Buddy Knox - Party Doll/Hula Love (1957)

This is NOT from an Alan Freed Show, its either Ed Sullivan or Ted Steele....only an incomplete Freed show survives, without this...

i like this song! i'm just 28 yrs. old but i love this kind of music. i kinda tired of listening to six feet under so i changed to the classics for a change. ^_^

He is great always liked this song. I imagine he was in the Army if he was in
uniform.

Yeeah, like someone would take the risk of appearing in a US military uniform on national TV if he wasn't in the military? He'd have been arrested in a nanosecond for impersonating a military officer if he hadn't been in the military! Think people, think! BTW - this clip IS from the Ed Sullivan show and the Army told him he could only appear on the show IF he wore his uniform!!

Does anyone know why he is appearing in a US Army uniform? Was he actually in the army at the time?

I could be wrong but i think Buddy sung this in "Jamboree" a Great rock 'n roll movie i saw in the early 60's. Unreal.... just love this shit..

I didn't know he had died(Feb. '99)- lung cancer from lifelong cigarette smoking. He was handsome(sort of James Dean looking)!

I met Buddy about three years earlier. He was visiting a friend in Washington State and we met at a local music store that I worked at at the time.

I auditioned for him and could have had the gig... but it meant some changes in my life that I couldn't deal with.

I remember thinking a man that smokes that much can't be long for this world... and he wasn't. It's too bad, he seemed like a nice man.
