The Beatles first recording was Buddy Holly's "That'll Be the Day" That is why it is almost the same. The Beatles got the idea to write their own music from Buddy!

@kagoshimaenglish Excuse my vulgar words but, kids today have grown up with shit covered in whip cream. I think that statment alone tells you what music is like today. I am 26 years old and find myself listening to the older but better music of the past, the worst part is, it will only get worse as time goes on, to a point where unitellagable lyrics are popular and songs that come off a production line are No1 hits, and it's 'not cool' to play a instrument. Very sad.

She doesn't mention the $1000's of dollars her husband, Norman Petty, stole from Buddy and was the major reason he had to take the horrible concert tour that took his life. I would be ashamed to show my face..

some people will never get to enjoy and understand great music, which is unfortunate, but you know Buddy and others are definitely appreciated by peoplethat count like most rock n rollers of the 60s- even the famous Beatles loved and covered his music! Paul even bought the rights to Buddy's music to make sure it wasnt used in commericials and ruined by terrible cover versions.

@vagtasticone All three films you mention are amazing, everybody must see them even if you aren't into the music. Awesome films

@EresAmada00 Watch "The Buddy Holly Story" (1978) Gary Busey plays Buddy, and "La Bamba" (1987) Lou Diamond Phillips plays Ritchie Valens - both good films. I can't find The Buddy Holly Story on youtube (just this biography), but La Bamba is still up on youtube. And youtube also has "Great Balls of Fire!" about Jerry Lee Lewis.

@rbound827 They're making a Movie About J.P "The Big Bopper" Richardson YAY!

[Evileddiex123]

@kagoshimaenglish it's because they think Swearing, Sex, Money, & All that bad stuff is good lyrics & they think Eminem And Rap is Actually Godd Music! HAHAHA i mean that so stupid

[nebraska9000]

@kagoshimaenglish no. He was THE MAN who made rock and roll.

@EresAmada00 Gary Busey was nominated for an Oscar in 1978 for the Buddy Holly Story. Lou Diamond Phillips played Ritchie Valens in the smash hit 1987 movie La Bamba..and there have been tons of movies and biographies on Elvis Presley. Hopefully there will be a movie about Eddie Cochran one day
