![]() ![]() "That'll Be The Day" was originally recorded by Holly before he started working with Petty, so the latter's appearance on the songwriting credits for the later version by The Crickets illustrates the point about manipulation of the credits. Norman Petty, the manager, often manipulated song-writing credits and Allison, although credited with another recording to which he contributed little, helped to compose the music for some of the famous songs, notably "That'll Be The Day" and "Peggy Sue" (Allison later married Peggy Sue Gerron, the namesake of the latter song who, in her biography quotes Allison admitting he did not write Peggy Sue, "Buddy did"). His work on The Crickets recordings gave the records much of their distinctiveness and has influenced subsequent generations of Rock and roll drummers. On these, Allison played only tom-toms in keeping with the sound of the vocals. Later songs, released under Buddy Holly's own name, were softer in tone and filled with innocence and longing. ![]() His snappy cracks at the snare drum gave power to the songs released under the name The Crickets. Over time, Allison's rhythm backup ranged from slapping hands-on-knees or hand-clapping the beat to a modal plainness of cymbal drumming. In their early days at the Lubbock Youth Center, Buddy Holly's vocal and guitar were backed only by Allison's drumming, allowing for some of Holly's best guitar work. This recording was also performed at the Norman Petty studio in Clovis, NM about 6 months before Peggy Sue was recorded. This very rare recording was named "Who's Gonna Be the Next One Honey". Allison (born Jerry Ivan Allison, August 31, 1939, in Hillsboro, Texas) is an American musician, best known for being the drummer for The Crickets and co-writer of their Buddy Holly hit "Peggy Sue".Īllison's first professional recording can be heard on a 45-rpm recording of another local legend named Hal Goodson and the Raiders. ![]() ![]() The Living End performed the song at the 2008 APRA Awards to mark the anniversary.J.I. The band Jet and Iggy Pop recorded a cover version that was released to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the original release. The release date of the single, 5 July 1958, is considered the birth of Australian rock and roll. In an article by Clinton Walker that tries to answer the question, What was Australia’s first rock’n’roll record? the writer quotes Dee Jays’ saxophonist – and the song’s co-writer – John Greenan corroborating Casch’s account and elaborating upon it. Some of the dance patrons came to blows with wedding guests in the men's toilets, and within minutes the brawl had become a full-scale riot that spilled out into the street, with police eventually calling in the Navy Shore Patrol to help restore order. According to Casch, as O'Keefe and the Dee Jays played at an upstairs venue, an "Italian wedding" reception was taking place downstairs. According to O'Keefe's guitarist, Lou Casch, the song was inspired by an incident at a gig in Newtown, Sydney, in about 1957. ![]()
