Search - Buddy Holly :: Heartbeats: The Original Recordings

2009 two CD set, released to coincide with the 50th Anniversary of 'the day the music died'. Includes a bonus track from each of his contemporaries who perished in the very same plane crash that took Buddy's life (Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper). Buddy Holly is perhaps the most anomalous legend of '50s Rock 'N' Roll. He had his share of hits, and he achieved major stardom, but his importance transcends any sales figures or even the particulars of any one song (or group of songs) that he wrote or recorded. Holly was unique, his legendary status and his impact on popular music all the more extraordinary for having been achieved in barely 18 months. 45 tracks. Performance.
