[floppyd0g]

I can't believe I'd never heard this before. It's a total gem and has been stuck in my head for the last coupla days.

[BigJH37]

@floppyd0g Check Out Billy Swan's Version.

[MrAlsfan5]

Hey thanks. Great song. Never heard it before.

[BigJH37]

I only every knew the Billy Swan version of this song. Of course I always thought it sounded like Buddy. I just looked up some basic 411 on Swan before & knew that he worked with Waylon, but according to above, this was written long before that. I really like the raw recording here, but I also like the Swan version. The swan version has that crisp 1970s Jeff Lynn feel to it. Not exactly raw rockabilly, but a natural evolution that would do an ingenious writer/engineer like Buddy proud.

[clawawhile1]

perspective. 2 lads making music as best they can, never knew it would be iconic.

bless them to bits

[colfair]

@clawawhile1 SPOT ON !!

[RetroGurl73]

Great Upload! Thanks! :D

[MySandyRomance]

im guessing the 1 person that 'disliked' this prob listens to boybands! #JustSayin

[vikingmanMN]

It's funny to imagine Waylon and Buddy as good friends. LOL

[TheGRJPBeatles]

You know Waylon gave up his seat on that plane for Buddy?

[1441trev]

@TheGRJPBeatles i believe he flipped a coin with ritchie valens for the seat and lost

[simplyscrummy]

@1441trev With the Big Bopper.

[comeonfolks]

Waylon could clap with so much emotion, to bad people can't clap like this anymore. That is real handclapping, that is real talent.

[SanMichelle1]

There is a 3 cd album out called Buddy Holly, Memorial Collection. DECCA B0011337-02. There is a booklet with it that tells you who played what on each track.

I also have this track on three other albums, so it's not that rare. Buddy Holly is still VERY popular over hear in the UK.

[MikeMorgan86]

I work at a Music Archive in Lubbock, and we have a lot of the KLLL stuff. Where did you go about finding this?

[cindynunyun]

@MikeMorgan86 Someone should kick your ass. "Where did you go about finding this?" Why the fuck do you feel you have some right to withold it. I would like to smack you upside your head and take everything you are so stupidly trying to withold.

[MikeMorgan86]

@cindynunyun It's an archive that I work at.. Clearly that means I don't own anything, just catalog and digitize the collections people donate us so that future generations can enjoy them. Furthermore were federally and state funded and operated through Texas Tech University with the goal of preserving the works of various artist in the Southwest.. Thanks for being rude to a complete and utter stranger. For your own good, I hope you're kinder in person.

[laverne135]

And a MIGHTY FINE JOB of hand clapping Waylon Did. RIP WATASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[laverne135]

If Waylon was doing the hand clapping as you stated. He did a mighty "GOOD job of hand clapping. Give credit where credit is due. Will ya' HUH?

[1954WBA]

Great stuff .......... ba

[arinvests]

Nice song , I have not heard before, thanks for posting. Arthur

[TexasRed664]

I really love this version. Too bad that the very end of it got clipped off. Any chance of reposting it complete?

[31bamaguy]

The b&w picture you see was made in a Grande Central Station photo booth just to "capture the moment" as Waylon put it.

[31bamaguy]

Am currently reading Waylon's auotbiography. A must-read for any Waylon Jennnings fan. Buddy asked Waylon and Ray to help him finish the last line and keep time during the recording. I never realized just how close Buddy and Waylon were. Waylon actually stayed with Buddy and Maria at their apptmt in N.Y while he put the rest of the band in a hotel. They were actually best friends when Buddy died. Waylon was Buddy's protege' and was determined to make him a big star.

[rockinrobintweets]

@31bamaguy  Did you know Waylon named one of his older sons... not Shooter.........an older son.. Buddy Dean Jennings...Buddy for Buddy Holly and Dean for James Dean if I remember right. I do know one son is called Buddy as he was in a group picture

[rockinrobintweets]

@31bamaguy There is a Buddy Holy Triube here on youtube taken from a PBS specail, I think where Waylon talks about it a little..you can hear / feel the saddness in his voice and face BUT also the friendship shines thru.

[BritsRComing]

Hey elconejo9! Many, many thanks for this!!!! Had not even heard it previously.

[Suidakkra]

Buddy and Waylon are playing together again, for eternity.

[KarlaMeraVideos]

i love buddy holly! and you. you're the one

[maxpowers518]

This is one of the last songs Buddy recorded and the last one of 1958 (December 27) and was written and recorded in the same day! Even more amazing is that Buddy wrote it in just under 30 minutes!

[doctornoooo]

well what do I know: but it seems to me ludicrous to call Hollys stuff rock and roll: it seems more afusion of classical and cowboy, just as the everly brothers is cowboy and damned if I know, maybe cowboy and Holly, the the Beatles FINALLY turned both of their stuff into Rock and Roll.  I just wonder how differently the Beatles would have sounded had their never been a Holly or Everly Brothers.

[1691bhm]

@doctornoooo ..you've got me puzzled, exactly which artists do YOU think performed rock and roll, because apart from their pre-record deal period The Beatles sure ain't it..!

[imaRoLLingStonzFan]

lol

[imaRoLLingStonzFan]

@doctornoooo WHAT???

[shakeypitt]

@doctornoooo How would they have sounded without Tony Sheridan?

[JasonKT]

I can never stop listening to this.

[JasonKT]

This is just brilliant. Just imagine how good Buddy would have been. He and waylong would have wrote some amazing songs

[dawnjakeleah]

wow, talk about a blast from the past. I wonder where or how far Buddy would have gone if he had not died.

[mrbobevans]

On Larry King, Mick Jagger expressed homage to Buddy Holly - the father of rock n' roll.

[cheryl4got]

DID waylon Jennings play for Buddy Holly And the Crickets or was he just doing :The one

Was Waylon playing with Buddy Holly & the Crickets?

[meanderer06513]

@cheryl4got By the time of Buddy's final tour, he and the original Crickets had split up, and Buddy went on the road with Waylon Jennings on bass, Tommy Allsup on lead guitar and Carl Bunch on drums - they were billed as The Crickets.

[thinkoutsidethebox22]

hoss should definately be singing in this

[groovoblio]

It is Waylon and Ray Corbin (my Dad) in KLLL Studios, Lubbock, TX. My Dad, his Older Brother and father started KLLL. Buddy and Waylon worked for them back in the day. Peace, Darrell Corbin

[SaddleCat1]

I figured it was Waylon doing handclaps.

[SaddleCat1]

Wow. Incredible...Very clean...Thanks.

[acashfan1]

Love Buddy, love Waylon (even though he's not even singing) Thanks.

[1thefallen]

hey i live in the llano =D

[eugenecraddock]

at last this song was published in 1969 with overdubs made by Norman Petty on the lp Giant.

[eugenecraddock]

Waylon just done Handclapping on this one.

[elconejo9]

Check out the video, (1:07) it says in the text that Waylon and Ray Corbin did the handclapping!

Did you even watch the video?

[eugenecraddock]

ok. I like this one. I love all buddy's songs. I don't like too much Waylon jennings music but maybe it's due to my poor english.

[shimokita2]

@elconejo9 - What's the trouble? You reply like eugenecraddock said something wrong!

Jesus, man.

[TheDJGrandPa]

@eugenecraddock It says he also wrote it :P

[mezansky]

fan-tastic

[phonicwheel]

Bubby Holly nevr made a bad record

[mezansky]

absolutely

[basslinewobbla08]

[cheerydavie]

[bob94230]

I think that my Buddy's favorite. GREAT

[ThaiTaxiDeutschland]

Very rare ...!!! Thanks

[TucumcariTimmy]

Buddy was & is one of the greatest rockers of all time. Waylon had a certain overall laid back learned aura. The 2 must be whoopin' it up right now.

[ChrisPelinka]

GREAT!
