He was so beautiful inside and out and had such a gorgeous singing and normal voice, his laugh is just amazing :) and I just don't know why he had to be taken away from us at such a young age. He had so much ahead of him. His death truly saddens me, it really upsets me how when you type in his name the word 'death' comes after it on the first search, everywhere you go for Buddy his death is always mentioned and it is so so sad 😔 Rest In Peace Buddy I hope you're making hits in heaven ❣️

[@rattyeely]

You're right it's so sad how you can't search him without his death coming up

[@samuraibounds]

I think it's because the world is still reeling from it, as much I myself don't like hearing about it. It pains me how lovely it'd be to still have him kicking around and what his future held. Same with James Dean

[@DeeDee62750]

An interesting fact about Buddy that I just learned recently after my latest visit the Buddy Holly Center here in Lubbock. Buddy was planning to start his own recording studio in Lubbock. He had paid $5,500 as a down payment for some property here. It was to be called Prism Records. Business cards had already been made in Clovis, NM. He was going to use some of that property to build his parents a new home. He was also going to start a publishing house called Holly House. Here in Lubbock they are building The Buddy Holly Hall of Performing Arts and Sciences. It is going to be amazing and should be finished next year! A relatively new addition to the Buddy Holly Center is an original booth from the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa where Buddy, Ritchie, and the Big Bopper played their last concert on February 2, 1959. It's really rather sad to look at it and remember the tragedy that happened later. In regard to learning more about Buddy's life, I would suggest the music videos on KZbin produced by Paul McCartney. They are called The Real Buddy Holly Story. The are excellent!

[@dynjarren7523]

Deborah Dickson Thanks for that information that I did not know. It shows me how smart he was! I think he would have gone on to become an incredible producer as well. Who knows what musical ideas we would have heard later on from him. A great loss of a great talent and guy.

[@DeeDee62750]

@@dynjarren7523 Buddy really was a musical genius. He was so creative and innovative. His star was just starting to shine. As someone said, he was like a falling star burning bright, then he was gone. Makes me so sad ever time I think about him dying so young. What could have been. The music that died that day was the music still left in Buddy Holly.

Thank you so much for posting this amazing video! It makes me smile the way he spoke and his laugh was quite dorky. Lol! I just wished I could of met him back in the late 50’s. Buddy will always be one of my favorite singers of all time!

We appreciate your comment, but I don’t think anyone else would say his laugh was ‘dorky’. Do you mean ‘awkward’ maybe?

There's not many interviews with Buddy and it's sad. Especially now we learn all his master recording tapes are lost in the fire. Along with many other master tapes of other artists. The loss is incalculable.

[@andymathewson160]

There at least one more interview not included here. It's rather a strange one, an interview with a BBC Midlands station during the Crickets' UK tour. In it Buddy asserts that the Crickets sing backup vocals on stage. You can find it on YT by searching for The Crickets in UK (I think).

[@Thighanmighty]

What a great man, Buddy was. Lovely to listen to him speaking. He was classy, smart, so talented. This fall, I'm going to start dressing Ivy League, just like Buddy did.

Back in the mid 80s I would go to thrift stores to find clothes from the fifties so I could dress like Buddy. Right in the middle of "New Wave", I preferred Buddy and the "Old Wave". My friends thought I was crazy. God bless Buddy Holly

[@madahad9]

Just watched The Buddy Holly Story again. I'm sure it plays fast and loose with the facts but it's still a great movie with Gary Busey's amazing performance. If he didn't get an Academy Award he certainly deserved it. Buddy's passing mentioning of a crashed helicopter can't help sent chills up the spine in light of his own life cut short. One can only speculate how he might have evolved as a musician as the music radically changed over the decades.

He sounds so young. His singing voice was magical. Listening to him speak in longer stretches like in these interviews allows for the realization of just how young he truly was back then. I know - 20 years old at the time of his passing (I think I am remembering correctly) - but hearing this ... it's a little jarring.

[@heathstjohn6775]

Dale Lowry has something of the manner of Bob Newhart, or vice versa. Holly's pronunciation of ' Not Fade ' Away ' has always surprised me. I've never been able to hear what's being said in the background, over the stage microphone. I wonder if there's a software that can separate it to hear ? I've never heard the whole Pat Barton interview, before. The humour about Mansfield wasn't noticed. I'm glad that I can now remember, too, not just Holly's mistake about rock ' n ' '' Going out quite a bit in the States '', with Robinson, but now, his correct forecast about nobody being able to take Presley's place. Since he knew him quite well, I wondet why he used Presley's surname ?
