rights to that image. The same with voice. He should have sued the pants off these damn parasites.
@coyclown It can't be that simple in the music business - if that was the case, every singer would own all of their own music just because it's their voice. And what about the other voices on the record - backup singers, etc.
Pulchrakia & coyclown - Laws for protecting artists have changed significantly since this time. It is unfortunate that Buddy along w/countless other artists had to be the martyrs of that battle. However, as both a musician and a businessman, I can see both sides. The idea then never was that artists would become independently wealthy, only the label, agent(s), etc. If they put up 100% of the risk in the cost of recording, promoting, etc, they should make 90% of the profit.
Witness the success of someone like Levi Strauss making money off of the gold miners to see how this works. A good businessman does not care about the dreams, just the profit. Buddy was actually smart enough to realize this too and that's what this call was all about. We hear a LOT of talk today about the evils of the wealthy and big business, but if the alternative is govt having all the rights and doling them out to us, the meek citizens as the "law" sees fit, that is the WRONG direction.
@coyclown I dunno. Decca had Buddy under contractual obligation during the sessions. Decca paid for the sessions. They owned the tapes. I'm not saying it was fair, but it was what it was...
@cawkanos : The 5 songs were: Rock Around With Ollie Vee, I'm Changing All Those Changes, Girl On My Mind, Ting-A-Ling, and the orignal recording of That'll Be The Day.
That's the way the business is,recording companies can do anything they want,take it from myself,it's always been a backstabbing business.Sincerely,The Original Chevelles
After this phone call Buddy went to Brunswick Records and re-recorded his songs his way , one being That'll Be The Day. Decca went to sue but guess what?.. Decca owned Brunswick. Buddy won.
Buddy comes across as a real gentleman(which we all knew anyway) and cohen a total pr**k!
@DMacksGold Exactly! I bet you anything that is why Buddy is so calm here and not losing his temper at all. If this was presented as evidence at a trial for example, he's gonna look like a saint and the other guy a demon.
Buddy kept his cool and was trying to just get on with his career. He was a total gentleman while Cohen was a dismissive Dick. "Why don't you let me hear them first"? "Let me see if I can help you out?" What an arrogant , no talent prick. Cohen wasn't fit to lick the dust off of Buddy's shoes! Is Cohen still alive? Are there other phone conversations in existence that can be heard? The quality on this one is exceptional for it's age.
This is exactly how the music business still works. Listen to what a gentleman Buddy remains in spite of knowing that he's being SHAFTED by Decca. It really offends me! None of these people were/are fit to polish Buddy's shoes.
Buddy was recording this call, from Jerry Allison's house. Buddy was assembling LEGAL evidence that Decca was being uncooperative and LYING, okay. But here's the side of the story you don't know: In this call, Buddy is LYING HIS ASS OFF. He has ALREADY cut the NEW version of "That'll Be The Day," and Buddy secretly took it to Brunswick Records -- a SUBSIDIARY of Decca. Brunswick released it as a single almost immediately, and Decca COULDN'T SUE. Who would they sue? Themselves? Genius.
@FashionIsMyHeart104 There were a couple of songs, some of which that Buddy would record for another company anyway (That'll Be The Day, Rock Around With Ollie Vee) and I'm pretty sure none of the work that went unreleased on DECCA went released until after he died.
Cohen is supposed to be part of the Priestly tribe of Levi; however as history shows, the tribe of Levi were infiltrated by Kenites and that is clearly what you have on this recording – a son of Cain posing as a Jew.
@FashionIsMyHeart104 After Buddy had a hit with his re-recording of "That'll Be The Day" for Brunswick, Decca released an album combining the songs that Decca had already released, along with those songs mentioned in the phone call, in a cash-in album "THAT'LL BE THE DAY". It was later re-issued in modified form as "THE GREAT BUDDY HOLLY".
@marktaylortexas he died from a heart attack in 1979. i wish it had happened sooner and i hope it was a slow and painful death for that cock-juggling thundercunt!
"Your Talking To The Boss Right Now" What a fucking asshole Paul Cohen was and then Holly ends the call with "Thank You A Lot" Guess what Cohen your a fucking memory and Buddy Holley has far outlived you and has become a pillar of music FOREVER.
Cohen was a worthless carpet bagging piece of shit. Remarkable that he is in the CW Hall Of Fame. That old bastard thought he had Holly by the balls but Buddy went to Brunswick a subsidiary of DECCA and released the songs with them.
The unscrupulous music business. the artists in those days got ripped off by the music business owners and we know their backgrounds by their names Paul "Cohen". Bunch of no talent shysters took advantage of everybody.
This is very much an aural snapshot of the times: Notice that Buddy had to place the call through a Long Distance Operator (area codes weren't in use then). Also, when Buddy gives his phone number, he uses an exchange, in this case "Porter". All-digit phone numbers weren't introduced as of yet either.
@wellmanfoster why is he a prick? he's doing his job. buddy was being naive, and he didn't read his contract, and he should've had a lawyer make this call, shows how young and naive buddy was
Well there was the little matter of copyright which if buddy wrote the songs according to law he had a right to do what he pleased with those ,Contract or no contract .. As far as Paul is concerned he was talking out of both sides of his mouth ...
@picassoui You're thinking intellectual property right, copyright has to be filed.
Truth of this matter is Cohen owned the tapes and the material that they contained. Charles Holley, on the other hand owned the intellectual property rights to any original material that appeared on the tapes. If Buddy had taken this to court he could have got an injunction against Decca releasing the tapes but he saved lawyer fees and had them released by a Decca subsidiary.
@controversyking It has nothing to do with this video. Lets keep Buddy Holly and Israel separate. If you have a comment on Israel, go to a Middle East youtube clip and post your comment there.
The recording industry--then and now--has always been infested with Jew snakes like Cohen. The notorious Stan Polley was a classic example. His complete reaming of the '70s group Badfinger resulted in at least two suicides, and the band members becoming destitute. Holly was a classic good 'ol boy, and is in sharp contrast to Cohen here.
@bootsiebanty you are a bigot snake.... and more than that you ruin things for the rest of your humanity with your hatred. I am sure Buddy Holly would think much of the same of you - if he were alive today.
@jonvil2009 Save it, shit-for-brains. I could name at least 20
more like Cohen. Saul Zaentz is a good example. He cheated CCR and John
Fogarty out of millions. The songs, "Zanz Kant Danz", "The Old Man Down the Road", and "Mr. Greed" from Fogerty's album Centerfield are thinly veiled slams at Zaentz. Lyric from a Fogarty song: "Zanz can't dance but he'll steal your money.
@bootsiebanty Oh that is why a slimeball like yourself uses the N word so loosely? You are just plain miserable. I cannot imagine how you might be a very happy person at all.... Just please go away...
Sounds very much like you approve of thievery and support shysters, all of course while being a shit-for-brains. Have you been waiting on the edge of your chair for 8 hours waiting from a response from me? LOL!
Most of the world has issues with kkkosher kkklaners like you, little turd.
Maybe you could move to Israel and get in on the killing of Arab babies and stealing more land, instead of spending time with the lameass kkkosher kkklan remarks and defending thieves and criminals, little turd.
@bootsiebanty Hey moron - you shouldnt be looking at a Buddy Holly video or any kind. Yknow Buddy was a race mixer. Thats right. He married a latina...
One other thing. Rocknroll was invented by African Americans. In fact, Buddy was one of the first non African American performers who consciously wanted to emulate and create an African American fan base.
Now that you know what your heritage is - you obnoxious hatefilled ignoramous - please go crawl back under the rock you came from.
@bootsiebanty You seem to have really simplistic views about people with regard to their background. I am wondering how you learned to think the way you do. You don't seem to have any subtlety in your view of people (ie. as individuals). This type of thinking where you denigrate a whole group of people would be laughable if it did not cause such harm in society.
@jonvil2009 You kkkosher kkklanners are always funny. There is nothing subtle about the Jewish State's bombs and bullets, nor the Jewish State's officially sponsored denigration (and genocide attempts) of an entire people.
Look, I'm a huge Buddy Holly Fan, and I don't wanna see the discussion board to become a debate about the Middle East. Buddy was a great musician and he deserves the recognition. It's not Israel's fault that Decca screwed him over.
@poesc Okay, fair enough, but Cohen is a big part of this call, and his ilk were a huge part of the industry, still are. But I will respect the Holly vid and not post any more here.
Thank god the new record "industry" has all but eliminated the fat white guys who stole from all these artists over the, oh, 80 previous years, ESPECIALLY the old blues and RnB guys, who routinely had their royalties stolen. A glimpse into the past. The terrible past ... But it's nice to hear BH as a real gentleman, even if he was getting the runaround from a shyster.
Oh MAN! Poor Buddy! And he never ONCE lost his cool even though he was being screwed over. I feel his pain cuz people look for any opportunity to walk all over a nice and/or trustworthy person, it's disgusting. Indeed this is a great piece of history, thank you for sharing this.
Very rare indeed! Another prime example of how the big record labels used to screw their artist out of money whenever they could back in the 50s. Great stuff to listen to.
Sad, So sad that a great talent like Buddy would have to deal with that.

This is very much an aural snapshot of the times: Notice that Buddy had to place the call through a Long Distance Operator (area codes weren't in use then). Also, when Buddy gives his phone number, he uses an exchange, in this case "Porter". All-digit phone numbers weren't introduced as of yet either.

@wellmanfoster why is he a prick? he's doing his job. buddy was being naive, and he didn't read his contract, and he should've had a lawyer make this call, shows how young and naive buddy was

Well there was the little matter of copyright which if buddy wrote the songs according to law he had a right to do what he pleased with those ,Contract or no contract .. As far as Paul is concerned he was talking out of both sides of his mouth ...

@picassoui You're thinking intellectual property right, copyright has to be filed.
Truth of this matter is Cohen owned the tapes and the material that they contained. Charles Holley, on the other hand owned the intellectual property rights to any original material that appeared on the tapes. If Buddy had taken this to court he could have got an injunction against Decca releasing the tapes but he saved lawyer fees and had them released by a Decca subsidiary.
Ma Holley didn't raise no fool.

@controversyking It has nothing to do with this video. Lets keep Buddy Holly and Israel separate. If you have a comment on Israel, go to a Middle East youtube clip and post your comment there.

The recording industry--then and now--has always been infested with Jew snakes like Cohen. The notorious Stan Polley was a classic example. His complete reaming of the '70s group Badfinger resulted in at least two suicides, and the band members becoming destitute. Holly was a classic good 'ol boy, and is in sharp contrast to Cohen here.

@bootsiebanty you are a bigot snake.... and more than that you ruin things for the rest of your humanity with your hatred. I am sure Buddy Holly would think much of the same of you - if he were alive today.

@jonvil2009 Save it, shit-for-brains. I could name at least 20
more like Cohen. Saul Zaentz is a good example. He cheated CCR and John
Fogarty out of millions. The songs, "Zanz Kant Danz", "The Old Man Down the Road", and "Mr. Greed" from Fogerty's album Centerfield are thinly veiled slams at Zaentz. Lyric from a Fogarty song: "Zanz can't dance but he'll steal your money.

Most of the world has issues with kkkosher kkklaners like you, little turd.
Maybe you could move to Israel and get in on the killing of Arab babies and stealing more land, instead of spending time with the lameass kkkosher kkklan remarks and defending thieves and criminals, little turd.

@bootsiebanty Hey moron - you shouldnt be looking at a Buddy Holly video or any kind. Yknow Buddy was a race mixer. Thats right. He married a latina...
One other thing. Rocknroll was invented by African Americans. In fact, Buddy was one of the first non African American performers who consciously wanted to emulate and create an African American fan base.
Now that you know what your heritage is - you obnoxious hatefilled ignoramous - please go crawl back under the rock you came from.

@jonvil2009 You love and support bigots, little turd. Suggestion: get a job.

@bootsiebanty You seem to have really simplistic views about people with regard to their background. I am wondering how you learned to think the way you do. You don't seem to have any subtlety in your view of people (ie. as individuals). This type of thinking where you denigrate a whole group of people would be laughable if it did not cause such harm in society.
jonvil2009 1 year ago
@jonvil2009 You kkkosher kkklanners are always funny. There is nothing subtle about the Jewish State's bombs and bullets, nor the Jewish State's officially sponsored denigration (and genocide attempts) of an entire people.

Look, I'm a huge Buddy Holly Fan, and I don't wanna see the discussion board to become a debate about the Middle East. Buddy was a great musician and he deserves the recognition. It's not Israel's fault that Decca screwed him over.

@poesc Okay, fair enough, but Cohen is a big part of this call, and his ilk were a huge part of the industry, still are. But I will respect the Holly vid and not post any more here.

Thank god the new record "industry" has all but eliminated the fat white guys who stole from all these artists over the, oh, 80 previous years, ESPECIALLY the old blues and RnB guys, who routinely had their royalties stolen. A glimpse into the past. The terrible past ... But it's nice to hear BH as a real gentleman, even if he was getting the runaround from a shyster.

Oh MAN! Poor Buddy! And he never ONCE lost his cool even though he was being screwed over. I feel his pain cuz people look for any opportunity to walk all over a nice and/or trustworthy person, it's disgusting. Indeed this is a great piece of history, thank you for sharing this.

Very rare indeed! Another prime example of how the big record labels used to screw their artist out of money whenever they could back in the 50s. Great stuff to listen to.
