He never got over surviving

Well trading places

@@thinking4myself676 and the haunting final words “I hope your ole plane crashes.”

He never got over telling Buddy that he hoped his plane would crash, after Buddy jokingly told him that he hoped the bus would break down in the cold on their way home on February 3, 1959. Survivor's guilt had to be terrible. Two all time greats. So much talent lost, along with Richie Valens and the Big Bopper. Very sad. It was the day the music died. Waylon died on my birthday, February 13, 2002.

he did get over it but he always wished he took those words back@@terryhogan6205

He was brilliant god bless you buddy holly rip and too your family,

This video was not about competition between buddy and waylon

I agree buddy wins between these two versions of the song, but Waylon is a legend

​@@harry554And Buddy is even more of a legend.

You come across as an arsehole with this post. Am I right?

Did you play with Buddy Holly?

I think that is what bothered waylon because buddy didn't live to see the success he became buddy was the first one to believe waylon

On my birthday. Damn....

John and paul both worshipped buddy

The very name the Beatles is a play on the Crickets. That's where they came up with their name.

@@moncorp1 you know that makes a lot of sense and I never thought of that. The fact that Paul McCartney bought the BH catalogue and gifted it to his Holly's family lends some credibility to that story - the pieces fit.

Paul bought the catalog and made a box set called The Complete Buddy Holly with every record Buddy ever made. He got everything from Norman Petty and Maria Elena Holly to make the 6 record box set. But Maria sued and had the box set pulled. Paul appealed and it was reissued. This was in the 80s. I managed to get a copy. It's no longer available so bootleg copies are the only way to get it. Maria was infuriated because Norman Petty's alternate takes and original songs were on the complete set. Paul gave her nothing and still owns the rights to the catalog. Maria was selfish depriving Buddy's fans. The feud continues even today. When the Buddy Holly Story was made in the 70s starring Gary Busey, Maria insisted that Norman Petty not be mentioned even though he, like it or not, gave Buddy his start. Paul had just bought the rights to Buddy's songs. The original Crickets and Buddy's family panned the movie. Paul made The Real Buddy Holly Story as a documentary and a true account of Buddy's life. Maria has held a grudge all this time for no good reason. Norman Petty was a part of Buddy's life and Paul included Buddy's family and Petty's widow. And so it stands.

I do too

Actually Waylon had a much richer voice. It's a shame both are gone.

​@@terryhogan6205False. Buddy Holly had a better voice than Waylon Jennings ever had. However, Roy Orbison had the best and greatest voice of all time.

@@darthtrip7188that’s just your opinion. The other dudes comment is just his opinion.

@@creighton8069 No shit, Sherlock.

And so was Carl Perkins.

I'd be willing to agree with that

shoknifeman2 mikado Thank you. Carl is my favorite guitarist.

To this day nobody can touch buddy holly

Some people said ritchie valens was playing better at the winter dance party performances

Buddy already WAS a huge artist.

If he lived,,,he wouldve been even bigger, who knows what he would have done.

I was thinking that EXACT thing!

With It Doesn’t Matter and True Love Ways, we already have evidence of the direction Holly was heading. Both tracks were completed prior to his passing. He was certainly moving on from rock n’ roll and one suspects he’d of thrived in the 60’s. Such a shame.

I think he would have easily been on the level of Elvis

Waylon heet gewoon Willem Bijkerk. Waylon is alleen maar z'n artiesten naam.

Waylon not only sang with Buddy - he was Buddy’s electric bassist on the fatal ‘59 Winter Tour! From what I understand, the touring continued for another two weeks … with Waylon filling-in for Buddy on lead vocals 😮! Probably sounding very much like the first version, here! 🙂

Waylon gave up his seat on the airplane that night to J.P. Richardson (a.k.a The Big Bopper). Supposedly, after hearing about the seat switch, Buddy Holly told Jennings, "Well, I hope your ol' bus freezes up." In an eerie response that allegedly haunted Jennings until his death in 2002, he jokingly replied, "Well, I hope your ol' plane crashes."

What does roylity, royality and fatefull mean as I can't find them in my dictionary?

@@Gunn27 ...only an asshole has to point out the misspelled words of other people. Grow up. It didn't change the fact that Norman Petty WAS a ROYALTY THIEF.

Please tell me more about the con from the small town of Clovis

That was it. If you worked with Petty, he got a cut of all you did whether he worked or not. Too bad with Buddy’s songs. Including all his post death songs. Should have just released them. Nothing done to them.

Damn right. There are people who cry on about buddy didn't write his own songs. Petty always wanted his name on everything otherwise they weren't done. Norman Petty pretty much killed Buddy, coz he denied Buddy royalties on records. That was THE REASON Buddy went on that Winter Tour. Buddy was broke coz of that, he had to provide for Maria Elena & the coming child. Which i beleive she miscarried with the shock of it all.

We likely would never have heard of Buddy Holly and many other groups that recorded at the Petty Studios in Clovis if not for Norm. He gave Buddy Holly and many other artists of the era free studio time, free production services, and unlimited free room & board while they were honing their talents. It was not always appreciated. Norm told an interesting story about the lawn behind their living quarters needing mowing. They initially refused to help out, until he told them they could continue rehearsing and recording in HIS studio after the grass was mowed. ------- Wanna hear about raw deals; ask any of the artists and groups who appeared on Bandstand about the check they received for performing on AB. I haven't talked with one yet who wasn't handed a check, and then told immediately told to sign it back over to AB. The ones I've talked with never saw a single penny for their performance on the show.

Buddy died broke. His manager took it all...

Dennis Pennington they are together again in HEAVEN. SINGING FOR THE HOLY ALMIGHTY AMAZING GOD AT HIS THRONE!!!! I bet they're having themselves a good ol time.

I would have guessed Jennings would be buried in Texas

You are a lost person I will pray for you.

Materialism is a deceitful belief. I hope you learn to realize the existence of the soul.

Dennis Pennington - You fool. Their bodies arent together. When they say that they mean together as the spirits that they both are, just as you are a spirit, not a damn piece of meat. But, hey, youll find out soon enough, because like the saying goes, "No one here gets out alive". Youll see.

Waylon played at The Golden Nugget on Freemont St-las Vegas ,NV.

@@howardolson3400 Thank you for your reply. Interesting. I see that my comment was already 10 years ago. In the mean time I have posted (in 'adjomusic') a series of songs with documentation performed by Buddy Holly, including the live performed song "You're the one" by Buddy Holly, with Waylon Jennings and Slim Corbin on Radio station KLLL dated December 27, 1958. In my accompanying home-movie I included the announecement of mid 1982 in Las Vegas of Waylon Jennings. It was presented as a show in "Riviera".

That's what I was speculating....Red West!

no

Sonny West and Bill Tilghman wrote Rave On..Paul Anka wrote "It Dosen't Matter Anymore".

TC Smith Wrong. His trio sold tons of records way before Buddy.
