some people say buddy holly is the king of rock, some say its elvis, some say its the beatles, some say its rolling stones, some say its led zeplin, some say its dean martin somonehow, i say its all of them.
This is for the four people that were not a where of the inspiration for this song.
*That‘ll be day* a song written by *Buddy Holly* and *Jerry Allison* and recorded by various artists, was inspired by their viewing of this film *The Searchers* in June 1956. John Wayne's frequently-used, world-weary catchphrase, "That'll be the day" inspired the young musicians.
@NFFCcombat18 Let's see, Buddy Holly was a rich and successful musician, and you're some loser trashing a dead man's music anonymously over the Internet. Honestly, who really "sucks the big one" here?
I recently discovered a copy of 'The "Chirping" Crickets' - Buddy's first album in mint condition in a box of old vinyls in my games room... sadly the sleeve is nowhere to be found. Still, the album sounds fantastic, this song is probably my favourite.
@cawkanos Buddy never got to reach full potential like Elvis had he never got on that plane there is no telling how far he would have gone Buddy Holly Lives
@paulmccartney7ElvisP I like oldies as much as the next guy, but don't you think that's an unfair contrast? It's a lot easier to be innovative when a whole genre is in it's infancy, as opposed to the 00's where so much has already been done. I'm not knocking your opinion, but come on.
@youhavegeniusshins okaay it might be a bit lower :L i just havent really taken a interest in that music so i only think a few...who do you think from 00s?
My parents raised me right. Listened to Oldies 95 every night as a younger kid. Buddy Holly was my favorite. I would stand up on my bed and twist to it and lip sing with him. Sigh...no one in my grade knows who he is. I wish I was a teen in the fifties...
@ganondorfguy101 Right. Back in the good old days. Think about all the awful crap that happened in the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Be glad you were born when you were.
John Marascalco, a white songwriter, wrote Good Golly Miss Molly, Rip It Up, and Ready Teddy for Little Richard. Enotris Johnson wrote Long Tall Sally. But no one puts Little Richard down for not writing his biggest hits. They just do it with Elvis. But Elvis had a hand in creating his songs. As much or as little as Michael Jackson or Little Richard or Ray Charles. Elvis was just as much a creator and innovator as any of them. Get real people.
Michael Jackson did not write his biggest songs. Thriller, Off the Wall, and Rock With You were written by a white composer, Rod Temperton. Ray Charles did not write his biggest hits. Georgia, You Don't Know Me, and I Can't Stop Loving You were all written by white songwriters. Little Richard did not write his biggest hits. A white guy wrote them. Why the double standard? Elvis did create many original songs like Heartbreak Hotel and Don't Be Cruel. He had a hand in the creation.
@chard6788 The songwriters for Heartbreak Hotel are Elvis Presley, Tommy Durden, and Mae Axton. That was how the song was published by Tree Publishing. That means Elvis co-wrote it. Was he the principal writer? No. But Buddy Holly was not a principal writer on all of his songs either. He worked with Jerry Allison or members of the Crickets. Little Richard put his name on the credits for Long Tall Sally although Enotris Johnson wrote that song. This song is by Holly, Allison, and Petty.
Great song. I have to learn how to play that solo some day. I think I like this better than the earlier version which has lots of echo in it. This one just sounds more polished I guess.
It's amazing that old record sounda as good as does considering how warped it is.
You can see it wobbling on the turntable. Amazing.
Ha ha - nice to see the video of the record but... This was the first record that I ever bought (along with Little Richards "The Girl Can't Help It") and both were on breakable (bakelite) 78's - memories of my auto-changer :)
@japanesecinema I hope you know Buddy Holly made the original, but Modest Mouse did make a great cover of this song. Modest Mouse is my favorite band, but nothing tops an original in my opinion.
this song was played at my grandads funeral he loved buddy holly so when i listen to buddy it reminds me of the good times with granda love u n miss u so much granda wish u where here
You have quite a few grammatical errors in your rebuttal about grammatical errors. I'm just saying. What the hell man? Oh, and yeah - Buddy Holly does kick ass, great song, so that part is right. Plus, where I'm from, 'loving' starts with an 'f'. My 3rd step-dad taught me that.
nice man. old school records haha i still got my uncles record player and all his old school rock and roll music haha memories with all that good music. =)
it's a bit ironic how he die. They flop a coin to see who was going to sit in the plane between buddy holly and waylon jennings. Buddy won and jennings said i hope "your plane gonna crashes" and that exactly what happened...
It's very sad that his career hadnt really taken off yet he was only in music and making records for three years before he died so in a way he was way better than Elvis because Buddy Holly wrote his own songs
@thebeatlesfanfab4 yea from all accounts buddy was a hero of both lennon and mccartney, and you can certainly hear that influence in their early stuff...pity that kind of soul is so hard to find in the mass produced, cardboard music these days
@FenderMan2112 What the hell man? R u tha spelin' poleecce? So do you look all over you tube for spelling and gramatical errors? Man you need a life. Such a great song as "That'll be the day" and your only comment is that I misspelled loving. I thought that no one could have a life more depressing life than my own then you write that and prove me wrong. Should I have put a comma in that last sentence? Maybe before then? Or maybe I should have used a semi-colon. What the hell man?
@mindeloman you spelled "are", "you", "the", "spellin'", "police", "grammatical", and "than" wrong.
also, instead of saying "I thought that no one could have a life more depressing life than my own then you write that and prove me wrong" you should have written "i thought no one could have a life more depressing than my own, then what you said had proved me wrong" because it's grammatically correct as opposed to you butchering the english language.
@bucketsofclass What an incredibly smart person you are. I bet you wrote that with a great amount of satisfaction too. Oh, by the way. A comma should come before every quotation in a sentence. You might want to proofread your own writing. Apparently, you have a grammatical grasp of the English language but punctuation eludes you. You also failed to capitalize the word," also. " See, it's the first word of a new sentence. In case you didn't know. Thanks again, thimblesofclass.
@JudyMaryAndYuki "win the spelling bee contest" does not rhyme with "lie". Syl'labically it doesn't work either. The word 'lie' is one syllable and 'win the spelling bee contest' contains seven. Thanks for your generous, albeit flawed critique. Hey, one helping hand deserves another.
@NanBullen93 In what way was Buddy better than Elvis ?......Buddy would have never been a Rock and Roll artist if it had not been for Elvis.......I am a fan of Buddy also...but he was no Elvis
Don´t forget THE BEATLES (Beetle) had their name after THE CRICKETS. The first "beatles" record (The Quarrymen) was in 1957 "That´ll Be The Day". Paul McCartney owns lots of the copyrights of Buddy´s songs.
All the shit about the groups from the 60´s were the best and kings and started it all is nothing but bu,,,,They were all influenced by the greats of the 50´s.
Buddy was ONE of the best. Just like Eddie he recorded no bad songs.
I am going to turn 26 this year in August. I wish that the people in my generation would listen to the words and love the music the way that I feel Buddy intended it to be loved. He was a King, and even though he was before my time, I miss being able to hear what he might have come up with.
I never knew how amazing buddy holly was. Now I know why he influenced the Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan, the three greatest artists of all time.
It doesn't matter if the phrase was a common thing or not. The story is that that Buddy wrote the song in the car on the way home from seeing John Wayne in the movie.
@MattMonk no, it would still be the exact same no talents coming into the industry and fucking everything up, anymore to be a rocker, you have to have a rock hard body, a shit load of piercings, and sound like you don't care about making the genre sound good, that's why I'll always listen to classic rock, and I don't care whether I've never heard Justin Bieber for more than 10 seconds, I'm still gonna say he sound's gay
Wrong. I beg to differ. "That'll be the day" is a folk phrase common to many midwest people. Buddy Holly capitalized it. John Wayne merely said what was being spoken in the Midwest.-Nelson Downey, Kansas City Missouri-cousin to Jesse James.
You got that right! He (Buddy) rocked! Elvis was a puppet for the mass media. Buddy didn't care about popularity, he just played rock & roll! He would have been the best if he had lived. He lives forever in our hearts.
You got it dude! Buddy Holly rocked! He was a better guitar player and his music was all around better. Period. Everyone gets off on Elvis 'cause all the girls loved him. But Buddy rocked. He is the true KIng of Rock & Roll.
@PAULNIEM Explain to me how Buddy is the "True King of Rock and Roll" when Elvis was releasing records three years earlier ....and it is a FACT.....Buddy Holly was a country artist until he saw Elvis Presley perform Live in Lubbock , TX in 1955........Elvis is the reason Buddy switched to Rock and Roll.....I suspect you dont know much about Elvis
@skodarap I respect your OPINION that Buddy Holly was better than Elvis....but the FACTS say Elvis blew him out the water...............but let us not argue......they were both great entertainers
@Ali74 John Lennon said ...."there was nothing before Elvis"......he knew how important Elvis was .....Elvis brought Rock and Roll into the nations eyes.....Buddy Holly did not
@Jacobrester Buddy Holly was a great vocalist, wrote his own songs, wasn't an image gimmick, and his influence crossed the pond... the complete opposite of "uh huh huh"
Being more popular (due to image gimmick and longevity) is not the same as influence or talent..see non entities like Britney Spears for current example
@Jacobrester Err...what part of "being more popular (due to image gimmick and LONGEVITY) is not the same as influence or talent" do you not understand??
Buddy Holly was more influential than "uh huh huh"
@Ali74 Are you referring to the John Lennon from the Beatles who said..."Before Elvis there was nothing" ????......I am not going to be tricked into talking badly about Buddy as I enjoy his music....but Buddy was not on the same level career wise as Elvis...and frankly...most of Buddy's music sounds outdated
@Jacobrester I think Buddy's value if had lived would have been as a prolific songwriter. His catalogue in just the short time he was around was just amazing. By the way, his songs were not dated , because many artists were hitting the charts with his songs well into the late 70's.
Buddy brought rock into the worlds eyes more than elvis did. Elvis is a joke. He only wrote like 2 of his songs and he took credit for all the other ones even know he had nothing to do with writing them, and the beatles covered like 4 or 5 Buddy Holly songs that i know of, and i know for a fact John was a huge buddy fan.
@Rush1013 You are an uneducated moron......Buiddy Holly was a country act until he saw Elvis perform live in 1955 in Lubbock , TX......after watching Elvis Buddy switched to Rock and Roll......Elvis was around in Rock and Roll 4 years before Buddy ever charted.....the Beatles and John Lennon said....and I quote......"there was nothing before Elvis".......Buddy was a great talent.....but he was no Elvis
@Jacobrester I never said anything about Buddy not being influenced by Elvis, im just saying that i personally think Buddy had a bigger impact on the music world than elvis did. Paul McCartney said ""At least the first 40 songs we (The Beatles) wrote were Buddy Holly-influenced." Elvis didnt even write his own songs and he took credit from other musicians who wrote his songs, and whats your problem calling me a uneducated moron because i dont agree with you? Thats ignorant.
@Jacobrester so you believe someone is uneducated because they get a few facts wrong? that's pathetic and ignorant my friend, and there's no point in calling me uneducated, cause my high school and college diploma's would love to contradict you =)
Mmm.. Sounds so good on that 45... Thanks for the video. I love the crackle of records..

Don´t forget THE BEATLES (Beetle) had their name after THE CRICKETS. The first "beatles" record (The Quarrymen) was in 1957 "That´ll Be The Day". Paul McCartney owns lots of the copyrights of Buddy´s songs.
All the shit about the groups from the 60´s were the best and kings and started it all is nothing but bu,,,,They were all influenced by the greats of the 50´s.
Buddy was ONE of the best. Just like Eddie he recorded no bad songs.

I am going to turn 26 this year in August. I wish that the people in my generation would listen to the words and love the music the way that I feel Buddy intended it to be loved. He was a King, and even though he was before my time, I miss being able to hear what he might have come up with.

I never knew how amazing buddy holly was. Now I know why he influenced the Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan, the three greatest artists of all time.

It doesn't matter if the phrase was a common thing or not. The story is that that Buddy wrote the song in the car on the way home from seeing John Wayne in the movie.

Rock would be different right now had he not died, he was that talented.
MattMonk 1 year ago 3
@MattMonk no, it would still be the exact same no talents coming into the industry and fucking everything up, anymore to be a rocker, you have to have a rock hard body, a shit load of piercings, and sound like you don't care about making the genre sound good, that's why I'll always listen to classic rock, and I don't care whether I've never heard Justin Bieber for more than 10 seconds, I'm still gonna say he sound's gay

John Wayne was the inspiration for this song, based on a famous movie quote. February 3d will be the anniversary of the day the music died.
wickedantionette 2 years ago
Wrong. I beg to differ. "That'll be the day" is a folk phrase common to many midwest people. Buddy Holly capitalized it. John Wayne merely said what was being spoken in the Midwest.-Nelson Downey, Kansas City Missouri-cousin to Jesse James.

I think that Buddy Holly was way better than Elvis!
GeekUltra 2 years ago 80
You got that right! He (Buddy) rocked! Elvis was a puppet for the mass media. Buddy didn't care about popularity, he just played rock & roll! He would have been the best if he had lived. He lives forever in our hearts.

You got it dude! Buddy Holly rocked! He was a better guitar player and his music was all around better. Period. Everyone gets off on Elvis 'cause all the girls loved him. But Buddy rocked. He is the true KIng of Rock & Roll.

@PAULNIEM Explain to me how Buddy is the "True King of Rock and Roll" when Elvis was releasing records three years earlier ....and it is a FACT.....Buddy Holly was a country artist until he saw Elvis Presley perform Live in Lubbock , TX in 1955........Elvis is the reason Buddy switched to Rock and Roll.....I suspect you dont know much about Elvis

@Jacobrester Buddy Holly was more influential. John Lennon reveres Holly as do many that follow... whereas Elvis was swinging hips and "uh huh huh".
Ali74 1 year ago
@Ali74 John Lennon said ...."there was nothing before Elvis"......he knew how important Elvis was .....Elvis brought Rock and Roll into the nations eyes.....Buddy Holly did not
Jacobrester 1 year ago
@Jacobrester Buddy Holly was a great vocalist, wrote his own songs, wasn't an image gimmick, and his influence crossed the pond... the complete opposite of "uh huh huh"
Being more popular (due to image gimmick and longevity) is not the same as influence or talent..see non entities like Britney Spears for current example

@Jacobrester Err...what part of "being more popular (due to image gimmick and LONGEVITY) is not the same as influence or talent" do you not understand??
Buddy Holly was more influential than "uh huh huh"
Again, ask John Lennon
Ali74 1 year ago
@Ali74 Are you referring to the John Lennon from the Beatles who said..."Before Elvis there was nothing" ????......I am not going to be tricked into talking badly about Buddy as I enjoy his music....but Buddy was not on the same level career wise as Elvis...and frankly...most of Buddy's music sounds outdated
Jacobrester 1 year ago
@Jacobrester I think Buddy's value if had lived would have been as a prolific songwriter. His catalogue in just the short time he was around was just amazing. By the way, his songs were not dated , because many artists were hitting the charts with his songs well into the late 70's.

Buddy brought rock into the worlds eyes more than elvis did. Elvis is a joke. He only wrote like 2 of his songs and he took credit for all the other ones even know he had nothing to do with writing them, and the beatles covered like 4 or 5 Buddy Holly songs that i know of, and i know for a fact John was a huge buddy fan.

@Rush1013 You are an uneducated moron......Buiddy Holly was a country act until he saw Elvis perform live in 1955 in Lubbock , TX......after watching Elvis Buddy switched to Rock and Roll......Elvis was around in Rock and Roll 4 years before Buddy ever charted.....the Beatles and John Lennon said....and I quote......"there was nothing before Elvis".......Buddy was a great talent.....but he was no Elvis
Jacobrester 1 year ago
@Jacobrester I never said anything about Buddy not being influenced by Elvis, im just saying that i personally think Buddy had a bigger impact on the music world than elvis did. Paul McCartney said ""At least the first 40 songs we (The Beatles) wrote were Buddy Holly-influenced." Elvis didnt even write his own songs and he took credit from other musicians who wrote his songs, and whats your problem calling me a uneducated moron because i dont agree with you? Thats ignorant.
Rush1013 1 year ago
@Jacobrester so you believe someone is uneducated because they get a few facts wrong? that's pathetic and ignorant my friend, and there's no point in calling me uneducated, cause my high school and college diploma's would love to contradict you =)
