I just heard this version on pandora and had to add to my favs on YouTube Thx for the post!

@salsburysteakjr Oh I suppose I was. I'm at the I-don't-give-much-of-a-darn phase at this point, though. About this issue, mind you. I moved on to another biggie: 1nalawest does a nice version of the "Beautiful" song "by" Cristina Aguilera. Cristina has had over 2 million views. Nala has had about 280 in more than a year, since hers has been up on YouTube. Kind of stuff like that can stick in this boy's craw y'know what I mean? WELL DO YA, PUNK???!!!

j/k

@strandwolf You are very intense about this.

Who first performed or recorded this song? The CRICKETS, that's right. More than Buddy Holly sang and played instruments on the recording session. Are you all clear on that? And who wrote "Rave On'? Yeah...who COMPOSED it? Not Buddy Holly. I like him, I think he was great, but really. This is not Holly's song, it is not A Buddy Holly song any more than it is an M. Ward song. Buddy AND his band recorded it back in 1958. Did a spectacular job, too.

Okay: written by Tilghman, West, Petty.

@zutfruit2 m. ward is in a league of his own. <3

I think you guys dont realize that M.ward isn't trying to be like buddy holly, thats why I don't like it when people compare covers. If you like buddy holly thats fine, but don't compare him to M.ward because thats not what hes trying to do, I dont think his thought was this is gonna be better then the original.

I didn't know about Buddy Holly's version either. I've always headr the version by Steeleye Span, this UK folk music group. They do a very cool a capella version of it, check it out.
