Make me want to be with you-ou-ou
Rave on, it's a crazy feelin'
And I know it's got me reelin'
When you say I love you
Rave on
The way you dance and hold me tight
The way you kiss and say good ni-i-ight
Rave on, it's a crazy feelin'
And I know it's got me reelin'
When you say I love you
Rave on
Well, rave on, it's a crazy feelin'
And I know it's got me reelin'
I'm so glad that you're revealin' your love for me
Rave on, rave on and tell me
Tell me not to be lonely
Tell me you love me only
Rave on to me
Well, rave on, it's a crazy feelin'
And I know it's got me reelin'
I'm so glad that you're revealin' your love for me
Rave on, rave on and tell me
Tell me not to be lonely
Tell me you love me only
Rave on to me
Buddy was born 1936 – died on February 3 1959. He was killed when the aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff, he was 22 years old. In 1955 he decided to pursue a career in music. In December of ’57 they performed "That'll Be The Day" and "Peggy Sue" on The Ed Sullivan Show. In ’58 the band toured the UK playing 50 shows in 25 days.
In October ‘58 four songs were recorded during a 3 hour session - awesome:
"True Love Ways" "Moondreans" "Raining In My Heart" "It Doesn't Matter Anymore".
History:1957:
That’ll Be The Day ... Words of love ... Peggy Sue/Everyday .... Oh Boy/Not Fade Away ... Maybe Baby ... Rave On ... Think It Over
1958:
It’s So Easy ... Heartbeat
1959:
Raining in my Heart ... Peggy Sue Got Married
Other tracks were released after his death.
(I actually have some of the above on 78rpm :) )Those are just some of the ones born there. A whole slew spent their formative years in Lubbock (typically at Texas Tech).
Waylon Jennings was from Littlefield, only 37 miles away from Lubbock.
Roy Orbison was from Wink, which is about 150 miles from Lubbock. In West Texas that's practically next door.
Lubbock is sometimes called the Original Live Music Capital of the World.
The more you know...

If anyone ever deserved the term "Ahead of his time" it was Buddy Holly. Jeeze, and he did all those songs before he was TWENTY-TWO!
Yes, I know he stole Bo Diddley's beat. Doesn't diminish his other work.

Is Buddy wearing a skirt in the cover photo?
I believe he was known to wear a cullotte now and then. He's known as the godfather of androgyny in rock and roll.
rave on, john donne, rave on

Cool! And while you may have never heard one of his songs directly, I suspect you have heard his influence in other rock music.
And maybe part of why I'm so into listening to music is because I did hear this as a kid, albeit in the early 80's, and it helped me learn the history of RnR. And to add a little story like I'm known to do, here it goes:
My stepmom was not a fan of me listening to music while doing homework, so she confiscated my 'boom box' during homework time. She did not take my Fisher Price record player, so I would listen to what few records I had in my bedroom over and over and over. The majority of the records were part of a box set my grandpa bought years prior entitled "the Great Composers" and was a sort of biography/history lesson with examples of the great classical composers (Bach, Brahmas, Beethoven, Mozart, Schubert, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Haydn, Handel and one more I'm forgetting) - and the Buddy Holly Story, which I would hide from my stepmom in fear it was deemed too distracting to my studying. I probably flipped the BHS record over 10 times a night, preferring ANY music to NO music, and as an 'upgrade' from the Classical (which I still LOVE(D)) music I felt it was the coolest thing ever. Anyways...that's my story and yeah....this track gets a 10 from me.
Long Live RP!!
Yep...I also caught that apropos segue from American Pie "The Day The Music (Buddy) Died"
AREN'T WE FLYING A LITTLE LOW?'
what?

The VERY Best of his good music... Hidden, underplayed. But Oh-! So much fun to dance along, drive along, and just boost the spirits.
Thanks
The CD that this track is from is IMHO pretty much definitive. Sound quality is excellent.
Okay, I know you probably meant this in jest, except that in an environment that is saturated with firearms, it's not that funny any more. I live in the South where good ol' boys at events as tame as City Council meetings shout that so-and-so should be shot for saying one thing or another. Trouble is they mean it.
You should be shot for that statement .

Buddy Holly is a god and with a very few others paved the way for practically ALL rock music that followed.
If you had to listen to what purported for "popular" music in the '50s you would understand, the place this guy has.
HOW MUCH WAS THAT DOGGIE IN THE WINDOW? MABY?
as in B.B.
I'm guessing Mr. Mellencamp wouldn't agree with you.

Hard to believe it's half a century since the day the music died.
Viva la Buddy!
