I agree 100%, Elvis had the great voice and presence, but Buddy was the true essence and embodiment of R&R. He mostly wrote his own music, was an exceptional musician, and was the first to front a full band. He would have evolved as the Beatles did, which would have given us an incredible catalog of music, if not for that tragic accident. Elvis, at the end, was a glorified lounge performer. He rarely composed any of his music, and was not much of a musician.

My friend is a collector and also has autographs of Richie Valens Michael Jackson even A Samuel Addams signature. I first seen his collection and I was astonished at the various famous people who his collection contains. Honesty Buddy Holly is My Favorite. When I took a winter route to LA from Omaha Nebraska, I took the southern route to avoid winter storms especially Colorado.i made Sure it went through Lubock Texas in honor of Buddy Holly. I also took route 66 Because I sang the song so much in Cover Band's I had. I went through Roswell New Mexico Too ❤️ I have a great interest in UFO'S Too ❤️ LoL Living in Omaha Nebraska I Had several Opertunities to play with BUDDY MILES TOO. I WAS A BASS PLAYER FOR A TRIBUTE BAND TO JIMI HENDRIX ( Rex-perience) my friend Grover Lipkins started (He Was JIMI HENDRIX) lol 😂 I Loved that Band Too ❤️... You never get tired of playing Jimi Hendrix.When Buddy Miles was in Town We had Buddy Miles playing drums of course. Buddy Miles also had BLACK Flag and BAND of Gypsy's Too..

I realize that a lot of people probably say this a lot, but I cannot imagine how much he would have influenced music if he had lived well into the late sixties. He was so talented and so young and he had so much more to do and give, but in the few short years he was alive, he made such a huge impact. I mean even if he had lived 5 more years into the mid sixties who knows how big he would have gotten. The Beatles owned the sixties, but I think Buddy Holly would have at least given them a run for their money into the sixties. Also, even if he never achieved the status the Beatles did, Buddy would have ran in their circles more I imagine and also he could have been on tour with and or around them maybe. Even though their music was different, Buddy would have developed more with age and technology. I strongly believe that also he wanted to become a producer and who knows what he could have produced later and who? Also, imagine what Richie was going to achieve they were all so so so young.

I remember that day well, I was 16 years old waiting to turn 17 in March, Buddy Holly was my favorite singer at the time. and I was very happy that he was coming to a place where I could see him. I was born and raised in Minnesota and some friends and I were planning on going to the Crystal Ballroom in Fargo ND to see him. When I heard the news on the radio, it was like someone had pulled the rug out from under me and I was in shock. What was very ironic was the fact that, right after that every one was p-laying his new recording. IT DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE! I both loved and hated that recording!!

Jan 30, 2020: I dedicate this video to Sgt Manuel R. Martinez, 23, who was killed in an auto accident on Aug 22, 1975 south of Santa Fe. Returning to Albuquerque from a long work week at the Farmington mine, he rolled his 240Z Datsun. (His hard work at $2000 a month cost him his life.) Manuel trained as a Marine at Camp Pendleton (radio operator), served a year in Okinawa and was a Catholic, member of the VFW & Carpenters Union. (Since I was still in high school, we exchanged letters often. By the time I graduated, I knew that I had fallen in love with him.) Manuel graduated from West Mesa High School in 1970 and participated in track & field. Manuel's shy grin, warm heart, gentle spirit and strong work ethic were endearing traits. Though he liked pretty girls and nice clothes, he was wise beyond his years. His passing shattered my heart....life has never been the same. VICKI

Umm sorry no, Holly exists because of Elvis. See, Buddy was lucky enough to see Elvis when all Holly knew was country music. When Buddy saw Elvis on the Louisiana hayride, it was typical for the Hayride to get a local group to perform as opening act when the Hayride came through a small town, Holly got the call and saw Elvis' band do their Elvis' style rockabilly, blues, gospel rock country....It was then that the spirit of rock was born inside of Buddy via Elvis. And a side note....when Elvis did the first electric bass lead rocker, "You're So Square, Baby I don't Care", Elvis played the bass on the record, people recall that it completely blew Hollys' mind. Buddy was Great, but like 95% of all the greatest acts in the history of rock, the spirit of Elvis is what started the rock fire in their souls. It simply is a fact, not an opinion.

Diffrence is Buddy was a musician and producer and ahead of his time. Where as Elvis was an outstanding performer and singer but did not write or produce much of his own music.

Sheldon,I was singer in a little rock band in 59.We were doing Buddys songs before he died.I missed him in UK but saw Gene Vincent around same time.When Buddy died we al got together on acoustic guitars and had a kinda wake.Unbeleivable to think ,our back then lead guitarist just learning his trade was a 15 year old kid named Albert Lee who many many years later moved to cal,and became a honorary member of the crickets.Even he says when he looks back it does not seem possible he plays with the surviving crickets.

Chris, the AirForce sent me to Lubbock in 71... I ended up living across the alley from Ms Holley... turned out to be Buddy's mom. I mowed her yard, and did'nt even know who she was. I've always wondered where the music would be now. Take care. O btw Joe Ely, another Lubbock artist and his wife named their daughter Maria Elena. (Buddy's wife's name)

Something most people probably have never thought of, but Ritchie was probably only 16 years old or barely 17, when he recorded most of his material...what an incredible talent. Also, I always wondered who played that great guitar in "LaBamba", and I came to find that it was Carol Kaye of all people...woman was a genius during her career.
