and then after that sentence he mumbled soon to be released "Well Alright" that Santana made big. Just astonishing how talented that man was at so young and not even in his prime years yet.

He said heartbeat releases in a few days in the interview. Let’s say he meant two days. Which would make this November 3rd which is two days before heartbeats release. And buddy died on Feb 3rd 1959 making this exactly 3 months before his death

@georgepoth8339

3 жыл бұрын

His song “Heartbeat” was released on November 5, 1958. He says in the interview that (starting at 1:48) “The last night of this tour is three nights from tonight in Richmond”. Buddy did two shows in Richmond on October 19, 1958. So the day of the interview was Thursday, October 16, right? And that means that it was exactly 110 days before his death, or 3 months, 2 weeks, and 4 days.

Just a good kid that wanted to play rock-n-roll his way. So ironic and sad that he was asked about his future plans. His life was ripped away from him by no fault of his own. Anyone of us would have made that decision to charter a plane rather than freeze on those buses. He didn't die of a drug overdose or abuse his body, he just got on the wrong damn plane.

His laugh is heaven.

Such a talented, humble, and cool dude. It’s insane how young he died, Eddie Cochran as well. A couple years into their musical career and tragedy struck both. They have immortalized themselves in music history in tremendously short time. It rattles the mind thinking what they could have written, recorded, produced and done had they lived a much longer, deserved life.
