[TheLuckyman1999]

[mickkey7]

Buddy Holly was 6'3 inches tall

[jjeepster02]

@mickkey7 it's Holley not Holly right ?

[stevewhu]

@jjeepster02 His born name was Holley yes. But his artist name changed to ''Holly''. Buddy was just a name he was called as a kid. His real name was Charles Hardin Holley.

@mickkey7 He sure was a tall teenager.

Love Buddy, Brilliat song!!

This song is great! Lemmy did a cool cover of this with Headcat, and even though he's Lemmy, you can't beat the original!

[romber58]

This lyric is so appropriate to me at this time.Thank god for poets,and the fact that it is an upbeat song is so clever and good.

[drieg59]

Had this 45 as a kid. This was the "B" side to "Think it Over" but this tune really sent me (old timer's expression) the first time I heard it. It was really unusual to hear a piano, rather than guitar driven song from Buddy. Well done Vi Petty (piano player) this really had a fabulous vibe.

[biggerthanacadillac]

@drieg59 Amen to that..Buddy's gloriously UNIQUE voice with SUCH wistful lyrics; beautiful. This song ~ as with SO many of Buddy's masterpieces ~ ALWAYS 'chokes me up'; 'we' were SO very fortunate to have him as 'our voice' way back then, SO fortunate that I feel truly sorry for those who weren't part of the MAGIC of the late 50's..and then 3/2/59 the AWFUL day the music died.

Norm. & Vi. [NorVaJak] had MUCH to answer for but they did Buddy justice too as did Geo. Martin to Beatles later.

Treasured and cherished............forever. Reminds me of someone who loves this song so very much............"lost in fool's paradise..........".

Thanks for posting the video.

I have grown up around buddy holly and some old singers. I have to admit he is one of the best. x

[mikeyousofine]

Thank you Nancy for this one.

One of the greatest singers of his era.

Thank you buddyfan57 for posting

One of my favorites when I was in grade school. A 1957 song...."I still get lost........in a fool's paradise...:.

[sparwood8]

I remember the day our school got the news he was killed with Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. The night before their plane crashed just after leaving Fargo N.D. on a very snowy night. Not a dry eye in the whole school...

The thing is, with Buddy Holly, is he was unique in voice and style. So sad...

5'-11" is tall??

Hey, thanks for posting this 'vid

[jmen4ever]

@sparwood8 It was The Fargo/moorhead area they were going to. My cousen went to the concert there that was still held. She still remembers that show.

[formichinoo]

Texans seem to be taller than most, Buddy at 21 was a giant with his talent alone.

[felixbautista]

Thanks for finally posting this nostalgic song.. reminding my of my younger days.

[vincentutopia]

mandypjackson.....Sorry but BH was only 7ft 3 & 3/4's...Not many people know that.....A real GIANT !!

[vincentutopia]

Yep ! I'm still lost, and still looking...One day, I'll find you !

[elmargomt]

[buddy59rocks]

[buddyfan57]

[buddy59rocks]

i love this song! was buddy holly tall?

[buddyfan57]

idk i read on a website that he was 5 ft and 11 and half inches tall but idk if that was true i think it is

[buddy59rocks]

wow really never knew always good musicians are tall

[mandypjackson]

i like the first photo it shows buddy holly at his full 7ft6 inch height, most of the photos of buddy with other people often have him stood in a 15inch hole in the ground so he looks shorter
