I heard this on the radio for the first time today. I didn’t know he covered Buddy Holly. It was refreshing to hear a buddy song through the airwaves. I was singing along.

All respects to Mr. Holly but this is the best version of this song by far!

Growing up in Indiana I had many chances to see him do this live. Incredible performer. That’s all I will personally say.

I hate it when songs are not available on pretty much any app unless you buy the entire album. I love this cover but at least it's still available to listen to on YouTube! Thanks for the upload.

Even my own grandma said you make me rave on... guess God made you for me so I can rave on! Classic!!

I would have never guessed an accordion would sound so good when mixed with rock and roll.
