Buddy Holly & The Crickets - That'll be the Day

Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
Well, you give me all your lovin' and your turtle dovin'
All your hugs and kisses and your money too
Well, you know you love me baby
Until you tell me, maybe
That some day, well I'll be through
Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
[Instrumental Interlude]
Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
Well, when Cupid shot his dart
He shot it at your heart
So if we ever part and I leave you
You sit and hold me and you tell me boldly
That some day, well I'll be blue
Well, that'll be the day, when you say goodbye
Yes, that'll be the day, when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cause that'll be the day when I die
Well, that'll be the day, hoo-hoo
That'll be the day, hoo-hoo
That'll be the day, hoo-hoo
That'll be the day

Imagine what this man could have accomplished had he not tragically died with the Big Bopper and Ritchie Vallens on Feb. 3rd 1959... In your short career as a musician you influenced some of the greatest there ever were, and probably ever will be. Rest in peace.

On this day in 1957 {August 5th} the Philadelphia-based teen-age dance television program 'American Bandstand' goes national when it airs for the first time on ABC-TV network...
The first record played was "That'll Be The Day" by the Crickets, at the time the record was at #39 on Billboard's Top 100 chart, one month later on September 8th* it would peak at #1 {for 1 week} on Billboard's Best Seller in Stores chart...
* The day before on September 7th, Buddy Holly, born Charles Hardin Holley, celebrated his 21st birthday...

I'm 13 but I love this kinda music, buddy holly and bo diddley, little Richard, Elvis Presley, chuck berry and many artists from the 60s-80s, plus a few songs from the 90s onwards but there was only 1 golden age of music and that started in the '50s.

[FrankieT]

my dad was born a few day on February 5 1958 he said when he was a year old people still talked about buddy holly Richie valens and the big popper j.p.

[AgentSmith]

"That'll be the day that I die" this was actually what they sang the night before they died in the plane crash.

[zachs]

I enjoy music of the 1920's, 1940's, 1950's, 1960's, 1970's and 1980's. The songs of these time periods outrank all modern garbage. When we were watching the superbowl, and Katy Perry came out and was singing a awful rap song, my grandfather said as he shook his head, "That's not music." I totally agree. Who's with me?

[whoareyou]

Today is a day that lays in infamy...the day music died.... 😞

[BassGirlSusan]

Different arrangement than what I am used to, how cool

[redspecialdude]

this was the original version but they arangement was changed as it was to high for buddy to sing in the final version is the one we all know and prefer as did buddy
