Buddy Holly and the Crickets were one of the most legendary bands ever. If it wasn’t for them, we probably wouldn’t have The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Elton, Bob Dylan. There’s so many famous groups that were inspired by the Crickets. Fucking legends. Rip

I guess all of us people who grew up in the 50's/60s love this music. They did not have all the technical gizmo that is available today. What you heard was it. No knocking todays musicians but most of the groups are manufactured. Will we be listening to their music in 50 years time?

Always wonder where music would have gone had he,Eddie Cochran,Big Bopper and others had not gone so soon. stones and Beatles were a big influence in the 60s ,along with the Animals,Who and countless others, but seriously,where would music have gone if Buddy had of survived? All accounts say he perfected overdubbing and various other ways of using his voice/others,and guitar over tones. I’m not anywhere near an expert on that, but do know that his music was heads above Elvis and many others for the times.

The beginning of an Era, rock and roll 👌!!! May it continue to evolve!

I had the thrill of seeing Angus "Gus" MacGregor perform as "Buddy" at the Strand Theater in London. There aren't enough superlatives to describe the show on the big stage. Angus absolutely "nailed" the role of Buddy with Buddy Holly's voice, mannerisms and stage presence. At the end of the show, Gus came out and thanked the standing room only crowd for coming, then the band played several of Buddy's songs. With the entire audience on their feet dancing to "Rave On", it was an evening to remember.

When I was 13 in 1981 I began appreciating the oldies. Buddy was the first singer I that was a true artist, and performer, and in 2019 he still is the best. Country, rock, and love songs, he did it all. What a talent.

LOVE that fender this dude is jamming. Buddy holly fan for over 30 years

my love for this song will not fade away

They came to Britain in the late 1950's as a trio and people here loved them. They played a Venue near me at the time but I had a Gig with my Band so could not go and see them and always regretted that. But I did get to see Eddie Cochran play live, and later played Gigs with Gene Vincent and Bill Haley, those were great days and we won't see and hear times like that again sad to say.

Buddy Holly was the *master* of quick, clean chord changes

I grew up with you buddy holy my mum played you music all the time and love your music and l still listening to it now lm 57 years old and you are the best love you reminds me of my mum who has passed away now but you bring back so many memories for me and my sister love it 😁
