While most musical guests were given 2 songs, Holly got just the one.īuick spun this into the jingle “Oh, Buick!” for a 1987 commercial. Possibly in retaliation, Sullivan introduced him as “Buddy Hollet,” and Holly can be seen trying to turn up his guitar, which had been set too low. Sullivan was not happy with the song selection, as he considered it too raunchy, but Holly insisted on performing it. ![]() Holly and The Crickets performed this on their second and final Ed Sullivan Show appearance on January 26, 1958. This was credited to The Crickets, who were Holly’s band. It got a boost when it was covered by The Rolling Stones in 1964. While this song did fade away, the B-side has become one of Holly’s well-known songs. This was released as a single with “Not Fade Away” as the B-side. This song was paired with the “b” side Not Fade Away…which later became very popular when the Rolling Stones covered it in 1964.īackground vocals were added later by The Picks (Bill & John Pickering, Bob Lapham). The song peaked at #19 in the US Hot 100 and #3 in the UK. Buddy’s Strat comes through clear as he plays against the drums. From the Crickets backups to the pounding drums of Jerry Allison. This rocker is a simple song but there is so much going on in the background. Buddy arranged these songs to sound so big with just a few instruments. In the musical, there was just “Buddy”, a bass player and a drummer and the songs exploded off the stage. In the 90s I saw a musical play called Buddy that was touring the country. This song played live is very powerful along with Buddy’s other songs.
