It’s hard to believe, but at the time of Buddy Holly’s death at the age of twenty-two he had only been recording for two years. Yet during the course of his short career he had written and performed the most progressive music of his time. Laying the musical foundation for musicians generations too come. Buddy (a childhood nickname) was born Charles Hardin Holley in Lubbock Texas on September 7th, 1936. The “e” in Holly’s name was dropped due to a spelling error on his first recording contract. Excited, and not wanting to jeopardize his contract, he simply signed his name as Buddy Holly. Buddy performed during his teen years with close friend Bob Montgomery. Billing themselves as Buddy and Bob they performed local events throughout Lubbock, Texas. It was afte More...

Buddy Holly Smokey Joe's Cafe | Reviewer: Walter Sturm ------ About the song Smokey Joe's Cafe performed by Buddy Holly A real extraordinary performance by Buddy Holly, not very typical for him but reflecting his ability to deal with very different music styles (like the Beatles also did).

Buddy Holly: Musical Genius | Reviewer: Cogs ------ About artist/band Buddy Holly Buddy Holly may have only had a short life, and and an even shorter music career yet it was extremely influential. In my early teens I began to develop a real love for Rock 'n' Roll music and that is when I discovered Buddy. The 1970's were well upon us and the music left me largely unfulfilled and still does. Buddy Holly was a musical innovator and improviser as well as a composer. He had the sounds in his head and would try anything to get them into the material world for all to enjoy. Many new sounds and mixes came to be due to his musical ideas and inhibitions; all in the pre-electronic era. Sounds such as mixing classical instruments with electric guitars, recording in an empty grain silo to obtain a reverberating sound and from very soft love ballads to full on dance songs, he tried and achieved them all. No one other singer/song writer has been of such inspiration as he has to so many of the greats to follow after him. I am now 45 years old and my 8 year old daughter played an old Buddy Holly cassette of mine a couple of years ago and after listening to "Rock Around With Ollie Vee" become instantly hooked on him. Such is his musical charisma. This is the legacy he has left behind. He may have died but his music will always be alive. The world is a much brighter place due to this young mans passion and desire to make music for all to enjoy. That is the musical genius of Buddy Holly. new fan | Reviewer: Deb ------ About artist/band Buddy Holly i never really got into the older music...but when i moved in with my boyfriend....he loves buddy...so of course i have grown to love him too!! :D Buddy Holly | Reviewer: Sarah Niesel ------ About artist/band Buddy Holly Buddy Holly was the greatest 'rock n' roll' star of his time.

Dylan Allen i love buddy | Reviewer: chelsie wandzilak ------ About artist/band Buddy Holly i love buddy so much! his music is great and i love him. i actually have 52 pictures of him, i just can't get enough! i love him to death! Buddy Holly Review | Reviewer: Joe Leone ------ About the song Brown Eyed Handsome Man performed by Buddy Holly This song is probably one of the best kept secrets in Buddy Holly's repertoire. This song rocks! The guitar licks are bright and enrgetic, the vocals are exciting and alive. In the final verse the drummer Jerry Allison does a neat drum trick immitating the sound of a bat hitting a ball ("he hit a high fly into the stands" Drum). The lyrics (written by Chuck Berry) are very original, not your average pop song lyrics. This song has driving rhythms and a solid beat. This is by far the best version of the song. It is even better than Berry's original.
