  • Buddy Holly was the King, but he wasn't around for the coronation so they picked the next best man.

  • Man If buddy holly never passed at 22 he would've been one of the best artist of alltime

  • Buddy Holly. The original raver.

  • Rave on Buddy.

  • Some of you really need to enjoy each artist for what they gave us instead of all this playground nonsense.

    Buddy is my faverourite, but I love all the ol' rock n rollers!

  • Buddy Holly king of kings in just a few years he did what gods couldn't even pull off his music will live

  • I can't imagine the number of fantastic songs of Buddy Holly if...

  • With all due respect to Elvis (and he deserves tons of respect), there are a few others from the fifties who were every bit as great, and in some ways, maybe even more so. In this list I include Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, and Jerry Lee Lewis.

  • @PreCodeMovies Don't forget Chuck Berry or the Everly Brothers.

  • Vert good sound. Chuck.

  • Mr. Holly's talent is way before his time.  Awesome.

  • Born to entertain !!!!

  • For me this is the definition of music. Artists playing their own instruments and using their natural voices. As opposed to todays fake auto-tuned bubblegum bullshit.

  • Regarding Mr. Holly, I'm gonna borrow this one from Schumann: "Hat's off gentlemen, a genius"--taken way too soon from our midst.

  • the pilot was YOUNGER than buddy....not enough experience for those conditions.

  • Absolute tradgedy 23 is no age to die Buddy was just coming into his peak when he was took from music... rave on Buddy rave on

  • @chrisk893 It was purely a desire to go faster & avoid the discomfort of a

    freezing cold bus. Buddy was so young guess he didn't realize the danger

    of flying in a small plane in a blizzard. The pilot should have been smarter,

    however. They dug up J.P. Richardson, (Big Bopper) a few years ago

    because his greedy-ass son thought they buried him in his trademark leopard

    skin coat, (they didn't), & the Bopper was in amazing shape after

    being underground 50-odd years, but no score for the kid.

  • What a loss to the world - the night the music died as Don McLean said. The legend lives on and on.

  • One of my all time favorite 'real' rock and roll songs! I loved Buddy and am from that era. I remember vividly the day he,Ritchie Valens and the Big Boppeir were killed in that plane crash. That's what Don McLean's "Bye Bye Miss American Pie!, was based on. . .

  • This one is for my nana :) Ruth Stephens James

  • WHAT CAN YOU SAY BUT THE BEST HE WAS SO GOOD ]

  • Happy Birthday Buddy. Congrads on the Hollywood walk of Fame,

  • No one can do that "hic-up" sound like Buddy Holly.

  • I agree with you all and I have the 45's. I was born '54 but this is the music I adore. I still play these on my record player.

  • Buddy was and still is the KING, rip Buddy

  • beautiful cars, pin ups, guys with style and awsome music. only in 1950-1959 :/

  • You have just listened to one of the Greatest Singers of all time. There will never be another Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Eddie Cochran, Or Ritchie Valens. Those are shoes that no-one can ever fill. But they left us their music and memories to cherrish.

  • Rick999 I was about 5 weeks away from 14. Never forget that day. Spent a nite in Clear Lake Iowa in1961.

  • this is a true classic example of....."a song does not have to be musically complicated to be good."

  • Introducing one of the worlds greatest singers, artists, genius, and legends.......BUDDY HOLLY!!!!!! >_< <3

  • Always will be no. 1 RIP Buddy

  • If this song don't make you feel good and give you chills, something wrong !!!!!

  • Buddy Holly is a legend. =) x

  • The greatest rock and roll singer/songwriter..undisputed.

  • I was 2 days short of my 14th b-day when Buddy and the others died,I still remember hearing about it.

  • 15 years old, listened to 40's 50's rock n roll since i was 13, love it

  • I like the 50's Rock 'N' Roll!!!

  • this 1950's rock & roll is Great!

  • My favorite song.

  •  The real king of rock....elvis just lived longer !!!!!

  • the beginning is epic

    the rest of the song also

  • 63 and I know all the words:)

  • i had not listened ta this guy until today when i gt the same style glasses... thank u BLINDNESS FOR HELPING ME FIND MORE GREAT MUSIC!!!!

  • 8 people aren't raving on

  • im 29 love buddy, pure music, long live buddy

  • timeless, 53 years old and still sounds as good as anything since.

  • The thing that made this song for me was the Holly hickup at the start. If a cover doesn't start with that it just doesn't seem authentic.

  • he was definitely influential in the rock n roll genre, but a lot of people don't know that he coined the term for what we now consider a "rave" :P

    a rave was used to describe any wild or crazy party, and it's origin stems from this song ^.^

    i'm an avid raver, and an avid listener of rock n roll. buddy holly ftw!!!!

  • A genius, sorely missed!

  •  5 people deaf

  • Genious, we're lucky to have heard him.

  • A fly landed on the touchpad and moved the cursor to dislike for 3 people

  • just one of the classics buddy holly wrote and recorded.what an influence the man was,world wide.

  • MAFIA II

  • Buddy Holly, there is a reason people still seek out your music... for me it is you were 100% AMERICAN!

  • Rave on, it's a crazy feeling :3

  • mafia 2^^

  • Oh my god Buddy Holly should've been the Real KING!!!

  • @shockkatie3 IN MY EYES HE IS

  • @shockkatie3 He was. He was the real king. *hug*

  • i can hear his guitar is perfect

  • @lecel88 Well, the intro is going to be a lot like Barely Legal.

  • buddy holly is acees in my book i love rave on

  • thumbs up if you think a buddy holly rock band game is a good idea

  • @TheThenerdanotor12 yeah the rock band makers should make a buddy holly & brian setzer edition of rock band i'd defiently buy it

  • Comment removed

  • RIP legend

    

  • Played Mafia 2 for the past few days, every time this comes on the radio, I crank up the volume and drive around for the duration, singing along. awesome.

  • @Titanicluver321 me too! I love what he did with it.

  • SOOOOO much better than music today!!! (:

    I can't go a day without listening to Buddy!

    Being 12, No one i really know, knows who Buddy Holly is!

    What is wrong with people???

  • @JiggyMonster98 I felt the same way in 1978 : )

  • i am 13 and buddy holly is one of my idols and the beatles

  • jules' version is up now!!! check it out!

  • I'm fourteen and to be honest, I say buddy holly beats every crappy mainstream artist out there. I love his music.

  • @pieandbob1 Thank you for letting us know that you are 14. Now that we know you're young and appreciate Buddy Holly, we're going to shower you with compliments.

  • way better than mainstream auto tune

  • Thumbs up if you ended up here looking for M.Ward's version of the song.

  • Julian <3

  • @lecel88 i have a feeling its gonna sound kinda like hawaii aloha by the strokes. not sure though

  • can't wait for the Julian Casablancas cover!

  • @lecel88 probably ruined it.

  • the one and only.

  • @lecel88 I know! I think it's gonna be pretty cool :) I'm looking for what She and Him and My Morning Jacket do for the LP too!

  • classic x

  • My favorite :D

  • lovin it :-)

  • I was born in '81 and grew up listening to my Dad's album of Buddy's greatest hits among other great selections from the 50's and 60's. I am forever indebted to my parents for having a great love for amazing music and a collection of records to match it.

  • one of my best buddy holly song...

  • khreat!!!!!!!(7)

  • MY FAVORITE FOREVER!

  • MAFIA II BABY!!

  • why the fuck does music suck so bad these days. I mean every teenager around me YEA JUSTIN BEIBER AWRIGHT! :l I was born to damn late...

  • @haxor758 The radio certainly sucks, I haven't listened to it since about 2002. I've been doing some underground searching and I've found some nice stuff. It appears as if we haven't had a creative movement since the 90s with alternative rock, I think these things tend to happen. With the exception of Buddy Holly, Elvis, and black RnB blues musicians, the 50s wasn't such a great decade for music. People considered Buddy Holly's music, "negro music"-which is sad and racist.

  • 229 with hearing, 1 without.

  • This is one of my all time favorite tunes, funny thing is every time I've ever tried to request in on the radio they never have it!

  • @beezle6669 That's so sad! In a day and age where music is so easily and freely available, they can't find a classic buddy holly song?? It took me two seconds to find this one, they're just being closed minded and trying to pander to ignorant listeners.

  • the 1 one person that disliked, was in the plane

  • @Tarn1968 That´s pretty obvious. Who will remember a little singer kid 50 years later? I´m sure they´ll still remember Buddy in 1000 years ;)

  • @Tarn1968

  • This song makes me think of the movie "Pleasantville" guess that shows how young i am :) but hey i can still appreciate a great oldies song like this!

  • @Tarn1968 Buddy!!

  • some sad lonely individual gave this a thumbs down,booooooooooooo on them

    lol

  • @50sJohnny Trouble is there are still far too many people who would rather listen to dull, tuneless rubbish when it comes to music.

    REAL music comes along very rarely nowadays, Buddy Holly simply was ( to like minded people he will ALWAYS be ) a TRUE legend.

  • @50sJohnny You're being polite,You should've said 'Some Sad IDIOT' gave it a Thumbs Down!

  • @Tarn1968 Buddy Holley by far!!!!!!

  • @Tarn1968 who's bieber? buddy is 100 times better!

  • @nollie93enter

    How do you know Buddy is 100 times better if you don't know who Beiber is?

    Tit !

  • @QueenReigns1 it was meant sarcastic, it's just that music today sucks monkeyballs compared to this. :p

  • @Tarn1968

  • The Great buddy Holly was so far ahead of his time that it is scary.

  • There's only one problem with this song . . . . it's to short!!!

  • One of my favorite Buddy Holly tunes - RIP Buddy!

  • BUDDY HOLLY IS ROCK N ROLL

  • Ohhh great!

  • There's a whole generation of oldies, like me, in their 60's who still sing along to Buddy holly. Fantastic posts on you tube many thanks.

  • pretty hard to imagine we all like something. No thumbs down yet on this. I want to know how someone gives this a thumbs down. Someone who thinks they are better than Buddy, no doubt!

  • pretty hard to imagine we all like something. No thumbs down yet on this. I want to know how someone gives this a thumbs down. Someone who thinks they are better than Buddy, no doubt!

  • @encooler1 As an extremely meticulous and passionate music collector I find it annoying that people are learning of this music in such ways but at the same time they are learning it. Guess its not all bad!!!!!

  • @rob1tnt How on earth can anyone not know this song though? I've known it since I can remember, these are classic songs, you don't have to go out and collect them to learn them.
