5.0 out of 5 stars
Most of Buddy's classic songs,
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews (No. 1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Best Of Buddy Holly (Audio CD)
This budget-priced album contains most of his most famous songs, many of which have retained their popularity via cover versions. Pop, rock, country, folk and jazz singers have all recorded their own versions of Buddy's songs, so even if you've never heard Buddy's versions, you may be familiar with the songs.Here, you get Buddy's original versions of Oh boy (a UK number one hit for Mud in the seventies), That'll be the day, Peggy Sue, Listen to me, Rave on, Heartbeat (a UK top ten hit for Showaddywaddy in the seventies), True love ways, Everyday and It doesn't matter anymore. Despite his early death in a plane crash, Buddy continued to have hits for a few years. Incredibly, he had three UK top ten hits in 1963 (Brown eyed handsome man, Bo Diddley, Wishing) There are at least two obvious omissions, though neither was a UK hit for Buddy - remarkable, considering how famous they are. Not fade away (the original B-side of Oh boy) later became a top three UK for the Rolling Stones. Raining in my heart (the original B-side of It doesn't matter anymore) became a minor UK hit for Leo Sayer. Disappointing as those omissions are, if you want a collection containing all of Buddy's important songs, you must pay a higher price. This makes a great introduction to Buddy's music at a bargain price.

Pretty Good Peggy Sue,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Best Of Buddy Holly (Audio CD)
I am 19 and purchased this album on the strength of a TV programme about Buddy Holly. As far as value for money goes, this is superb. All his hits are here and it really makes you appreciate how much Buddy Holly did for music in such a tragically short period.

Everyday,
This review is from: The Best Of Buddy Holly (Audio CD)
Everyday listen to this fantastic Buddy Holly album and you will be listening to proper music. This CD includes some of Buddy's well known songs like Peggy Sue and Heartbeat, and then it goes onto songs like A Brown Eyed Handsome Man and Peggy Sue Got Married. FANTASTIC. I know i've got it, why don't you???
