Buddy Holly - Not Fade Away Lyrics

I love Elvis, but this man had more talent. Had he lived longer he would have possibly been the KING of rock and roll!

Buddy Holly and the Lubbock / Clovis sound. Perhaps the first rock recordings to be of an avante garde nature. Joe Meeks goes wild for this song. Jerry Allison banging the hell out of a cardboard box and Buddy Holly giving it all in his vocals and guitar. So clean and yet heavy.

All I can say that Buddy Holly was a troubadour. The Rolling Stones had this as their first hit, and The Grateful Dead used this as one of their jam anthems.

Some incredible stars have passed, but just thinking of Buddy and SRV on other side jamming together....

The clock just struck midnight on February 3, 2020. RIP, Buddy.

Joe Richards and Ritchie and Bopper

oh my god, so talented, so handsome, so charming....but died too soon, too tragic. Sometime, life is honestly cold-blood, scary and mysterious. The person who has everything can loose everything the next moment.

My friend Humberto lied to me. He assured me that Keith Richards had written this song!

Always thought this was a Jagger / Richard's composition. To my discredit I've only just discovered this version.

Buddy Holly's Eye Doctor will live in infamy.

this song was in Steven Kings Christine fantastic song just wonderful.

Bo Diddley strum

May I introduce you to some Holly without his record sounds? :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdSLCTS1yZw

Thank you, Buddy Holly and you are not forgotten. It's now 2020 and we still rock to your music.

Kinda hurts my ego a little when i see comments about this and that how rock wasn't that without the roll. Its a beautiful thing cause all we stumbled upon this video is in somewhat the same perspective of a vision of not only holly but our own rock and roll and its only fair we divide ourself from nothing more than that pure engery this music shares. I love you buddy

Buddy got this beat from Bo Diddley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cX7nc_i1Bg

I'm gonna tell ya how it's gonna be!
Fuckin perfect!

Buddy Holly is sensational and a great singer and guitar player..Rock and Roll here to stay and rock on..Great performance..I seen Buddy Holly on Dick Clark show and then he was gone..He died shortly after on that plane crash..RIP Buddy

"My love's bigger than a Cadillac". Epic.

Buddy Holly:"My love is bigger than a Cadillac I try to show it but you driving me back"

Brian Johnson on some AC/DC outtake playing Not Fade Away: "he's got a Cadillac. But the man came when he didn't pay the payments and he took it back"

I preffer the Rolling Stones' version

And the stones prefer buddy Holley

@Darrell Somers , Sorry for the Stones. Hahaha

The Who seriously ripped this off with 'Magic Bus'.

And the rest is rock n roll

*Hell hath no Fury, like a 57' Plymouth*

First time hearing this song was on a boy meets world episode.

60 people need to go ahead and pack up to leave earth as you are not wanted here

top liked my friend :)

rolling stones version sucks

Holly literally stole this song from Bo Diddley! Play that song (Bo Diddley by Bo Diidley)) first then this one. A total rip off.

that's hard music...rock n roll with the weirdest tempo I've ever heard.. for its day original and I'm sure this had its influences across the rock, pop, punk, styles... classic.

I hear this song in the background, whenever I hear this piece from Dick and Dee Dee:

2019 and still rockin

Bo Diddley,… Buddy Holly,… Johnny Otis,….

I like to cover this song same tempo same everything but with a distortion pedal and overdrive pedal. It's my fantasy but I think Buddy would have loved all the new pedals and tricks to come with amps and setups. Imagine hearing a late 70's buddy smashing through songs like maybe baby/Not fade away with some good effects like distortion and overdrive. His songs are so fun with an overdriven amp and guitar on 10 blasting through buddy's great melodies. It's so damn fun

I love it just the way it is when Buddy wrote it and recorded it!

Isn't this the flip side of "Oh, Boy!"? If so, it was released as perfomed by The Crickets (of which, of course, Buddy was the lead singer).

Those guitar riffs, that beat Buddy Holly the master! Not only would he have taken music in new directions but he would have been amazing producer as well. RIP Buddy!

Let’s put this way. No buddy. No Beatles👍

No elvis, no ome at all, holly said that himself i believe. But everyones influenced by everyone, it to me its more of a style of play am stuff. Copying easy but holly didmt copy he was first to thinl out side the box. The real an true KING of Rock an Roll

@jonnhy qwango

no eddie cochran no elvis

@Aurea Mediocritas Elvis recorded before Eddie, and is the undisputed KING of rock and roll !

Aurea Mediocritas I despite that

@ITILII Presley was a mediocre nightclub crooner. Holly and Chuck Berry were the REAL kings of rock n'roll.

Bo Diddley, don't you forget it.

Any deadheads here listening in 2019?

@Bill I saw them in 1970. 1 drummer & Pigpen was on keyboards

@NotToClever xx 00:10 18.01.2020 :P

Hell yes

@Bill To the point where I've only learned just now that it wasn't their's.

Mafia 2

'58 Christines and lead footin' 4 ever.

EVERYTHING in this recording is a masterclass. This is a mono recording. MONO! Do you have ANY idea how difficult it is to record everything that's happening here on ONE channel? DO YOU THOUGH? No. No, you don't. Go away and find out. Then tell me with a straight face to sniff Kanye's latest turd.

The talent here is off the hook. how many groups ran on his fumes?

"I'm gonna tell you how it's gonna be." Not exactly a declaration of women's rights, is it? Good song, but wow!

No but it that is how that time period was. It does go to show how much has changed, and not all that change has been for the better.

@c.m. taylor Oh, I know. I was there.

Shortly after Buddy died disc jockey Tommy McDonald wrote and recorded "The Three Stars" about the day the music died. Under the stage name Tommy Dee in a narrative( spoken word ) paid tribute to Buddy. J.P. Richardson the Big Bopper and Richie Valens. The vocal accompaniment was provided by Carol Kaye & The Teenaires.

Buddy was ahead of his time. One of the greatest singer/songwriters ever. Recorded over 100 songs in his brief career many of which he wrote or co-wrote. Only 5 of his songs made the charts and one of them posthumously. He had just scratched the surface of his incredible talent when he took that ill fated plane ride. He had to die before people recognized and appreciated his genius. Perhaps the most influential artist in Rock history.

There’s something ghostly about this song kinda gives me the chills

Que guapo era 😍😍

Sounds so good 👍🏾 legend

Buddy left us way too soon, I love his music.

When that 1958 Plymouth furry show up we all say oh shit

Buddy Holly lives

These songs are better than the new songs my grandma said once.... Old songs were better than new ones people who make new ones did drugs but old songs were so much better

Christine brought me here

I guess at this point there are 47 assholes out there.

The 47 that disliked are stupid poopy heads :c

Holly Forever

🤓🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎤🎤🎤🎤🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

I was born 2004. This song was made in the late 50s. Not a lot of people can say something like that.

Christine chose a great song

Still my favorite version the Rolling Stones did a good cover though.

The song gets more amazing as I listen. Always thought Bo Diddley wrote it and Holly covered it, but Holly wrote it himself, influenced by Diddley. It was the beginning of a turn into a harder brand of rock for him than the Crickets. We can only wonder what direction he would have taken if crash had not happened. As it was, his influence on rock will always be tremendous

ba wa ba-ba

One of a kind RIP Buddy

Hello Christine

Gary Busey did good as Buddy

those who disliked are ones who are deaf

Is it just me or does he look a lot like Arnie from Christine?

The real deal 👊

"We love you, we'll see ya next year!"

BUDDY HOLLY IS KING

Better than the crap of today.

No disrespect to you buddy this song is the shit when your stoned 😎

A true LEGEND

he may have left us in body but his music remains and long after all of us are gone his music will still...remain

Drums were a cardboard box!

R.I.P Charles Hardin Holley 1936-1959

Why ;-;

The greatest!!!!!

Pioneer. And so who did buddy grow up listening to ? :-) Still cool 60 years on !

God dam. A gentle genuis. Was there music before or after?

he was rock'n'roll's first auteur. he wrote songs, performed them, and before he died, started to produce them. Amen Buddy.

My love is bigger than a cadillac. EPIC.

Just makes me think of christine

Buddy will always rave in our hearts through his music

Just imagine how big he would have been !

Still influences today's music 🎶

people,this guy was an innovator so true,a legend,but to say there isnt music made like this today is not being accurate,there is amazing artists out there now,look around youtube,you'll find them

My love is bigger than a Cadillac!!

Don't play this song in a car like the one in christine movie, something might happen! You seen what happened in the movie!

Love you Buddy Holley

A bright star fallen from the sky well before his time....Long Live Buddy Holly's music!

the drummer is playing a cardboard box…...

I feel like he recorded this in his garage

32 people disliked this?? This is the first time I've heard it and I'm 56 and I like it. I like Tanya Tuckers version better, but this is still good. The people who disliked it, just have NO TASTE in music!!

I wonder if he ever knew about the influence he had for the future..he truly made a more country western rock style before he passed on...
