I was in seventh grade in a Catholic school in Chicago when our teacher, a nun, announced the death of Richie Valens, Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper in a plane crash. I was aware of the music of all three and it appeared our teacher was too. She was very solemn and asked that the class bow our heads and recite a prayer for the souls of the three departed. I still remember that scene as if it happened yesterday.

To address the concerns of those commenting about the audio and picture quality; Ed Sullivan used kinoscopes until July 1959, when he switched over to video tape. As a result, at that time, there is a marked increase in sound and video quality. Most TV shows of the '50's were recorded on kinoscopes as that was all that was available. We are fortunate that the Ed Sullivan shows were preserved as many kinoscopes of other shows are lost. As for uploading in HD, video footage can only look as good as the source material. Whether or not someone uploads in HD, it won't truly be HD if it wasn't shot in HD, and HD didn't exist then. Some people have uploaded this Buddy Holly footage with fake HD, and by over-laying the studio recording over the original audio track, which is why their posts sound technically better. Here you are getting the footage in its original form, with live audio (not an over-laid studio recording matched up to the original live performance) and looking the way it was originally broadcasted in 1957. You have to make allowances for the technology that was available at the time. Of course, the shows from the fall of 1959 onward exist in better condition since they were recorded on videotape and the technology progressively got better. Let's not discourage them from uploading these vintage kinoscopes, because the 1950's (as well as the early 1960's) episodes of Ed Sullivan featured some of the greatest performers, and much of the footage is quite rare. I'd love to see all the musical performances from the black and white episodes.

He lived long enough to change HOW Rock was played. Rather than deep twangy guitar and clicking on the drum kit, they SHREDDED IT. Percussion was more active and moved forward in the mix. The guitar was played with the concept of having a rhythm guitar and a lead guitar. He was a game changer regarding HOW rock was executed.

I'd call it more of an early attempt at rock. It's definitely not perfected. The bass isn't electrified yet which is clearly a limiting factor in their sound. The way it's mic'ed up is just not really working. A bass in a tin can isn't really a bass. Also, the drum kit sounds like it has one mic for all of the drums. It would never be done that way, today. The drums typically have a mic for nearly everything. I don't really hear the rhythm, at all. Today, the rhythm guitar would be loud compared to everything else to, sort of, cover for the lead. The only guitar I'm hearing is the lead...and it's being played like a rhythm, TBH. There really isn't any lead, so no solo either. I wouldn't call this rock by todays standards but it's a stepping stone.

So many great songs in a short career...they still hold up to this day.

There was another side to Sullivan: he could be very quick to take offense if he felt he had been crossed, and could hold a grudge for a long time. This could unfortunately be seen as a part of his TV personality. Buddy Holly became intimately familiar with Sullivan's negative side. On January 26, 1958, for their second appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, Buddy Holly and the Crickets were scheduled to perform two songs. Sullivan wanted the band to substitute a different song for their record hit "Oh, Boy!", which he felt was too raucous. Holly had already told his hometown friends in Texas that he would be singing "Oh, Boy!" for them, and told Sullivan as much. During the afternoon the Crickets were summoned to rehearsal at short notice, but only Holly was in their dressing room. When asked where the others were, Holly replied, "I don't know. No telling." Sullivan then turned to Holly and said "I guess The Crickets are not too excited to be on The Ed Sullivan Show" to which Holly caustically replied, "I hope they're damn more excited than I am." Sullivan, already bothered by the choice of songs, was now even angrier. He cut the Crickets' act from two songs to one, and when introducing them mispronounced Holly's name, so it came out vaguely as 'Hollered' or "Holland." In addition, Sullivan saw to it that the line feed for Holly's electric guitar was turned off. Holly tried to compensate by singing as loudly as he could, and repeatedly trying to turn up the volume on his guitar. For the instrumental break he cut loose with a dramatic solo, making clear to the audience that the technical fault wasn't his. The band was received so well that Sullivan was forced to invite them back for a third appearance. Holly's response was that Sullivan didn't have enough money. Film of the performance survives; photographs taken that day show Sullivan looking angry and Holly smirking and perhaps ignoring Sullivan

RIP Jerry Allison; a great drummer.

Buddy Holly was unique with his singing style and his hiccups. It was charming to hear him and he didn’t even need a microphone. He was only 22 when he passed on and God knows the heights he would have reached musically. RIP

Pretty sure that thing hanging from his neck is a mic but I could be wrong

I think they had a microphone above them

The music , the colossal hits he created in the amount of time he walked the Earth . Staggering ..

I have performed this song both solo and in bands since around 1960. I have never seen this clip before and I wish I had a drummer like that in my band days.

A timeless masterpiece for a bygone epoch with rebellion, imagination and fantasy.Nothing can bring back memories better,than a song which he was once connected with.

It's now the year of 2021, and Buddy Holly still rocks!

They will be saying the same thing in 2121.

The 1st Rock performer to ever wear glasses. Peggy Sue was originally called Cindy Lou and the song didn't sound right. So Jerry Allison the drummer suggested to Buddy to use his girl's name as a song title. The rest is history because the Crickets were the standard lineup for a band. Other groups followed this example and others follow this example till this day.

I'm pretty sure Bo Diddley wore glasses before this, of course it depends on whether or not you consider him a rock or blues performer

@@rattyeely Bo is a little bit of both. Why is it that everyone credits Buddy for being the 1st rocker to wear glasses ? Because that's what it says on most albums, CD'S and most Rock encyclopedias. This is what I always heard, if Bo is the 1st one to do that it's definitely a new one on me. Then it needs to be disputed with the Rock Historians. If it's true then they need to change that.

I had a co-worker who was named after this song. She was just "Peggy" in the workplace and I figured her name was Margaret (bc Peggy is a nickname for Margaret). But she told me, No, it's Peggy Sue, even on my birth certificate. I had another co-worker (different job) named Shirelle, after the early 60s girl group the Shirelles. Yeah, I know, enough already.

Just put a post on saying just that,sorry,should have read a bit more.

Just love how smart and well groomed these guys were. And backing it up with great music. And the confidence just came through. They knew they had something special.

Just a side story. I live in Iowa, not terribly far from the crash site. After all this time, people still come to the site and to the restaurant, or club, where they performed. There's a yearly "event", ending with a sold out show at the restaurant!

Buddy Holly & the Crickets were nothing but clean fun music to listen too. We need more music like him today. He died way to soon for his time..

Ladies and gentlemen, the first rock and roll band ever.

July 2024 🎉...I ❤ this song

R.I.P Jerry Allison…together with Buddy,Nikki and Joe xx Never forgotten

As long as I’m around this group and especially Buddy will be admired and appreciated. He was a volcano ready to explode into the 60s and we’ll never know what was coming but be do know what was done and it was brilliant! He remains an inspiration to musicians to this day and the band along with him 👌

Too bad the camera missed Buddy Holly's guitar solo on this.

Happy 86th birthday Buddy Holly! 🎸

Always glad to see you upload Buddy Holly. I hope you will also put up "Oh Boy" which is my favorite! More popular music from the 1950's and early 1960's please! I hope to also see a great number of lesser-known singers from this time period who were hit-makers during their time. You can help preserve their memories and introduce them to people who have never heard of them.

Tom, some suggestions for some that I know were on, but maybe not superstars: Buddy Knox - "Party Doll" Jimmie Rodgers - "Honeycomb" Charlie Gracie - "Butterfly." Ivory Joe Hunter - "Since I Met You" Ink Spots - "If I Didn't Care" The Fleetwoods - "Come Softly to Me" Lloyd Price - "Personality"

@@MostlyBrenda I would love to see all of those artists posted here! Jimmie Rodgers is a good bet since they have released videos of him in TV compilations of the past. I'd also love to see really rare footage that I've never seen before from Ed Sullivan like Linda Scott doing "Christmas Day", Joni James, Kathy Linden, Eileen Barton, Sunny Gale, the Four Lads, Billy Ward and the Dominoes, along with great tenors such as James Melton "Beyond the Sea" and Jan Peerce. They had a lot of great opera singers on the show doing pop songs as well as opera and they are very under-represented on this channel. It's astounding to me that they have never officially released any of the great performances by the Platters, including their incredible rendition of "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes". In my opinion, the Platters were the best music group of the 1950's due to the beautiful voice of Tony Williams, and timeless songs. Of course, I'd love to see a great many of Teresa Brewer performances, who performed on the show more than anyone else and was probably Ed's favorite female singer (and one of mine as well). Ed preferred the old-fashioned music to rock and roll. Ed frequently invited singers who were popular in the 1920's and even earlier on his show too, so there is some really historic rare footage of singers such as Will Oakland, Helen Kane, Sophie Tucker, Blossom Seeley and others, which may never be seen again. There is an incredible wealth of important and historic musical footage in the Ed Sullivan archives, much of which hasn't been seen since it was first aired. I hope someday it will all be available, and not just the more common mainstream footage.

@@MostlyBrenda Do I ever agree with you! I've been through the episode guide for the Steve Allen show, and there are many performances I'd love to get hold of. Joni James, Kathy Linden, Jan Peerce, Jerry Vale, Janice Harper and many others were on his great show too. Same for Perry Como. The copyright laws need major revision, especially on vintage footage. Entertainment is meant to be enjoyed, not hidden away. I also agree that there are so many great artists that modern generations know nothing about, largely because they aren't given play and exposure today. I really hope this channel will eventually post more obscure artists, but I'm not getting my hopes up. They might think there is no interest, but they would be wrong. People would enjoy it if they were given a chance to see it.

Buddy Holly museum in Lubbock is amazing. I cried when I saw all his stuffs.

Classic performers. I could dance all night and Im 77. Dont know if Id make it to the morning. But id have a fun night.🌈
