{"title":"Buddy Holly","description":"\u003cp\u003eBuddy Holly was a seminal figure in mid-20th century rock and roll, known for his distinctive vocal style and pioneering fusion of country, blues, and rock music. As a singer-songwriter, he made significant contributions to the genre with hits like \"That'll Be the Day\" and \"Peggy Sue.\" Holly's innovative use of the recording studio and his influence on the Beatles and other subsequent rock groups underscores his lasting impact on popular music. Tragically, his career was cut short by his death in 1959 at age 22, but his influence remains pervasive in contemporary music.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"thatll-be-the-day-im-lookin-for-someone-to-love-1","title":"That'll Be The Day\/ I'm Lookin' For Someone To Love","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally released on Brunswick 55009.

And yet, Holly chose to record not only one, but two, Darin tunes, as the B side is also written by Bobby Darin. This was a non-album single.

The version he recorded was around a minute long and the track included here has been \"stretched\" by splicing and re-recording the original tape. Norman Petty's later treatment of the recording, adding organ sounds to create the impression of strings, probably comes fairly close to Buddy's own ideas for the song.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs for the B side, this rarity was cowritten with Waylon Jennings and not released until well after Holly's death. Among other places, it appeared on the B side of U.K. single in 1964. Upon hearing it, I knew I'd heard it before and after wracking my brain for awhile, I remembered that it was a version by the neo-Rockabilly singer\/songwriter Billy Swan released in 1976 that was in my head. Other than that, I haven't heard any other versions, though it's indubitably hit material!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: The 45 itself has Mint labels.
