So insane when you think of buddy holly you just feel as if he was older because of his ability to create such good music and revolutionize a sound in rock and roll, but when you see this you really see that he was just a kid, only 2 years older than I am right now when passed and still managed to create such a iconic image and sound that is everlasting

True! I think about that sometimes. The same with Ritchie Valens, how could such a young boy write such good music. He wrote better songs when he was 15-17 years old than 99% of us ever will. That's just crazy to think about.

He was the first white artist to play Apollo Theatre, had a #1 hit, played Ed Sullivan Show 2 times (could have been 3), and discovered Waylon Jennings All before turning 23. Crazy to think what he could have done if he was with us longer. I often think about what he accomplished in so little, while others fight their whole lives to accomplish one thing they are known for. He truly was the meaning of the word “trailblazer”

This video really hits home just how young Buddy actually was. When you see photos of him it’s easy to think he was a lot older than he was because of the change in styles etc. It’s sad to think the oldest we will ever see him is 22.

Excellent footage. He was one cool cat.

Best quote ever!

He was such a cutie.

At 0:59 they are replaying the knife fight scene from the movie Rebel Without A Cause. This video is the essence of the fifties!

That song and Buddy's singing still sounds great today.

Very cool, Without Buddy, wouldn't have Beatles, Stones, and tons of others

Buddy’s music will live on, he was a natural from the very first time he picked up a guitar, he left a legacy that we still hear even in today’s music ! God bless you Buddy 🎸

At 1:00 they are imitating James Dean in Rebel without a cause !

I have never stopped listening to Buddy's music. When I lived in NYC, and went to all of those oldies and doo wop concerts in the 1970's & 1980's, I used to think how great it would have been to see an older Buddy Holly appear and sing all of those great songs that he recorded in his youth.

My dad lived next door to Buddy and his family in Lubbock when he was a kid. Would have been 15 or 16 in 1958 when this video was shot

As long as we have devices to play Buddy's music, his music will be here until the end of time... ⏳ As a kid, I grew up with *The Beatles* . I didn't know anything about Buddy until I listen to a Beatles song "Words of Love" off their album The Beatles 6th. I noticed the writing credits didn't go to Lennon-McCartney or Harrison, It said "Buddy Holly" wow, who's he? I sure found out. He wrote so many great songs! And great people, like The Beatles, covered them! I really loved " *The Buddy Holly* Story" I learned a lot about the man through that brief movie. "Gary Buesy" did a great job portraying portraying him. Buddy, The Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens, and pilot Roger Peterson all went to Heaven that Very cold day 0n *February 3, 1959* 💒💗✝ ✈

Interesting home movie of Buddy Holly on his Triumph motorcycle. He may be long gone, but his music is always with us--it's timeless. "Think it Over" is my favourite Holly song--glad you used it, and thanks from me!! 🤓🤓🤓🎸🎸🎸

It's what the Beatles sang pre fame on a talent show which they lost and John didn't have his guitar and had to sing without the others played backing him. When they left that studio John had gotten a new one left by a hapless player who left it behind according to Paul.

It's very sad the way Buddy Holly died. Tragic, and not just because of the loss of human life, but rather the loss to human culture. How many great songs will we never get to hear? At the very least, Buddy gets to be "forever young" in our minds for the rest of eternity. Cold comfort for those wishing for the what-might-have-been, but at least it's something.

Total Dude. One of the best to this day. He completely revolutionized music. Thanks.

cool to see Buddy on a British Triumph

What a privilege we had him to take us all on a musical rocket ride.We feel blessed he was with us at all.One guy that hauntingly resembled him (without glasses,as in the Coral Buddy Holly front cover)was(back in the 80's,at least,Pee Wee Herman-definite doppelganger,then.Couldve played him.

"Think It Over" is a favorite Buddy Holly song of mine. Thanks for using it.

Years ago I attended Waylon Jennings' estate sale in Brentwood, TN. Buddy Holly's motorcycle was there, offered for $,50,000, with no takers. I wonder if it was the same one in that video?

he was such a genius he was my age when he passed , may his music live forever

Great find here- real footage I'm assuming in Lubbock Texas. A deceased friends wife, grew up in Lubbock, with her back yard kiddy corner to Holly's, and who's mother would hold her up to watch (and hear) Holly and his band play. Now that's a childhood memory.

I love Buddy's songs! Thank you for uploading!

regarding this film, when the word "priceless" means exactly just that, nonmonetarily.

The bike in the opening is Allison's Triumph Trophy. Buddy's Ariel Cyclone can be seen at 8 seconds. Mauldin's Triumph Thunderbird is at 15 seconds. Buddy is in a solid white shirt.

This film was taken at the Allison home on 6th street in Lubbock. 6th street in the Overton Neighborhood is now known as Mac Davis Lane. Allison's mother and father along with brother Jaime (Jamie) are also in the film. Allison's mother Louise Ferguson Allison was the principal of Ballenger School in Lubbock. You will notice the yellow truck in the film which is a Texas Highway Department vehicle driven by James Allison. It's hard to see the Texas flag on the drivers' door. Buddy fans may notice the white saddle cover on the Ariel which was a protector for the standard brown saddle. Google Earth coordinates for this film are 33.589902° -101.865405°. Today the location is the entrance to a modern apartment complex. "That'll Be The Day" was written in the apartment complex entrance!
