You gonna give your love to me
I wanna love you night and day
You know my love will not fade away
Well, you know my love not fade away
My love is bigger than a Cadillac
I try to show it and you drive-a me back
Your love for me got to be real
For you to know-a just how I feel
A love for real not fade away
I'm a-gonna tell you how it's gonna be
You're gonna give your love to me
A love to last-a more than one day
A love is love and not fade away
A love is love and not fade away

Dude totally stole his look from Elvis Costello.
Hmmmm. Costello was 4 years old the day the music died.
Brilliant bridge into rock music along with all the black musicians who led Holly there.
influences here mainly Country.........particularly Jimmie Rodgers
So that's what Two Nice Girls rhymed their The Queer Song to!
Used to see them all the time. Loved how they would swap instruments between songs. I think Gretchen is still kicking around. I remember her saying she was genuinely surprised how many straight guys were in the audiences - how about because you write and perform great stuff!

To close out a show. Outdoors...hot and sweaty, dark sky with stars. And then its over.
Wikipedia says that he was born in 1969 and died in 1959!
Back in 1973, I worked with somebody that thought it was a Grateful Dead Tune!
That beat is essentially a "Latin clave" rhythm, which existed before the 20th Century.
This rock and roll thing will never last...
That's what my father told me in '68. Rock is dead. I think NOT! LLRP
Kinda rapey, no??
Kinda rapey, no??

It is also a beat well known to residents of the Crescent City, especially come Carnival Time
sadly such a poor transition from
- the dandy warhols - Godless
- Jeff Beck - Rollin' and Tumblin'
and now this song ? Sorry, I can't like this song today after having listened to the two most excellent previous ones...
I'll wait for the next time I hear it to rate it fairly, right now, PSD is calling ! ;)
Agreed, most of Bill's transitions are fantastic, but this one hit hard enough I had to check I hadn't accidentally clicked PSD.

I believe it was out of Clear Lake IA if I remember correctly.
Right, that's where the crash ultimately was. They were playing there, but took off in nearby Mason City and didn't make it far. The bassist had chosen not to go on the plane. Some guy named Waylon Jennings. The crash also took Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. The day the music died...

Great song too, of course!
I hope Buddy knew he was loved and a hero to so many of us .
Rave on to you Buddy !

Have to agree.
Sometimes people have to admit that the cover can be better than the original.
This song wouldn't exist without BH, but it sure doesn't have the timeless quality the Dead's version has.
I 3rd that..
Almost anytime I went to a dead show, Not fade away, would be the oncore song...
I hope Buddy knew he was loved and a hero to so many of us .
Rave on to you Buddy !
(cough) and imagine if Buddy had all the equipment given to performers nowadays in the studio. Oh wait, that's right...I would guess you are under 30, and that you think 45's are a gun, that vinyl is something you cover your auto seats with, and that Mick Jagger wrote this song. sigh. So you think production makes the song? Maybe...but not for Buddy Holly or Chuck Berry or Little Richard or .... If I could rate this a 10 squared, I would.

I suppose that is not a surprising comment coming from someone who was apparently born in 1984. Holly's recordings were state-of-the-art in the 1950's.

I must respectfully disagree. I love the Dead in general, and their version of this as well, but for me Buddy's original has a kind of crystalline simplicity that nothing can supercede.
Let's not forget the Stones' cover of this song. It was on one of their very early albums.

All the head-spinning creative chaos of the 60s and 70s, its all right there, in the leading edge of Holly's guitar notes and vocals.
History in a song.
