Buddy Holly & The Crickets "Oh, Boy!" on The Ed Sullivan Show

I wonder why rock and roll stopped using cellos- and I wonder if it’s because Buddy Holly’s cello player was murdered with a stolen cello

22 years old… No age.. Yet the music he wrote.. Imagine what we missed out on if he’d have lived his life.. Taken too soon

I loved how Buddy was undaunted by refusing Sullivan's demands not to play this song. And despite the fact that Sullivan cut their song list down to two and had Buddy's amp turned down, he gave the world a show.

it's the 66th anniversary of buddy's last appearance on the ed sullivan show

Elvis was the king buddy was the father

The shifty eyes of pure anger.

Sonny Curtis (born May 9, 1937) is an American singer and songwriter. Known for his collaborations with Buddy Holly, he was a member of the Crickets and continued with the band after Holly's death. Curtis's best known compositions include "Walk Right Back", a major hit in 1961 for the Everly Brothers; "I Fought the Law", notably covered by the Bobby Fuller Four and the Clash; and "Love is All Around," the theme song for The Mary Tyler Moore Show.

22 AÑOS.

На русском неккорректно переведено. На русском понятно как "О, мальчик", должно быть "О,бог(господи)".

This was a great performance even 66 years later.

Music like this will never die

What might have been!

Brilliant man, cool as hell

Ed Sullivan was a Dick Wad.. sabotaged Buddy, tried to mute the ‘Doors’ and the ‘Rolling Stones’ but they all busted through his self righteousness
he needed to fuck Topo Grigio in tha áss after that to release his pent up anger..

A fun no frills performance i read where sullivan had some of theamplification turned down.
Buddy still got to the crowf with his charisma anddetermination.

How the hell that the bass was more easy to hear than the guitar

First gay rock n roll song. He was singing to a boy, I presume.

True class right there.

When you could actually watch the performer as opposed to zooming in and out for 50 different camera angles in one song.

"Buddy Hollet"

A Classic Song 🎶

Where is Nikki Sullivan?

The true creator of Beat Music...was ten years ahead of us in Rock History.

Best quality ive seen of this clip

There will never be another buddy Holly. Taken way to soon but what a impact

Busey was almost as good.

I would say Buddy's voice sounds even better in this live performance than in the studio version.

I loved how musicians wore suits and ties back then.
Love the Buddy Holly sound!

forgot his
name but the rhythm player rocked

Thats what means putting on a SHOW

Buddy Hollick and his crickets.

These guys were like 19, 20 or 21... but they all looked liked grown men.

Just realized they were on the show the day of my birthday! This is a great performance even if it was sabotaged!

You can tell Ed Sullivan was pissed off!

Legendary. And well deserved. An eternal musical blessing to the world.

He set stage of rock and roll from this point forward: raucous guitar playing, the scream, suggestive lyrics, guitar-bass-drum lineup, doing his own thing instead of what he was told (copied by Elvis Costello on SNL).

When you realize there is no reference for Buddy to fall back on when composing his songs, that he is the originator of the rock ballad, you give him the credit he deserves, which is to say, he is the source of this entire gendre of music. Breathtaking!😮

BuDdY HoLlEt!?
It's supposed to be
BuDdY HoLlY
apparently the song has "SuGgEsTiVe" lyrics

Wikipedia

Buddy Holly and the Crickets first appeared on the Sullivan show in 1957 to an enthusiastic response. For their second appearance in January 1958, Sullivan considered the lyrics of their chosen number "Oh, Boy!" too suggestive, and ordered Holly to substitute another song. Holly responded that he had already told his hometown friends in Texas that he would be singing "Oh, Boy!" for them. Sullivan, unaccustomed to having his instructions questioned, angrily repeated them, but Holly refused to back down. Later, when the band was slow to respond to a summons to the rehearsal stage, Sullivan commented, "I guess the Crickets are not too excited to be on The Ed Sullivan Show." Holly, still annoyed by Sullivan's attitude, replied, "I hope they're damn more excited than I am." Sullivan retaliated by cutting them from two numbers to one, then mispronounced Holly's name during the introduction. He also saw to it that Holly's guitar amplifier volume was barely audible, except during his guitar solo. Nevertheless, the band was so well-received that Sullivan was forced to invite them back; Holly responded that Sullivan did not have enough money. Archival photographs taken during the appearance show Holly smirking and ignoring a visibly angry Sullivan

Dead at 22 and he was just getting started

Why is it when something is negative or otherwise people say oh boy or ah man plus woman are called lady but men aren’t called lord’s anymore

1 year & 1 week before his plane crash.

Buddy “Hollet “ and his Crickets. Boy Ed Sullivan was channeling his inner mean girl.

Shocked by the quality. I understand why he was so important to Beatles and other artists after him.

Sorry but he was the real King of Rock n Roll
