A CLASSIC 1957 CHART HIT FROM BUDDY HOLLY & THE CRICKETS ON A UK CORAL 78
Buddy Holly played rock and roll for only two short years, but the wealth of material he recorded in that time made a major and lasting impact on popular music. Holly was an innovator who wrote his own material and was among the first to exploit such advanced studio techniques as double-tracking. He pioneered and popularized the now-standard rock-band lineup of two guitars, bass and drums with the Crickets and Holly’s catalog of songs includes such standards of the rock and roll canon as “Rave On,” “Peggy Sue,” “That’ll Be the Day,” Oh Boy!” and “Maybe Baby.” Though Holly lacked the arresting sexuality of Elvis Presley, he nonetheless cut an engaging, charismatic figure with his trademark horn-rimmed glasses and vocal hiccup. His creative self-reliance and energetic, inspired craftsmanship prefigured the coming wave of rock and rollers in the Sixties. Holly was a professed influence on the Beatles and Hollies (both of whom derived their names from his). Even the Rolling Stones had their first major British hit with a cover of Holly’s “Not Fade Away.” DISC DETAILS:- UK CORAL Q 72298 10" 78 rpm SHELLAC THE CRICKETS A SIDE: OH BOY B SIDE:- NOT FADE AWAYENTERED THE UK CHARTS 27 DEC 1957 - HIGHEST POSITION - #3 WEEKS IN CHART = 15
