The Crickets - My Little Girl (Best Quality)

Sonny Curtis wrote "My Little Girl" and influenced The Searchers arrangement of there first hit "Sweets For My Sweets" Sonny's guitar break is so close to The Searchers intro of their second hit "Sugar And Spice"........The line-up consists of Jerry Naylor singing,Sonny Curtis on guitar, Glen D Hardin playing piano/piano bass,and Don Groom on drums who was from The Outlaws..he was sitting in for Jerry Allison who at the time couldn't appear as he was on emergency call up with the U.S Air Force..

Guitarist Sonny Curtis also wrote the hit "I Fought the Law" and composed the intro theme song for the "Mary Tyle Moore" show. Talented folks there.

The songs in the 50's and 60's are so simplistic but amazing. Music now a days has nothing on songs from those era.

Wow, what a great video! Sonny Curtis sure knew how to write them. I love these guys. If only Buddy Holly had lived to play with them, we can only imagine how much more wonderful music he would have created.

I saw the crickets twice in the 80s once at dingwalls dance hall in Camden and once with bobby eve at lewisham town hall....the line up was Jerry Alison on drums joe .b maulding on stand up bass and Gordon Paine on guitar they were excelent

[TheGrandmasterMan]

Never seen this footage for posting. Love this song...

[MilesClancy]

This is one of my favorite Beatles songs

[sampaiosamps]

That is indeed a really well kept recording

[jasontouvi]

This sounds like a mix between Buddy Holly's "Peggy Sue" and "Every Day." It certainly has the Holly sound even though there are no original Crickets here. The original Crickets were Holly, Jerry Allison, and Joe B. Mauldin. Sonny Curtis is the only one who played with Buddy before the Crickets formed. he was on Holly's early songs and Decca sessions.

Really like this. Kinda reminds me of Sheila by Tommy Roe.

[lindafowler]

This was mine and my first boyfriend’s ‘song’. Loved him so much but we were too young.

[geoffm]

Great record. Inspired by of course the iconic ‘ Peggy Sue’. This would have been an ideal record for Buddy.

[ansias]

Super class act, with or without Buddy Holly. The best r'n'r band ever

[golden.lights.twinkle]

This is a great song, I love the musical interlude (1:02 to 1:13). I wish it was longer. This song is very reminiscent of the Bobby Fuller Four.

[lindafowler]

This was ‘our song’. My first boyfriend and I. I was 15 he was 16. As they say you never forget your first love.

As far as I know, this is from the 1963 UK movie "Just For Fun" - the Crickets filmed in late 1962 whwe they were on UK tour with Bobby Vee.
