I am 43 years old and I love Buddy's music. A really beautiful version of one of his most beautiful love songs - in heaven Buddy crying just a few tears, there are tears of joy that his work is being appreciated from you so, and certainly he does with "Heartbeat" to the guitar and sing with you a duet. Wonderful - best wishes to you from Germany!

[8Trk]

@musicfreak1967 - glad you appreciate Buddy and his music, thanks! :)

[JoeTakeHolly]

[8Trk]

@JoeTakeHolly - thanks! :)

[Wolfie248]

me n my friend were shocked wen we found out Buddy sung this

[8Trk]

@Wolfie248

Buddy and his songs are the real thing ... covers by others (including myself) are mere 2nd place efforts in appreciataion of his great talent! :)

[Vegas01973]

Wow! This is fantastic. This is not only my favorite Buddy Holly song but one of my all-time top ten favorite songs. You absolutely nailed it. Your vocals are smooth and you captured the same feel of the original. Kudos!!

[8Trk]

@Vegas01973

Thanks for your kind comments ... you have good taste! :)

Best Cover from Buddy on the Tube...Thanks.

[8Trk]

@astronorm111 Thanks for your comment! :)

[slimymeteor]

this is the only buddy holly cover on youtube that is actually awesome

[8Trk]

@slimymeteor Thanks for your comment! :)

[TonyAKABadtz]

very nice, I want to do a cover, but i don't have any backing track :C

[8Trk]

Thanks for your comment ... I don't have a backing track, I recorded the individual tracks as I went along and it seems I've erased them since! ... do a search on the internet, you may find a midi track or something, good luck!

[StumptownBoy]

Just thought I'd pop back in and tell you I thought this was the best cover of Heartbeat I could find on YouTube.

You did it lovely justice.

[8Trk]

Thanks again for returning with more flattering comments! at this rate I may be inspired to do some more ... :)

[StumptownBoy]

Rarely do I like the covers I find on YouTube, but this is very well done, and the video is cute, too.

It stays close enough to the original to keep me interested, but has enough of it's own style to know it's a cover.

Excellent.

[8Trk]

Thanks for a great comment, glad you liked it ... Holly's songs are largely very simple, yet become timeless classics, there's something very special about his music, but don't ask me what it is! :)

[DineshDe]

FANTASTIC!!!!!

[8Trk]

Thanks for your nice comment!

[kittox2ya]

[tl1095]

[alliecat1941]

i want the song Heartbeat sung by Buddy Holly..I cant find it on YouTube

[anetayea]

Me too! I am looking for the original by Buddy Holly, there are lots and lots of covers on YT but no real thing :-(

[joberstadt]

Very well done!

[8Trk]

Thanks, glad you liked it!

[joberstadt]

So much so that I bought the single from the ITunes store last night!

[y00sta]

[8Trk]

Thanks!

[krazeecats]

I loved it!

[8Trk]

Thank you :)

[mat876]

wow , amazing cover , one of my fave buddy songs

[8Trk]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[mat876]

what recording software did you use , ?

i tryed recording on audacity , but theres way too much feedback , and hissing with more things i record to one sound

[8Trk]

I don't use software to record, I use an outboard Yamaha MD8 mini disc recorder, as pictured :)

[MemphisMaiden]

I really like it, aspecially knowing you did everything you hear yourself ! I wish I had all the equipment (and the time !) to do what you do ! Brilliant !

[8Trk]

Thanks, Anna ... it's not so difficult really, just a little practice and attention to detail ... anyway, you do quite ok with just your voice and 12 string guitar! :)

[misspopanoche]

Hey 8Trk,

Thought I'd come over and have another listen being as it's the anniversary today. Sounding great, really fresh and sweet.

Shuie.

[8Trk]

Thanks Shuie! ... it's quite amazing how many musicians (world famous and otherwise) have been influenced so greatly over the last 50 yrs by just one individual ... one extraordinarily talented individual!

[2wheelsturnin]

How did I miss this? Great recording, you have this period sound down.

[8Trk]

Thanks Jim, Buddy's always been a favorite of mine and so many to choose from ... and they're easy to play! lol

[8Trk]

Thank you so much, Sonya - you always have such nice words to say ... and it means that much more coming from such talented people as yourself and Shuie! :)

[misspopanoche]

I can't believe this has NO comments!!

Well.. let me be the first to say that was great! You really do have that Tommy Allsop sound - Vocals were lovely too.
