Buddy Holly was my all time hero growing up and I know exactly where I was when he died, and thanks to Linda for saving his song book and thank you for giving his songs to the next generation through your beautiful voice..
I was 12 and suddenly the world seemed a little less wonderful. I thought the Buddy Holley sound was so new and exciting, back then. We have had some wonderful artists over the years, but not another Buddy Holly...so unique and innovative.
@@johngunther6333 IDK, even as kids, were we a different people back then? Many had gone and many more went after him, many greats too, but none so Great.
There will only ever be one Linda Ronstadt. I was bewildered how such a pretty, petite little angel like that could belt out such forceful vocals in perfect pitch.
Great cover by this band, and nice to know talented musicians out there are still performing these classics. I see the ‘Linda Ronstadt experience’ includes going barefoot, just as Linda sometimes did. 🦶🏻🦶🏻 😀
That is true that there is only one Linda. Her voice and music transcended time too. Linda had such a powerful voice and quite an octave range. She'd be a tough act to follow. Give this girl credit for even trying Linda's music. This band is really good too.
The Lady is God's gift to mankind and the gentlemen assist her perfectly. Awesome thanks for sending joy to the world. Your friend Gerhard M. Cziep, Germany ❤
Fell in love with her voice with the stone poneys and after that I saw her looks while I'm beautiful girl I watched her three times last time I saw her was in Santa Rosa canciones de me padre
First off Norman Petty wrote no Cricket songs, he was a recorder, producer who put his name on them, this song was probably written by Jerry Allison, who also wrote Peggy Sue, he was the Crickets drummer and multi instrumentalist and after Buddy died he had Buddy added to some songs writing credits. Excellent rendition tho'
Just for the record, when Buddy and Jerry wrote 'That'll be the day', they had never met Norman Petty. To be fair, Petty was fundamental as an engineer on songs such as Peggy Sue, but just like Al Jolson, and some others, he added his name to songs he did not write.
And did his best to hog most of the money from what I understand. Had he paid the royalties Holly deserved, he would not have been on that Winter Dance Party tour ...
Exactly. Norman Petty had a recording studio in Clovis NM and never wrote a word. Thankfully Paul McCartney bought the catalog and gave all the rights to Buddy's mom and his widow Maria Elena.
Don't think Norman Petty had ANYTHING to do with writing this song. The story goes that after hearing John Wayne use the line "That'll be the day" several times in the 1956 movie "The Searchers", Buddy and Crickets drummer Jerry Allison wrote this #1 hit. Petty, whose studio in Clovis produced a number of Buddy's songs, stuck his name on the song as a co-writer and collected royalties on it the remainder of his life.
I was busy and cleaning and just letting the songs play on from Lynda and Tristan. I was sure it was Lynda singing and it wasn't, it was Tristan. I could not tell the difference.
Norman Petty didn't write anything, he used to put his name on songs of his clients, then collect royalties he didn't earn, this song was written by Buddy and drummer Jerry Allison.
