Buddy Holly question
May 27^th, 2010 at 12:10pm

I've been getting into Buddy Holly as of late....very impressive stuff. I've always loved the hits but recently procured a 50 song double disc with a lot of the deeper stuff. dude knew how to write a good song, that's for sure. everything's about love, but still....

anybody know how many songs he wrote? surprisingly prolific for only being around a year and a half or so.

It's a good 'un, but not quite his best, IMO. 'Maybe Baby', 'Oh Boy' and 'Rave On' are my three favourites. An enormously talented individual.

Bucky..it is one of my favorites too!. Never get sick of hearing it and Keith did a really great job. But soooo many good songs..
"Rave On," "Crying Waiting, Hoping," "Not Fade Away," "True Love Ways," and "Love is Strange" to mention just a few
