The Buddy Holly Story Full Movie HQ Columbia 

I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that buddy would have gone on to be as big...if not bigger than Elvis Presley...he was cruelly snatched from us too soon.

This is Gary Busy’s best acting ever. He made this movie what it is today. I’m watching for the third time. Thank you Gary for the wonderful memories

60 Years Ago Buddy Was sadly Taking From The World But His Music Still Lives On Forever

Watching in 2019- and what can I say!!! Gary busey played the part superbly & the crickets absolutely bowled they part 🙌🙌🙌 RIP Buddy ....JP.....Ritchie V

Brings chill to me. I actually remember the horrible news come over the radio or tv about the plane crash. My older brother came into the room and said they are all dead to my parents. My Mum asked who and that was history. I was nearly 5 years old and I remember feeling so sad that all these people died in a plane crash. I did not know at the time or understand how the loss would impact on the world of music.RIP to them all.

Without the likes of this guy,the music of today would be so different.Long live Rock and Roll.

Thanks for uploading! Not watched this in over 20 yrs! And how great is Gary Busey!!! He sang it all! Amazing!!

r.i.p buddy and all who passed that horrible night GNGB

I absolutely love this film watched it many times again and again over the years, I wasn't alive when Buddy was alive and died. Found him when I was 15 in 1987...I think he's one of the greatest losses in music of his time and it would have been an honour to have been alive when he was, I absolutely love him. His music will always live on. There is a few greatest musician losses in the world and Buddy was definitely one of them. Genius, talented young man so glad I came across him.

I thought Gary Busey fitted very well in this movie, some really great acting and singing, Buddy would of been proud I think

This great music will never die -Buddy Holly lives on!!

If you love Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens etc you should watch the film "La Bamba" as well

Amazing performance by Gary Busey. Buddy Holly the great lost rock n roller who influenced a whole generation ✌️

Oh man......so sad how these three perished. Gary Busey did an amazing Buddy in this movie. He actually sang and played guitar himself. The Big Bopper , also did some great rock'n roll.

This is the first time I have ever watched this film but it won't be my last. Thank you for uploading it!

Here is a LEGEND who came to the cross roads at the Apollo Theatre and took the People down the road and TOGETHER they crossed a Bridge :)

Died too young but still a legend in my eyes

gary busey is fit for the role big time

It is a very good movie. Thank you for sharing! . . . R.I.P you guys.

I saw this movie in 1979 and 38 years later, I'm watching it again.

1:50:40 whenever I watch this film after he says the final line, I always say "but he never did". The string and guitar arrangement of True Love Ways that is used as the credits roll can easily bring a tear to the eye!

Great work and performance . Thank you so much Gary Busey 🎸😍 ! Buddy Holly was really good 🎸😍💝

Buddy Holly a great artist and such a tragic ending I was 14 when he died so very sad. Great film great music.

IT IS JUST A FILM.....I keep telling myself that but it still makes me cry ..It is brilliant and I thank you for sharing it with us ...

Gary Busey did brilliantly in this role other than the fact that his teeth were nothing like those of Buddy Holly.

What a great movie buddy holly his music is timeless it will always live on rip buddy

Dion and the bellmonts were. Also on that bus .Should have hired another bus not that crappy 3 seater plane. What a tragic loss , god I cried when Elvis died but this was another heart breaking loss to every Rock n Roll lover. R.i.p guys .

The music was pure magic

I have watched this film many times.. Gary busey is probably the only person who could pull it off. He was excellent. I’m from a rural part of Ireland called Donegal a million miles from Texas . I can’t remember how I heard him but I did and was hooked on his music from that day. So good was his talent. 30 years after I heard him I’m still listening. No one will ever come close to him in my opinion. GBNF legend that he was.

The day Buddy Holly died I was not around to see, But as the years go down the line His words of love is what I feel. He sang about pretty Peggy Sue and rocked around with Ollie Vee, And I sit here and I rave on to his memory. Oh Boy, his music will not fade away and though it's raining in my heart, his true love ways he left behind brings me joy Everyday.

This is a great film because it let's you imagine what it would be like to see Buddy Holly live

Fantastic - thanks for uploading! Gary Busey is so totally believable as Holly - it's a great performance.

'Charles Hardin Holley' (yes, with an E)

Amazing movie! So sad, but this guys are immortal!

I like Rock more when it was Elvis Presley Buddy Holly Ritchie Valens Little Richard The Beatles Jerry Lee Lewis Eddie Cochran and Chuck Berry today Rock is now Iron Maiden, Kiss, Metallica, Guns N 'Roses and Nirvana I don't think it's funny in these Rock 😒😒😒😒

Hey Gabe :)) thank u so Much for uploading this awesome movie :) i Always wanted to see it :)

Thanks a million for this great, nostalgic movie. Gary Busey is absolutely brilliant.

Haha...in the 50s there was no Fender Stratocaster with big ugly CBS Headstock.

Just realised that during the end of the move, Buddy Holly is playing a cbs era strat which didnt come out till 1966

I love this movie ,and always have. I was 10 years old when Buddy and his Pals were killed 59 years ago. Thanks for the upload. The music sounded great and all the cast in this movie sure did a fine job of acting.All in all it is a Gem of the music of long ago,and it felt good watching it again. BB

I remember being at high school and somebody said to me, Elvis is dead. I thought Elvis can't be dead. Later after inquiring I found out it was Buddy. What I heard was just some rumour going around. It was a shock feeling.

Love this Movie i work on a Hospital Radio from Tuesday Till Friday 10 am till 1 pm www.clonmelhr.org and i often say on air What fantastic Music we have Missed out on with music of Buddy Holly Ritchie Valens The Big Bopper John Lennon and many more. Gabe3996 thanks for the share Don McLean said it better . A long long time ago I can still remember how That music used to make me smile And I knew if I had my chance That I could make those people dance And maybe they'd be happy for a while But February made me shiver With every paper I'd deliver Bad news on the doorstep I couldn't take one more step I can't remember if I cried When I read about his widowed bride Something touched me deep inside The day the music died So .

Many thanks for the upload, a very interesting story. I remember when the church was up in arms about Rock and Roll, they considered it the Devil's music. How mistaken!

great film,oh boy.

I decided to watch this today. Not many people may know this, but it's exactly 60 years since the day of the tragic plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper. Those three musicians will always be remembered as talented men among the stars of Rock & Roll's hall of fame.

GOD BLESS HIS SOUL GREAT MAN ACTOR COMEDIAN

gary busey made a good casting choice

couldn't they have taken legal action or at least used it as a bargaining card to get a much better deal? Can you imaging a record company releasing a song now that became a huge hit but not contacting the artist first !

Factually incorrect in many ways, the most obvious is Holly Tiles, when everybody should know it's Holley Tiles

The words "rest in peace " are too little to express the feelings. Thanks so much for the music!

Any time I have an argument with the missus, I walk off saying get me the hell back to Lubbock Texas... She has no idea what I'm talking about.

thank u for this movie. buddy holly has made me live in my own language with his music.

Usually the Oscars love biographies. Gary Busey should have won one for this film.

They failed to add Ritchie Valens, i know hes mexican, he matter too. Everytime time they talk abouut "the day the music died" its all about Buddy Holly, Ritchie had good songs too

Loved this movie for many years... Personally, i always felt that the movie should've ended on a feel good theme to emphasise that their musical legacy has and always will endure !!

this 'crap thing' doesn't give justice to Buddy Holly AT ALL!!! impossible to watch if you're a real Buddy fan.

great movie BUT they tell it as Elvis's story

Is it wierd that I watched this film at 4/5 years old??

That looks fun, a band in a rollerskating place. Never seen it before looks really cool.

LOL for all the Telecaster nuts out there who will be spewing because Buddy played the Apollo in 57 and rosewood fretboards were put on Telecasters in 1959.

if I could time travel all would do is go and see buddy live but being a 13 yr old that never would have been possible

Looks like I will need some hankies for this one just like I did with La Bamba and Sweet Dreams. 😢😢

RIP Buddy Holley

When I watched the UK Tour of the musical, there were so many elderly who behaved as teens, when watching the show, dancing in the isles. It was so much fun. Fell in love with Buffy, the Crickets, JP Richardson (the Big Bopper) and Ritchie Valens

Super film, shame they got the guitars wrong. Small point but Holly only used sunburst Stratocasters. Doesn't detract from the film but historically I think they could have used the correct guitars unless there was some copyright issues.

one of the best castings ever made

I was a child in the 1950s and well remember this kind of music being played on the radio. My brother, 9 years older than me, loved it, mum accepted it, but dad despised it with a vengeance! :0) Until then I had enjoyed listening with him to his classical music records but, bearing in mind I was only 6 at the time, I sided with him, until I felt my brother's passion for it. Tommy Steele, Marty Wilde, Elvis, Billy Fury, Cliff, Del Shannon, Eddie Cochran etc and, of course, Buddy Holly. It was a wonderful time.

Great performance by Gary Busey.

Buddy Holly recorded many hits in a little studio in Clovis New Mexico. No mention in the movie.

Thank you Gabe for bringing this film on...have wanted to see it for a long time, and much better than expected ... just love that guy and his music. What a sad demise this young age

Schöner Film über Buddy Holly. Sehr gute Darstellung von Gary Busey. Aber wie jeder Film natürlich eine verkürzte Darstellung .Und Buddy hätte sich sicher gefreut, wenn seine Musik schon damals so geklungen hätte wie in dem Film. Ausgenommen sein Gesang. Als Norman Petty 1963 "Brown Eyed Handsome Man " mit den Gitarren der Fireballs neu unterlegte, schoss dieses Stück sofort an die Spitze der britischen Charts. Überhaupt spielt Petty keine Rolle in diesem Film-wird er überhaupt erwähnt ? Trotzdem ein schöner Film über einen der Pioniere des Rock n Roll, der neben Eddie Cochran die Musik der 60er Jahre entscheidend prägte. Nice movie about Buddy Holly. Good Job done by Gary Busey. But as always in movies only a few episodes from Buddy's life, often not correct. But Buddy would have enjoyed the sound of his songs in the movie, which was far better than in the fifties .When Norman Petty in 1963 pimped Buddy's Brown Eyed Handsome Man with the new guitars of the Fireballs, it went straight to the top of the British Charts. Anyway...seems like the role of Petty is completely ignored in this movie. Nevertheless a nice movie about a Pioneer of Rock'n Roll. He and Eddie Cochran prepared the way for the music and the groups of the sixties.

This movie is brilliant! I have seen Gary Busey in Predator 2 and Contact, but this is absolutely brilliant. Buddy Holly would be proud indeed.

The candle that burns twice as brightly burns half as long. Best wishes, Villiago.

Waow! I am a Buddy Holly fan. Great movie. What a beautiful time. Greetings from Belgium. Very American, we love it over here. Interesting story they all had.

Thanks for posting! love this film, love the uploader, pretty much love everyone right now!! 💜💖💗💗💖💜

Magical Movie about a Rock & Roll giant Buddy Holly who died On Tuesday February 3nd 1959 and he will be missed but his Music will live On forever

buddy holley music was fantastic . And his a great artist an artist he disves respect. love you so much buddy holley lives on forever.

Very well acted saw many years ago still holds the magic

He should have won the oscar for this performance 🎉

Shame most of this film's storyline ignored the truth....frabkly it was b*****t. Holly and the crickets produced the revised version of That'll be the day at Norman Petty's Nor Va Jak studio in Clovis New Mexico, and it was released on Coral, a subsidery of Decca where they originally recorded at Owen Bradley's studio in Nashville. Why have they messed about with the story?

What a beautiful ending... RIP Buddy, J.P, Richie.

You just know that bad ending is coming RIP BH RV Big Bopper

Incredible performance from cast. Gary was magnificent. Althought the truth was hollywooded for film its still a great film. Enjoy it for what it is. The music...

should be a stratocaster

Gary Bussey did the singing in this movie.

R.I.P BUDDY

The wrong type of guitar, the story is not correct either.

Buddy Holly was the best, I love Buddy Holly's music,

Buddy was one of the most terrible loses along with john lennon to the music world .

Great musical movie. Good tribute to Buddy holly .Buddy be rocking if he saw this movie portrayed by Gary busey

Good film if you like fiction.changed names! Norman Petty not there! The crickets split wasn't like that, etc, etc

Funny how Columbia spent a lot to create the 56 vibe but could not get hold of a correct era Fender amp and guitar. As a guitarist, that hurts

Found Gary Busey less than convincing as Buddy but tough boots to fill. Buddy was not a geeky moron as portrayed. He was a sensitive & shy kind of guy but his passion for his music came over in his simple sweet songs & the energy he put into them. I was 13 years old when I first heard Peggy Sue & That'll be the day. I was hooked immediately. When he came to England I was mortified that I was not allowed to attend his concerts because I was too young in my parent's opinion. Saw him on Sunday night at the London Palladium & was blown away. It's hard to describe the impact of his music at the time. Rock'n'roll was a breath of fresh air in the age of crooners & pop schmaltz. His songs were the soundtrack of my youth & his death a year later was devastating. So sad he was forced to take that fateful tour because of his manager's shenanigans & his need for money demanded by his recent marriage. A tragic loss...

Interesting insight of a music leyend.

Before Beatlemania, there was Hollymania.

Thank u so much for sharing this great movie with us!!!!!!!!!!!

tyvm for sharing this movie ..... enjoyed it 👍

Anyone else think Sol Gittler is Paul McCartney's fat grumpy doppelganger? The Ghost Of McCartney Future in 1978. Maybe that was his big problem with the film..

As the poet said: "men die, but musics stays forever"

There is a serious error. The guitar the actor uses in the film is a 68's stratocaster with rosewood fretboard. Instead, Buddy holly in 68 had already died, 10 years before. He used a 57 with maple fretboard.
