@Songs Mirth - I had heard long ago that sometime in the year of 1955 in Lubbock , Texas when practicing in a garage - Buddy Holly vocals and guitar - Jerry Allison drums + Joe B. Mauldin upright bass - decided to call their trio the " Beetles " - (Just remember that here are many of these insects called beetles all over the ground in Texas) - But it was changed to the "Crickets" when drummer Jerry Allison suggested it a bit later later in that year ! And with that there is a link to the Beatles ! - Both John Lennon and Paul McCartney were big fans of Buddy Holly and the Crickets - In a mystical way - I feel that the idea of the name was sort of floating in the air when John and Paul named their band the Beatles - Joe Nania a.k.a.

I think that's more of a testament to how quickly music evolves into something unfamiliar rather than one to the quality of music today because I'm sure many people who were in their 70's back when Buddy Holly, Elvis, and The Beatles were performing would have said the same thing about their music; I'm just as certain about that as I am that my generation will eventually come to say the exact same things about the music of our children and grandchildren as well. I just think it's interesting how history repeats itself because for a time rock and roll was and even jazz were considered the devil's music and were thought to be bad influences on the youth.

[@guitar78ish]

@@douglasadams6024 I'll have to disagree with that statement. Although Chuck Berry started his carrier a year after Buddy Holly, his guitar style and song structure were more of a foundation for modern rock, and if we really dig into it, Bill Haley was playing in a similar fashion before both of them.( I'm sure there were others) I agree Buddy Holly did take his compositions to a different level, with the introduction of strings. *"Rock and roll originated from musical styles such as gospel, jump blues, jazz, boogie woogie, rhythm and blues, and country music. While rock and roll's formative elements can be heard in blues records from the 1920s, and in country records of the 1930s, the genre did not acquire its name until 1954". So it's seems it's more of an amalgamation of these early styles that shaped rock and roll, so we can't say it was the efforts of one particular person. *en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_and_roll#:~:text=Rock%20and%20roll%20originated%20from,acquire%20its%20name%20until%201954.

Finally, to borrow from Terry Pratchett in Soul Music, given the innovation and musical talent that Buddy showed within his life, imagine what he could have achieved had he live; he will always be '...more famous for the songs he didn't write...'

That 3 song set is wicked. It would smash on Mars.

[@paulcanis6297]

lol that's what I'm thinking. "But my goodness, look at that material!" I'll play those three songs any day, and be one happy, happy player! Such excellent tunes.

Gary Busey, absolute class. Could this be the best music bio ever.

5 Mal habe ich dieses Musical in London mir angesehen. Für mich war es das beste Musical aller Zeiten. Thank you Mr Buddy Holly

[@rhowar1]

I don't know if anyone would agree with me or not on this, but I've thought it for a very long time. Had Buddy Holly not died so early in life, he'd be the King of Rock&Roll and not Elvis. Don't get me wrong...I like Elvis, but Holly was a musical genius.

[@thegameskingdom811]

Fully agree

[@disneyfan8178]

@@thegameskingdom811 Plus, Buddy wrote and co-wrote most of his own music! Even Elvis couldn't say that!

[@tanyaholland4432]

Best ever music. Never a dull moment. Greatest entertainment since Elvis Presley. Keep on singing Gary.

Music like this is from the soul. From GOD.

Billy Geraghty … 1990s Buddy Holly Story Stage Show, London for my money. Had me dancing in the aisles … and believe me, you can’t Unsee that.

Iam just in my 60s now but I've always Loved Buddy Holly just pure genius and Gary Busey was incredible in this film

[@robertbishop5357]

Talk about crossing racial barriers. There were none that night. Buddy got a whole passel of fans that night. Adoring fans. The Apollo was a major venue. If an act did well there they were gonna be big.

Yeah white Texas boys winning over the blacks would have been a big deal. It was like Eminem and rap of it's day since Rock N Roll was considered coloured music still born of the blues.

I mean, they actually booed them at first but that made it more impressive when they ended up liking them.

Colors have no place in music! It unites us like no other

[@catsmeow6858]

Saw this movie years ago and was amazed at Gary Busey's performance. A wonderful telling of the life of Buddy Holly.

[@vincenthewlett4329]

Really dont know why Gary Busey did not get an Oscar for this film....he should have

[@TheFunktipus1]

Well done Gary and co. Great performance.

[@KapowpowBoom]

I think I was about 7 when my parents who grew up on this music rented this movie. I feel in love with it right away. Damn that commercial we already donate to the ASPCA!!!! Anyway, I had always wondered how the NY City crowd reacted. Apparently, it took daaaays! I believe it! Someone in the comments schooled me on it. Thank you for that. Without that toughness or whatever you want to call it, we wouldn't have Rock N Roll, without Chuck Berry!!! Thank you , Lord!!!Thank you Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens and Rock Around the Clock!!!!

[@georgecoles7988]

Gary should have won the Oscar for his performance in this movie
