Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day


Artist:Buddy Holly

Song:Raining In My Heart

Album:The Buddy Holly Collection





Buddy Holly is probably better known for his tragic death in that 1959 plane crash that also killed Richie Valens & The Big Bopper but he was already a huge star and was only going to get bigger. The key event in Buddy Holly's life was when he met producer Norman Petty. Petty recorded him and Holly's talent shone. Of course Petty was very shady when it came to songwriting credits but that wasn't unusual in those days. Raining In My Heart is a great ballad written by veteran songwriters Bourdleaux & Felice Bryant but Holly wrote a lot of his own songs. This 2CD comp is probably the best one to get. It's been almost 50 years since Buddy Holly died but his music still sounds great. Here's Buddy Holly performing Peggy Sue. Check out the dancing.
