Favorite Buddy Holly song?

[NightTrain]

Poll question: Favorite Buddy Holly song?

[NightTrain]

1. "Tell Me How"

The B-side of "Maybe Baby."

[Dr Fate]

2. I like "Peggy Sue Got Married"- the best "sequel song " ever..

the melody and changes in that song are great- one of my favorites.

I also love "Think it Over", "Little Baby" and "Modern Day Don Juan"

3. Maybe Baby

no reason :D

[cherryperry]

4. I voted for

It Doesn't Matter Anymore, but like Think It Over and Everyday just as much. I had to vote the way I did because (at this time) no one else had voted for any of my 3 favorites, so I just arbitrarily picked one of them.

:loveya:

[Old and In the Way]

5. "Ima gonna tell ya how it's gonna be"

With that Bob Diddley beat...

[cherryperry]

7. Oh, Yes - how could that be left off? n/t

[NightTrain]

8. It wasn't left off!

The song's title is "Not Fade Away," and I listed it.

[cherryperry]

14. OOPS! didn't know that; always think of the Stones

when I see that title - sorry for doubting you, oh great NightTrain!

:hi: :toast:

6. All of them

I may have put my foot down when my husband wanted to name our firstborn son "Buddy" (and, yes, he really did suggest it), but there's hardly a Buddy Holly song I wouldn't rather listen to than most other things.

However, of the ones you name, I probably like "Everyday," "Oh, Boy!" and "Rave On" slightly better than the rest.

[NightTrain]

9. @#$*&% typo!

Obviously, I meant the first song to be "That'll Be The Day," not "Thar'll." Pay attention, NightTrain! Geez....

[HEyHEY]

10. Cryin,' waiting, hoping

I still can't believe how ahead of the times that song was. You rule, I was gonna do a buddy post today too!

[cherryperry]

15. Yes, another one I love! n/t

Have you heard Think It Over? It seems no one prefers it ... incredible!

[buddhamama]

23. Not Fade Away

[CO Liberal]

24. True Love Ways

One of the songs released after his death. Like Jim Croce, some of Buddy's best work didn't get release until after he was gone........

[SiobhanClancy]

26. That's my favorite,too

I love the strings in that song..very innovative.

[TheZoo]

25. Words of Love

Let me hear you say the words I long to hear
Darling when you're near
Words of love you whisper soft and true
Darling I love you

Hold me close and tell me how you feel
Tell me love is real
Words of love you whisper soft and true
Darling I love you

I understand some pop group from Liverpool recorded it. That group's version also holds the distinction of being the second song on the first tape I made for Marie O8)

[cherryperry]

30. Yes, another one I forgot! I LOVE this song...eom
