just try and find ricky nelson on youtube anymore ...you cant !!!the estate saw to many likes and veiws and got greedy ...now we will never see him live anymore and the same will haqppen to buddy!!!!
@1d3j8m But of course Buddy stole his style (voice) from Elvis, and then Bobby Vee copied what Buddy did after his death, and of course what most dont understand is that Buddy's Career was practically over in the USA by the time of the plane crash and he was only getting top 10 hits in the UK, and the only other number 1 hit he had other than "That'll Be The Day"
@1d3j8m was "It Doesn't Matter Anymore" which only went n.1 in the UK and only number 13 in the U.S immediatly after his death, now of course Buddy could have made a comeback cause he was only 22 when he died, but it would have been very much unlikely with the British Invasion hitting just about 5 years after his death, and The British Invasion killed much bigger names careers like Pat Boone and Ricky Nelson and also Elvis career was hurt by it as well, him being drafted didnt help either though
Supposedly Ed Sullivan didnt want him to sing Oh Boy, and purposely had Buddy turned down. He can be seen at the beginning of the song(16secs) trying in vain to turn his guitar up. I read that Buddy refused to appear on his show a third time after this. Nonetheless an amazingly good performance, and Buddys hand goes beserk on the solo! lol
@TheSomethingIsh I'm taking a guess at this, but one that's educated: because Mr Sullivan did not want him to play the song in the first place, and secondly because buddy wanted his guitar loud enough to get "the sound". That "sound" (distortion, or very light distortion, at the time) was not well received by anyone else but teens and musicians.
you have to remember that what Buddy was doing was completely revolutionary, and rock was still "evil".
@QuiltedPine I'd like to continue with this thought because now it's annoyed me to a higher degree. In that time, any music that was either too fast, too loud, or where the singer was really singing with energy (ie not sleeping) or all of those, was "the Devil's music". Add to that Elvis' hip moves which obviously was so flamboyant and suggestive that little girls would almost be automatically raped at a distance if they viewed such a thing. All this taken seriously.
@QuiltedPine Very seriously. Which is how people like Ed Sullivan took it. Let's not forget J L Lewis whose attitude was off the top, not to mention his marriage to his cousin. To stick to the topic of "devil's music" (rock and roll) it is hard to believe what muscially could have been perceived as evil. Songs in a major key? up tempo beat? electric guitars barely distorted? Playing OPEN CHORDS?
@QuiltedPine Buddy's parents certainly didn't consider the music their son played to be "evil." Yes, they were devout Baptists, but that didn't stop them from supporting his career. They encouraged his music lessons from an early age, and even gave him song ideas later on. For instance, Mrs. Holley helped Buddy write "Maybe Baby." Not everyone was adamantly opposed to the new music.
@heb1114 I did not know that. But I do remember that his parents were supportive of his music, although in the movie (I don't know how realistic it is, but it sure looks decent) it is portrayed as them being tired of his musical endeavours, which obviously were only causing him trouble.
I wonder how that rock music would have been perceived in other catholic countries had it had a chance to be heard there. (unless it did throuhg the grace of shortwave radio, but I doubt it)
@QuiltedPine I've never seen the movie, but have heard that it is full of errors. According to Mrs. Holley, "We were behind Buddy 100%. We were very anxious for him to make a career as a singer, and we were his biggest fans. The people who made this movie were supposed to consult with us, but we never saw the script at all. It just didn't seem to be the story of Buddy's life, not to anybody who knew him."
@TheSomethingIsh euh, no, that was just sarcasm! lol re-read it and you'll understand... Everything I enumerated is the antithesis of evil, which was my point in saying that I understand how this music was perceived to be evil, it just doesn't make any sense. It obviously didn't sound evil to the young people!
@QuiltedPine Yep...they called it "The Devil's Music" back then! LOL! I think the most hilarious example of '50's paranoia is when someone called it "a Communist conspiracy to corrupt our American youth!" Hilarious now...but ironically, they were dead serious back then!
young people don´t know what they been missing.
