Buddy did double tracking harmonies with himself. Sounded very good. I was always a fan of Buddy and the Everlys, and bought their records in preference to the Beatles.
I agree, with the "no compairison"....this was just a compliment..to Buddy Holly, a great singer/songwritter in his own right...a lot of ppl...re-recorded some songs...and we just forgot who "originated" them..lol.
This video is incredible!! Thank you so much for posting it!!! Better than Buddy Holly --- well, I'm not sure about that, but it is definitely different and equally as incredible!
Well, that'll be the day When you say goodbye That’ll be the day When you make me cry You say you're gonna leave You know it's a lie 'Cause that'll be the day When I die You gave me all your loving All your turtle doving All your hugs and your money too You said you know me You tell me only That someday well I'll be through That’ll be the day When you say goodbye That’ll be the day When you make me cry You say you're gonna leave You know it's a lie 'Cause that'll be the day When I die When Cupid shot his dart He shot it at your heart So if we ever part Well I'll leave you You sit and hold me You tell me boldly That someday Well, I'll be through That’ll be the day When you say goodbye Yes, that'll be the day When you make me cry You say you're gonna leave You know it's a lie 'Cause that'll be the day When I die
@bluesmandoc You are absolutely right! John and Paul were much influenced by the Everly Brothers tight harmony. I've always been a fan of the Everly Brothers but the Beatles are the Beatles....and there you go.
Splitting hairs in the opinion of some but the writing says they had a hit in 1965 and that this was taped in 1960. I disagree that this was done in 1960. 2 Reasons. #1) This is Shindig, although it could be from the episodes they taped in England, and Shindig wasn't on until 1964. #2) Their hair is longer and they weren't wearing it that long in 1960. After the arrival of the British Invasion the Americans began to grow their hair longer. And I love this.
yes i actulaly found that out a while ago. i didnt know they were such good friends but i like the Everly Brothers alot i was just stating that i like Buddy Holly's version better.
yeah but most of us.. respect an artist that sings live even if they know their not the best.. that's one thing that sadly, most artists arnt willing to take the risk on, which is a shame, it's also the reason ill never go to a concert unless im 100% sure the artist will sing live.
@tickyreal Totally agree, these people who watch these videoa and sgive a "Don't like" should be watching it in the first place if they don't like them.
@Leroyfis So if Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Fats Domino didn't play rockabilly, what did they play? Honestly, the everly brothers played more of a soft pop thingy while Chuck and Richard played rock. (He mentions Jerry Lee Lewis, who's basicly a white Little richard tha set his pianos on fire)
You're comparing a version that is done in a recording studio with God only knows how many takes in order to get it sounding just right to a version that is completely live. It would be more fair to compare an Everly Brother live to an Everly Brothers recorded and then a Buddy Holly live to a Buddy Holly recorded. There is no comparison which is why so many artists today (like Ashley Simpson) lip sinc. They KNOW they don't sound as good live!
@Jontenn I don't think that's becuz of Racism. Chuck Berry and Little Richard mostly where great Black musicians... but he said Rockabilly artists. Black musicians from the 50's overall didn't play that much Rockabilly!?!
Why with all you whippersnappers it has to be one or the other is better?? What about BOTH are good in their own way? As you live longer, you'll discover 'covers' of songs done by other artists. If you let yourself it can be a source of great pleasure.
Buddy Holly's version is so much better. come on its buddy's song to and buddy was the best of them all. I must admit though that this is also a good version but nobody can beat Buddy Holly.
