b'RockerMike and Rob discuss The legendary career of Buddy Holly.\\n\\nCharles Hardin \\u201cBuddy\\u201d Holley (September 7, 1936 \\u2013 February 3, 1959) was an American singer-songwriter who was a central and pioneering figure of mid-1950s rock and roll. He was born in Lubbock, Texas, to a musical family during the Great Depression, and learned to play guitar and sing alongside his siblings. His style was influenced by gospel music, country music, and rhythm and blues acts, which he performed in Lubbock with his friends from high school.\\n\\nHe made his first appearance on local television in 1952, and the following year he formed the group "Buddy and Bob" with his friend Bob Montgomery. In 1955, after opening for Elvis Presley, he decided to pursue a career in music. He opened for Presley three times that year; his band\'s style shifted from country and western to entirely rock and roll. In October that year, when he opened for Bill Haley & His Comets, he was spotted by Nashville scout Eddie Crandall, who helped him get a contract with Decca Records.\\nHolly\'s recording sessions at Decca were produced by Owen Bradley, who had become famous for producing orchestrated country hits for stars like Patsy Cline. Unhappy with Bradley\'s musical style and control in the studio, Holly went to producer Norman Petty in Clovis, New Mexico, and recorded a demo of "That\'ll Be the Day", among other songs. Petty became the band\'s manager and sent the demo to Brunswick Records, which released it as a single credited to "The Crickets", which became the name of Holly\'s band. In September 1957, as the band toured, "That\'ll Be the Day" topped the US and UK singles charts. Its success was followed in October by another major hit, "Peggy Sue".\\n\\nhttps://www.biography.com/.amp/musician/buddy-holly\\n\\nhttps://www.buddyholly.com/\\n\\nhttps://www.rockhall.com/inductees/buddy-holly\\n\\nhttps://www.npr.org/artists/100151886/buddy-holly-the-crickets\\n\\nhttps://m.facebook.com/officialbuddyholly/\\n\\nhttp://www.buddyhollycenter.org/\\n\\nhttps://mobile.twitter.com/buddyholly\\n\\nhttps://www.instagram.com/buddyhollycenter/?hl=en\\n\\nPlease follow us on Youtube,Facebook,Instagram,Twitter,Patreon and at www.gettinglumpedup.com\\n\\nhttps://linktr.ee/RobRossi\\n\\nGet your T-shirt at https://www.prowrestlingtees.com/gettinglumpedup\\nAnd \\nhttps://www.bonfire.com/store/getting-lumped-up/\\n\\nhttps://app.hashtag.expert/?fpr=roberto-rossi80\\n\\nhttps://dc2bfnt-peyeewd4slt50d2x1b.hop.clickbank.net\\n\\nhttps://8bcded2xph1jdsb8mqp8th3y0n.hop.clickbank.net/?cbpage=nb\\n\\n\\nSubscribe to the channel and hit the like button \\n\\n--- This episode is sponsored by \\xb7 Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rob-rossi/support \\n\\nhttps://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/getting-lumped-up-with-rob-rossi/id1448899708\\n\\nhttps://open.spotify.com/show/00ZWLZaYqQlJji1QSoEz7a\\n\\nhttps://www.patreon.com/Gettinglumpedup\\n\\n#buddyholly #buddyhollyandthecrickets #buddyhollystory #buddyhollyandthecricketers #guitarist #guitarists #guitaristsofinstagram #music #musicvideo #musician #musicproducer #musicstudio #musicproduction'
