Buddy Holly-Crying Waiting Hoping

[robbsnyder3]

Heck, Nikki Sullivan looks like Buddy's brother or cousin. Buddy & the Crickets are the Shizz!

[AkiroXKE]

I only was familiar with the Beatles' version of this song till now. I hate to say it,

but I think George played the solo a little better.

[62Elvis]

Elvis respected buddy too they were pals. Elvis was saddened over buddys death.

[LUCKYJ3SS3]

@62Elvis :o i didint know elvis and buddy were alive in the same time lol thats cool

[62Elvis]

@LUCKYJ3SS3 yea if i recall right he met buddy @a gig in lubbock, tx in '55

[mrbobevans]

@62Elvis What was Buddy's relationship w/ Roy Orbison? I think they are almost the same age. They writing styles influenced so many musicians.

[62Elvis]

@mrbobevans buddy & roy were friends too; roy & elvis respected ea other too.

[TheMr1911]

...What? this old song..*Breaks down Crying*.... *Sniff* god we miss you Buddy!!

[Frsng1]

Imigane what else this man would have done had he lived!! What a waste!

[nbafanfreak23]

@Frsng1 its not a waste. look at what he did with what little time he had. its a tragedy

[Frsng1]

@nbafanfreak23 Oh, I agree--I meant his death was such a matter of what ELSE could have been. 

[CainmosniMirrored]

@Frsng1 Same with Hank Williams. They both died at the peak of their careers.

[gamer9302]

@Frsng1 Would have kicked Elvis' ass.

[Pinkpearls38]

Hey little fun fact the reason the beatles are called the beatles, is because they looked up to buddy holly and the crickets so to keep that respect they named themselves a bug name like the crickets, so we get the beatles!!

[almostTheDevil]

@Pinkpearls38 Haha they LOOKED UP...

[talory]

This is the "That'll be the Day" video from the Ed Sullivan Show. Shame on you for thinking that people wouldn't know that it's a sham.

[blueticecho]

Please note that Buddy Holley never heard the lead guitar on this Norman Petty added this with Jimmy Gilmer on guitar with his fireballs. Long after Holley died.

[vikingmanMN]

Nikki didn't like the strain of road traveling tours...so I was told.

[gloheart1]

Great sing by Buddy Holly.

Shame he passed at a young age.

Thank you for your upload

*****stars

[aurolucio]

Very beautiful video. Congratulations!

[Ljslovenc]

wow 1.04 minut is great guitar playng

[Babillonia]

This is a cover version. Thanks though :)

[mowery25]

@Babillonia its not a cover, its definitely Buddy Holly. It just wasn't recorded by Buddy in a studio.

[09bnunez]

BUDDY PUT HIS MARK ON THE NEW SOUND OF THE 50S[ROCK& ROLL]....ONE OF THE EARLYS SUPERSTAR OF R&R...A LEGEND NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN..R.I.P BUDDY.....

[mustangs85]

this would b a hit today period!

[cpkphil]

Poor Nikki playing his ass off and not even plugged in!

[NYVoice]

Say, why is Nikki Sullivan playing unplugged? I hope this isn't why he quit.

[OkUrRight]

he even looks badass and hardcore.

[kcilam57]

certainement le plus grand de tous les temps

[PeterBrown42]

This song is beautiful and contains one of the greatest rock guitar solos of all time. I've just discovered it is by Donald Arnone of the orchestra directed by Jack Hanson (Not the Crickets this time, this video has been superimposed on this recording) which was made from a demo tape with just Buddy and acoustic guitar - the arrangements were added after his death. There were 6 songs done in this way by Jack Hanson, but later they did fresh arrangements which are not nearly so good.

[MrBeatlesfan8]

lmao at 2:10 Niki Sullivan bows and Buddy just straight up leaves

[hopop313]

I honeslty believe Buddy Holly was about to get even more popular if he didn't die when he did. He'd recently split with the Crickets in late '58 and it was around December that he'd recorded a whole bunch of self-written songs at home as demos. This wasn't him playing around with ideas, he was clearly trying to write new solo material. In the end these home demos ended up being some of his best material, and all self-written, it's just a shame the poor bugger didn't live to see them published.

[sicko854]

crying, waiting, hoping for music to sound like this again!

[budsterman5]

But, this song was made after the Crickets split I thought.

[PeterBrown42]

@budsterman5 Yes you are right, this was a demo with just Buddy and his acoustic guitar. The arrangements were added after his death by Jack Hansen. The name of the the guitarist who did that all time great solo is Donald Arnone I just discovered after nearly 60 years. There were 6 songs done like this - I have the orig releases of all of them

[sershpool6006]

quien dijo que la música murio, su musica trascendio mediante otras bandas

[hardgreenhorn]

.... buddy was playing the first Stratocaster that now costs 3xx,xxx US$!! :P :P

thanks so much for uploading this, i love it!!

[MrClouzot]

buddy was the 1st musician i fell in love with....thank u 4 the video as i had not heard this version in some time....long live buddy & his music

[rwb010109]

The best version of this song I think,,RWB

[roatans]

He had a very short career: September,1957-January, 1959, just 16 months!!! But lots of hits...

[HowToBehaveInPublic]

Maybe I'm a cheese but, I love this stuff. This type of thing was on it's way out when my mom and dad where born.

[eacortes]

Real music played by real guys with real talent and with real instruments! Just look at them go! Compared to today, where any fool can have their voiced computer synthesized, add some stupid beats, put an expensive label on it and its called music. Disgusting. Blame it on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol.

[jdmdoorsforever]

I DONT GIVE A SHIT...BUDDY HOLLY WILL ALWAYS HAVE AND ALWAYS WILL BE BETTER THEN ELVIS

[62Elvis]

@jdmdoorsforever BUDDY WAS FABULOUSLY TALENTED BUT HE HIMSELF ADMITTED THAT ELVIS WAS A MAJOR INSPIRATION TO HIS LIFE.

[75caligirl]

@jdmdoorsforever YOU KNOW IT THATS FOR DAYUM SURE ..

[DallasDirkable]

@jdmdoorsforever thats not true.

[DallasDirkable]

@jdmdoorsforever i love both



[archie7186]

[rogerview80]

[HoraceLip]

If you are interested I have this 45 for sale on Ebay. VG+ condition, free shipping! check it out!

[davidamurdoch]

it's that'll be the day lads

[mrjulio517]

LOVE IT

[bstroh20]

Yes, this is either That'll Be the Day or Peggy Sue from the ES performance.

[WhiteyMarsh]

Too bad the camera guy didn't capture the killer guitar solo

[4711rock]

There is clearly audible double bass at times the bass player is not plucking any strings. So this probably is Buddy Holly and the Crickets playing something else.

[CoolioRockstar]

Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens Died at young ages but i think Buddy was the KING of Rock&Roll with Elvis but Buddy Had the tittle befor Febuary 1959!

[1969sharpSkinhead]

i am crying, hoping and waiting for Buddy Holly to come back but he won't :'(

[osiris3yhn]

@1969sharpSkinhead whats up with your gay name

[radioguysbrother]

@1969sharpSkinhead I think i should remake songs of him and other classic TRUE music makers

[KMEECHY]

i love their style. not too flashy but you watch them and think wow these guys are amazing! i love jerry allison and joe b mauldins casual playing at the start and niki sullivans casual rythmn playing and of course buddys general awsomeness. RIP BUDDY

[BTLFAEN]

Buddy exited this life and the "raw" vocals were found on NYC apt tape recorded with many of his best compositions "Peggy Sue Got Married".

[bigadrian100]

buddy holly wrote that song crying waiting hoping he wrote that song cool?

[thevintagekid69]

he was super cute :3

[dinoredross]

this is the wrong video lol he was singing a different song there

[MrBioExplosive]

@dinoredross yeah, because he never performed it live

[78720]

RIP Buddy

[MrAlsfan5]

Fantastic singer, writer and performer. He's a legend and one of the most under appreciated artists of all time

[rhall4th]

By the way, in the movie La Bamba, Crying, Waiting, Hoping is the song Buddy Holly performed at the theater in Clear Lake, Iowa, the night before Ritchie Valens, The Big Bopper, and he were killed in the plane crash. That movie was so sad at the end I cried!

P.S. I cried at the end of Saving Private Ryan too.

[rhall4th]

Interesting. I have The Buddy Holly Collection (2 CDs), which has Crying, Wating, Hoping, but it only has Buddy singing (no backing vocals), and has a different guitar intro.

By the way, that video footage is definitely That'll Be the Day.

[SouthParkPerson012]

i'm starting to be a buddy holly fan, he had such an awesome voice!

[salinagrrrl69]

Oh the loss to wings > Skynard > Cowboy Copis > Jim Croche > Bopper > Richtie >

Buddy > Patsy > Glenn Miller > others

[millarbryan]

@salinagrrrl69 John Denver

[rwb010109]

Truely a rock and roll genius..RWB

[Cami1the1Critic]

this footage isn't "Crying, hoping, waiting", it's "That'll be the day" or "Peggy Sue"

[Einfarhtfreihalten]

@Cami1the1Critic

Yes it is :)

[leuvensam]

i am 35, long after my gran children are dead havnt got any yet. This will go on and on its better than m-dubz or m and m pants

[talory]

Lovely copy of the song, but the video is looped "That'll Be the Day." No disparagement meant... but bear in mind that some people a) know which videos are out there, b) read lips and c) wish that you'd explain that what you mean by "a home edited version" is that you looped someone else's Ed Sullivan Show video with a lovely version of this song.

[cbarrett34]

is this the version that was re-done after holly died?

[walt7500]

@cbarrett34 Yes, it's te version with the Jack Hansom combo. First version to be released.

[cbarrett34]

@walt7500 yeah, buddy never recorded this with a band or lead guitar. he only recorded it as a rough demo with his basic voice and acoustic guitar

[rwb010109]

Last comment.. A rock and roll musical genius and great backup group also,,RWB

[rwb010109]

One of the kings of old rock an roll is Buddy Holly and the Crickets,,RWB

[recycler1234]

I can't beleive the beatles copied this song too!

[misconduckt]

hey, where'd the beatles come from?

[xPURPLExKILLERx]

@misconduckt

imaginary purple plasma from my backyard

[xPURPLExKILLERx]

is this what people from the 50's used to listen to while they were heartbroken?

[bkxnyxmxx]

@xPURPLExKILLERx lol

[mikey73174]

Buddy Holly, the first guitar hero.

[old65rocker]

@mikey73174 Was Eddie Cochran first?

[MrBioExplosive]

@old65rocker no Buddy Was born first & played Guitar before him

[old65rocker]

@MrBioExplosive Fair enough. They were both good friends anyway, and deeply missed.

[MrBioExplosive]

@old65rocker exactly. :D

[ingkike22]

@mikey73174 actually the first one was chuck berry

[vauxhall908]

@mikey73174 sister rosetta thorpe



[afro20man]

@mikey73174 Dont forget Chuck

[scarface82us]

@mikey73174 What about Chuck Berry?

[TsugaruClan]

@scarface82us And to your mention of Chuck Berry, I could also add Bo Diddley.

[62Elvis]

@TsugaruClan fats domino & bill haley had hits before chuck, buddy & jerry lee.

[TsugaruClan]

@mikey73174 You are kidding, right? That's some whitewashing of history you have there.

[vermont13]

If it weren't for Buddy...The Beatles wouldn't have been possible IMHO...

[onewrightfox]

@vermont13 Oh really? Contributing factor, yes but what about the Everly Brothers? Or their influence that helped them to continue to change over they years Bob Dylan? Elvis's popularity was what gave Lennon the desire to be a rock musican for the girls and the money, etc. As with every, and I mean every musican that there was is and will be there is more then one musician that was inluencial.

[vermont13]

@onewrightfox Thanks for your cogent reply. I was listening to Buddy the other night and I suppose I let the music carry me away at bit. It certainly is true re: the influence of The Everly Brothers, as well as Elvis and Dylan. We could probably add The Beach Boys and The Byrds as well. Thanks again!

[MrDaffyduck80]

Thank you SO much for this video. I have this track on a Decca CD " Buddy Holly Gold" but your version is so much better - Love the instrumental break! A wonderful job with the editing, by the way. Buddy Holly videos are so rare! Your video really captures the personalities of the Crickets esp Jerry Allison. Thanks again 2paulson2

[GoucheGizmo]

i just love the harsh voice he uses on the second "my tears kept fallin all night long"

[biggerthanacadillac]

@GoucheGizmo Hear hear!..Buddy was the Absolute Master of vocal inflection; his voice is SO distinctive for that reason. It's NOT an untoward to compare his wondrous talents with those of ANY great Operatic performer ~ they MAINLY have to be TAUGHT 'how to do it' through gruelling masterclasses & repetitive diaphragmic exercise...with Buddy it just came naturally, like ALL genius, which is not 'learned' but is 'in the wiring' of the individual.

All 'the greats' are unmistakeable & BH was one!

[Startruth144]

"The Stars are made for the Skies!'"

And Crenshaw rocks this song!

[chikbeatle18]

I also prefer George Harrison's voice

but thisi is not about my friend Buddy Holly

it's about George :p

[devilsillo]

que pinche roloon ya tenia rato buscandola

esa es la buena musica no como las porqueria de hoy

[PWINCESS42MAGDA]

i 1st heard dis song in da movie la bamba..n ive always like it

[blueticecho]

Great song here . But it looks like their playing Peggy-Sue here.

[svllegend]

@blueticecho I'm pretty sure it's "That'll be the day"

[polarkreis201]

@blueticecho

Buddy hasn't time to record a music video he was busy at this time... R.I.P

[CowboyMidnight]

Very nice..Thanks for uploading this video

[ukbarton]

You did well to fit that audio track to that video. Well done 2paulson2.

Just for the benefit of any young Holly fans, none of the Crickets actually played on that track (more's the pity) as it was a Buddy Holly solo home recording.

I still miss him.

[biggerthanacadillac]

@ukbarton SO do I & ALWAYS shall.....totally ORIGINAL, totally SUPERB in every way, WHAT a LEGACY? There'll NEVER be another 22yr. & 147day old [sob, sob sincere sob] poular music performer who can hold a candle to Buddy & his beautiful GIFT to us all. Charles Hardin Holley 7Sept. 1936 ~ 3Feb. 1959 "The ABSOLUTE Master". Missed Terribly by millions .....R.I.P.

[v4cigspqdtprecae1]

This music is a classic. Of Buddy. This yes is that it is made and well touched music.

[billygeorge230845]

His music will never die,

There is another version with backing from the fireballs,

I have it in my videos if you want to listen
