SOUNDS LIKE BUDDY.....but its not

[Mikado]

Song that sound like Buddy Holly , by other artists, or remakes of Buddy's Songs (on You tube)

Here's a song I hadnt heard in 15 years (And had been looking for all over); during the late 50s, a lot of acts were beginning to do the Buddy Holly hiccup (Even Elvis with Big Hunk O’ Love), one of the most surprising records in this vein was called LITTLE LOVER, done by the BE BOPPA LULA man, Gene Vincent (February 11, 1935 - October 12, 1971).....Gene's career would be cut short however, in 1960, a taxi carrying him and Eddie Cochrane (Summertime Blues) would crash into a tree on the way to London's Heathrow airport, killing Eddie and injuring Gene for the rest of his life, sending him into an alcoholic downward spiral, that shortened his life considerably.

Tommy Roe's (SWEET LITTLE)SHEILA was the first song that was mistaken by fans as a never released Buddy Holly song, after his death....now, most of you know the second hit version (1962) , but, there was an earlier version that had the EARLY Buddy sound, including the guitar riffs (circa 1956) , whereas the hit version sounds like Buddy circa 1958.

Original first version:

I prefer the first version, but, love either one!
