The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

A very small band, poor amplification, poor sound quality, no echo on the mics, a black and white picture, and yet this is still a masterpiece! This really really rocks! That's how you know the man literally had rock & roll in his soul! He literally WAS rock & roll!
That's because Ed Sullivan turned off his amps. He thought this song was too lewd and wanted them to choose another song. Buddy told him that he had promised a whole bunch of friends they were going to be playing the song for them. That was Buddy's way of saying he wasn't going to change it.
If you notice Ed even mispronounced Buddy's name as well. Crazy stuff, huh?
He inspired the Beatles. There's a feather in yer cap.
Doesnt look like Waylon Jennings on the bass to me. History says Waylon was bas player and gave up his seat.
@@AB-ce5fg This is before the Crickets (feat. Joe B. Mauldin on bass, here) and Buddy Holly went their separate ways. Later, just before the plane crash, on that winter tour, he added Waylon Jennings on bass.
@@therealfronzilla Dang, what a little crybaby. So unprofessional. Though one good thing came out of it… I can hear Buddy’s voice nice and clear.
I still listen to Buddy in 2024
same
Yup
Me too
@@jimbosvidbits6166 which song is your favorite?
@@FlorentlynnOfficial "Maybe Baby"
Buddy’s face this entire time was priceless when he realized what Sullivan did. And even added the wooooooo to tick him off even more
You didn't fuck with B. Holly. He was a bad man.
guess I missed this--what do you mean?
@@judysweat4806 Sullivan had his technicians make Buddy and the Crickets' performance look horrible by messing with the sound and the lighting because Sullivan wouldn't allow them to play "Oh, Boy." Buddy and the boys did it anyway.
The wooooo is part of the original song.
You can see the defiance in Buddy's eyes and hear the edge in his vocal delivery. He had a Top 10 hit, and he was gonna sing it on national TV!
Buddys soul could not be turned down like a Guitar amp .
Well said
@@waukivorycopse2402 Thanks, Buddy!
Preach, brother! Aaaaaaamen!
Absolutely Goddamn right!
Look at his right hand strumming at 0:57 and the headbanging that follows. Pure rock n' roll.
I love that moment, pure wild mercury sound!
He did that to show the audience that the microphone to his guitar amplifier was turned off
I fell in love with him at that moment.
If I’m not mistaken, this may have been the first time that an musician head-banged on national television 😊
My hand would fall off if I tried to do that 😂
A fantastic song by one of the biggest legends of rock and roll! The story behind this appearance is legendary. Buddy and the Crickets had been rehearsing the song all week when Sullivan asked them to substitute another song because he found "Oh Boy"' to be suggestive in its lyrics. Buddy refused, and did "Oh Boy" anyway. As a result, Ed had the feed from Buddy's guitar turned off and the lights lowered. Some reports state they were supposed to sing two songs, but Ed cut them down to one, putting Buddy on in the last five minutes of the show and mispronouncing his name in the introduction. To compensate for the guitar feed being cut off, Buddy sung and played as loudly as possible and kept trying to turn up the volume on his guitar. So, when all is said and done, this is one of those legendary performances that almost didn't happen. We are fortunate to have it since footage of Buddy Holly is extremely rare.
Very true, Tom. The other song they were to do that night was "Not Fade Away". Sullivan called the Crickets to a last-minute rehearsal the afternoon of the show, but when he got to their dressing room only Buddy was sitting there. When Ed asked where the others were, Buddy said, “I don’t know.” Sullivan said, “Well, I guess The Crickets aren't too excited to be on The Ed Sullivan Show,” and Buddy replied, “I hope they’re damn more excited than I am.” and THAT set Ed off. The Crickets were actually invited to come back for a THIRD show, after they were such a hit on this show but Buddy said that Sullivan could never come up with enough money for them to do a 3rd appearance.
@@jthyme7940 I never knew the other song they were supposed to do was "Not Fade Away". Didn't Ed ask them to sing "Wait 'till the Sun Shines Nellie" or something like that instead of "Oh Boy"?
Thank you, so much for sharing! That was very interesting. 💖
@@that70sgirl90 You're very welcome!
@@jthyme7940 Thank you for also sharing! 💖
The Godfather of Rock, Rockabilly and Punk!
Just imagine for a moment an alternate time line where we got another 50 years of music from Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. ❤️
I do it all the time. And it's mind-blowing.
Still one of my favourite movies and sad movies at the same time. Loved watching Gary Busey do Buddy. I still cant believe hes gone when I see his videos and hear his music. Such a talent
I often think about how the creatives with the most groundbreaking world changing potential probably actually never created anything at all. They didn't have the right environment or mental fortitude or care to even get going. We have to appreciate what we do get from people.
Pure talent. Pure courage.❤
Be interesting seeing as buddy Holly was by then a fading star resorting to package tours and his regained popularity was due to his untimely death, likely he would have either faded into obscurity or turned to music production, the other 2 weren't really big hit maker's, big bopper would likely have stuck with writing comedy songs, Richie had 1 big hit Donna whilst alive, but it more remembered today for an obscure b side la bamba, due to them wanting to make a movie about him and having so little actual music recorded by him, so named it after a b-side he recorded.
All 3's early death contributed massively to Thier enduring popularity, which did far more to immortalised them than if they'd lived.
But who knows, all we know is they've become mortalised by early death and songs, movies and books cashed in on it
Loved how both Buddy & Jim Morrison defied Ed Sullivan’s censorship…that’s real rock & roll attitude‼️
What did Buddy do make Ed mad?
@@rhondashinn4952
Ed didn't want him to play, Oh Boy, due to the suggestive lyrical content. Censorship...that isn't in the true spirit of rock and roll!
🇨🇦
thanks for telling me@@loilt5091
@@loilt5091 Don't forget about Bo Diddley, who Sullivan wanted to sing a C&W song. Bo played his own song Bo Diddley. One of the band members said, you could see smoke coming out of Sullivan's ears.

Amazing for a guy who only lived to 22!! The greatest singer/ songwriter of early Rock N Roll!! Thanks for the tunes Buddy!!

Buddy holly was. 22
I loved how musicians wore suits and ties back then.
Love the Buddy Holly sound!
A Legend 👍
They were following the Everly Brothers' advice.
Little did he know, but Ed Sullivan, in his act of infantile spite, managed to inspire an absolute, God-awesome legendary performance from a great man that couldn't be kept down. Not even death could stop his music, which gets us bouncing off the walls to this day. "The day the music died"?
I don't know what the heck day that's supposed to be, but this music never died, and never will.
THE BODY DIES.....SOUL KIPS ON ROKIN
Don McLean's song "American Pie" is a massive compliment to Holly. Buddy Holly WAS the music that died. His works live on. We lost a genius the day Holly died. Fortunately he planted seeds that allowed rock music to blossom even more.
The day the music died is February 3, 1959. On that day, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. Richardson were killed in a plane crash along with 21-year-old pilot Roger Peterson. It was a very sad day for Rock 'n roll.
Considering the obstacles that Ed Sullivan put in their way, I'm amazed by how well Buddy Holly & The Crickets' performance turned out! 🤓
Yes
@@thebeatlesandqueen8817 love your username lol
It goes to show that when the drums, bass and vocals are there the whole song should already work (and I'm saying that as a guitarist)
@@LGuitarB Fortunately, his throat mike caught enough of the guitar to make it sound ok
Ed Sullivan was a bit of a pig then.
Ed: turns off buddy’s guitar, calls him Buddy Hollet
Buddy: I’ll show you
did he?
@@Radioactiveshit yes. Buddy and the Crickets wanted to perform Oh Boy, their latest single. But Sullivan considered it to be too raucous and insisted they choose a lighter song. When they refused he called him Buddy Hollit and turned off his amplifier. You can see Buddy reaching for his volume knob the whole time but still handling it like a pro
@@sampopkin damn that's such a childish thing to do
@@Radioactiveshit And it didn't work as Buddy's throat mike caught most of buddy's guitar sounds anyway
The way he done that guitar solo just to show the audience it was unplugged was great.
Buddy had a lot of confidence, cuz he is not singing along with the recording, like most acts did at the time. He's actually singing that song live. Long live rock and roll
Unlike American Bandstand, Sullivan always insisted on bands singing live
Not singing live. No mic
he is wearing a mic around his neck@@lauradona
@@lauradonaIt’s a body mic
Buddy holly was such a great musician.He was gone to soon.
very soon, he would be one of the great artists of this wave.
Buddy was first white to play apollo in harlem ny. My dad saw him he was 12yrs old..he said we like him
hell yeah he was
0:54 - 0:57 - 1:20 (Holly was screaming, head bopping, neck dancing, & strumming insanely on the guitar) We wouldn't have our modern music we have today if not for Buddy. He basically invented modern music. He would've easily been the king of rock and roll if not have died at such a young age. The next time you all play or pick up a guitar in your life, you know who to thank for this. Straight up legend!!
I would say Buddy's voice sounds even better in this live performance than in the studio version.
Studios back then where in their infancy. Still they did amazing with what they had. Analog tape was hand cut and spliced. Plus tape wears out fast and picks up lint and dander. Editing takes and overdubbing made the songs sound old. Even when new. Its a shame they have digital recording and more multitracks and better mics now. Sure the recording is better sounding now but the music sounds worse. God we need more talent.
Not singing live. No mic.......
@@lauradona The mic was in there somewhere. If you have a good ear, you can tell the difference between his voice here and in the recording. Here it sounds somewhat fuller.
@@lauradonaYou are kidding, right. The Mike is above his head
Definitely live @@lauradona
Is it just me or does Buddy take the form of a giant here? Absolutely powerful and monstrously talented, rock n roll exuding from every part of him. That scream and the blistering, hot scrabble of noise that is the guitar solo...rock n roll magic. Buddy Holly Lives.
The Buddy Holly museum states he was 146 pounds and a height of 6”2
Well if I'm not mistaken Buddy was pretty tall lol
"Buddy Holly Lives." -- Amen
@charlesveg at 82 year old, I have sung "O Boy at last 1000 times.
Now , I accompany myself with my beautiful, Gipson, Humming Bird...
Holly was the only artist who played out with his own or co-written songs. He was a groundbreaker. Sullivan wanted his ass kissed.
R.I.P Buddy Holly. We’ll all miss his greatness 😭😭
As the cover says BUDDY HOLLY LIVES.
I like your name and pfp 👍👍 stay blessed friend
@@hhh.c_v we all got buddy pfp
True
Rip buddy holly! Who knows what couldve been made yet he didnt die. Btw found ur comment hah
If I’m not mistaken, this may have been the first time that an musician head-banged on national television 😊 0:58
It actually was 😮
Holly had a huge influence in England. Beatles named themselves after The Crickets as well as The Hollies naming themselves after Buddy. That's respect.
Yeah, holly was a great influence on rock n roll and made a big impact on rock
The Beatles got there Name from The Ancient Egyptian Scarab Dung Beetle 🪲in the Occult
@@Rubarb51 lol no
@@user-kw1hs4dn1g yes they are stop being in the dark .. an reaserch the truth
Buddy Holly also influenced John Lennon and Paul McCartney to start writing they're own songs.
Ah, another brilliant artist that Ed Sullivan was rude to. Gotta love Buddy Holly for not letting him get in the way.
you mean when he called him TEX on his first appearance? I would agree.
@@recordguy4321 during this performance, sullivan and the crickets got into an argument, and sullivan tried to turn off Holly's guitar amp
Ed Sullivan had never messed with the boy from West Texas
Like Waylon Jennings they tend to have a fuck you attitude
Sullivan had Buddy's amp turned off so Holly strummed his guitar harder to let people know it was turned off
And just like that Buddy puts a Fender Stratocaster on TV.
Considering the situation they were in at that moment, this song was absolutely perfect. This performance was the biggest fuck you to Ed, Hail Buddy Holly and the crickets.
Damm his Voice is Deadly!! Love listening 🎧 to his music 🎶🎵
Truly Beautiful ❤️
The Ed Sullivan Show was the most influential, most watched, popular variety program in the history of television. In spite of Ed Sullivan, himself...
If you considered the full context you wouldn't think that way. Ed had to balance being the maker of stars with the network's demands. It was his job to know what was likely to be acceptable to censors, and what the public would respond to. This was a time when people were being hounded out of showbiz for being black, for being allegedly gay, even just for being _suspected_ Communists. Basically only the absolute biggest acts (like Elvis) could (just barely) get away with pushing the boundaries, and Sullivan knew that. Maybe he didn't always get it right, and he did have a tendency to take it personally, but it's sorta understandable. If he's saying "You shouldn't do this song" it's his professional opinion.
When you look at the rest of his morality judgments (supporting black performers, defending their right to perform, supporting Ingrid Bergman after her scandalous affair saw her hounded out of America, trying to book alleged Communist sympathisers and only reluctantly stopping because his network told him to), he got it right most of the time.
It was a rilly big shew! 😎
He was the least important part of his own show. What he was doing was, in effect, serving as the 1950s version of CZcams, presenting the best videos he could find for you. Technology rendered him as useless as he always was from the start.
Crazy to think he’d be gone just the following year. R.I.P. Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and The Big Bopper.
Yup... and my father had tickets for his next show in Moorhead MN. I believe the plane crashed in Iowa, just a state away.
It Crashed in Clear Lake,Iowa on Tuesday morning February 3,1959.
It's interesting to see Buddy Holly's facial expressions during the performance, In some moments he seems confused by the sound of his guitar, but he realized that his performance was sabotaged... When he finished, he smiles saying "fuck you, you tried to sabotage us and we made an iconic performance"
Lol
yeah you can tell he looked quite annoyed in a lowkey facial expression
It looks like it, but he actually did not say that
I can see him looking down every few seconds
@@bethanygrishaw7159 Also trying to turn the volume knob up on the guitar. :19, :21. You can pin point the moment he realizes what Dick.... errr Ed did.
He was still on his way up when he died. He had so much talent and I think he would've continued to pioneer and amaze.
One of the greats from the 1950s and a major influence on the ,Beatles.
I once spent a couple days doing photography work at Lubbock HS (Buddy's school). On the first floor there is a display case with a bunch of Buddy Holly memorabilia. Make sure to check it out if you go there.
the father of modern rock
It doesn't get more Rock n' Roll than this.
This is why we still mourn Buddy Holly. A big F-U to Ed Sullivan.
Showing my age, I remember when he was alive, I was a young seaman in UK. What a performer!
I was born 2 1/2 years after his death
There's a small portion of country in the music and his voice which is cool.
Buddy had 53 weeks left on this earth after this show. Gone but never forgotten.
The sheer charisma of this man! I wish we would have seen what might have been.
When you realize there is no reference for Buddy to fall back on when composing his songs, that he is the originator of the rock ballad, you give him the credit he deserves, which is to say, he is the source of this entire gendre of music. Breathtaking!😮
Buddy holly was such a great musician,shame you cannot hear his fender
I know? Why was he playing so soft? Unless on stage it sounded louder? I have a 2000 American Fender Stratocaster
the same Sunburst color as Buddy's with the Maple Neck. Great guitar then, and now! 🎸
@@garychambers5850 sullivan turned the volume down because he was pissed at Holly for refusing sullivan's order to not play "Oh Boy!".
@@kurdtacolbain731 That's also why Sullivan intentionally mispronounced Holly's name during the introduction.
@@ElectricBananaClubnet yup. What a guy. :)
You can see Buddy turning up his volume dial at 0:20, to no avail!!
If there hadn’t been a Buddy Holly, there might not have been The Beatles.
Even their name (Beatles) was influenced by "Crickets."
Their cover of "That'll Be The Day" would've never existed.
you probably wouldn't have the whole British Invasion and thus any of the music that came out of California in response - most of those bands were heavily influenced by Buddy. He's brief time on this Earth and an everlasting effect for decades
They might have been but they wouldn't have been called the Beatles, I watched an interview with Paul McCartney and he said they got the name from the Crickets.
I agree😀👍🏿
Literally 'In Bloom'
In my opinion the king of rock and roll. The late great buddy holly
Dead at 22 and he was just getting started
It breaks my heart to know his life was cut short just as it really began. He seemed so pure and real. Such a huge loss. 😢
We love you Buddy!
I'm 17 and I love Buddy Holly! This song is one of my favs and the story behind this specific performance is really interesting
same here man, rock n roll.
Same
we need more of this music today.
Me too, I'm 17.
RIP Jerry Allison- Buddy Holly's friend & first co-founder of the Crickets. He was an amazing drummer, songwriter and musician. Thanks for the memories and for setting up building blocks to the roots of Rock'n'roll drumming.
RIP, thanks for mentioning him
R.I.P. Buddy-forever missed
Wish I could've seen him live.
Look what he accomplished and he was just 22. What a legend.
He was 21 here and 22 when he died. He was a completely polished professional and a songwriter at 21. J.I. was killing the drums at 18.
So glad cameras and tv was around to capture this. Absolutely an icon
My favourite part is when he screams and starts headbanging. The first to do it buddy holly. People really should learn the roots of rock with theae guys of the 50s.
@nurse_zoe Or..... Punk Rock is so Buddy.... I love Buddy and all-girl Japanese punk (See my Avatar, Shonen Knife)
The true king of Rock & Roll
A glaringly brilliant talent. Would have been an elvis, MJ, Beatles level star
I remember when Buddy died. I was in the fifth grade sitting in the classroom and the girl I had a huge crush on (nobody knew) turned around and said, “Did you hear Buddy Holly died?” He was a pioneer and a great prolific artist. It still hurts.
Here I am listening to Buddy Holly today, February 3, 2022, 63 years after the "Day the Music Died". Buddy Holly Lives. Gone, but not forgotten.
And just over a year later.... First guy to produce his own music passed. Just imagine what all he could have done for musicians and the industry. R.I.P. Buddy Holley.
R.I.P Buddy Holly 🙏🙏 🎸 🎸
He'll be 85 today
In my opinion the most important Rock’n’Roll influence in the whole business. He created the first rock and roll band in history. He also was the inspiration for all the 60s +bands including the Beatles & The Rolling Stones ect. He died way too young but his music will always be appreciated! ❤️
Well, he was incredibly important, and he is credited for starting the classic 4 piece band line up. There were Rock bands before him though. What about The band that recorded Rocket 88 in 1951? It was more than 4 guys, I think, but it was still a band. It was Ike Turner’s band and Jackie Bernstein. Bill Haley had a band, Elvis. Holly’s other guitarist wasn’t always around, so he had a 3 piece band much of the time, as in this performance.
@@stevestroh2267 Ike Turner's band was not a rock and roll band, it was an R&B band. Bill Haley's band was a R&R band, but it was set up more like a jump blues outfit. No, Buddy's band was the first one to show how a four-piece rock and roll band should be.
@@mikeymutual5489That's not true.
Elvis had Scotty Moore on lead guitar, Bill Black on bass and DJ Fontana on drums.
@@Flippie123 Except that Elvis's musical participation in his own group was only occasional. It was mostly a three-member group.
I was in kindergarten then. Although my family watched Ed Sullivan, which began a half hour after my favorite show, "Lassie", ended, I don't remember this show. Maybe it was past my bedtime. Later in 1958, I saw on TV two singers I do remember and loved - a cute boy named Ritchie Valens and a guy who talked on the telephone and sang called the Big Bopper. Then the two of them died in a plane crash with a third one I didn't know of, and it was very upsetting to then-6-year-old me. But I did know from the radio the song that went, "All my love, all my kissin'," and I eventually learned it was called "Oh Boy" and was done by that 3rd guy who died, Buddy Holly.
I was born in 65' and growing up in the 70's I listened to all my mothers albums of Elvis, Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly and the Everly Brothers. I would have given anything to be born 20 years earlier so I could have seen these guys in their prime. Greatest music ever!!!
I was born in 61 and only listened to my parent's music :) (Ps I was born in 61 and I turn 61 today!)
Buddy Holly, the original badass punk rocker through and through! 🎸🥁🤘🏻
Out of all the videos of Buddy Holly performances that survive, this is probably the best one, and also one of the most iconic Ed Sullivan show preformances
I was born 1981 never seen buddy Holly but still respect and love his music now in 2022. I love oldies and original music. Wish he would have been on stage with Johnny Lee lewis
Buddy “Hollet “ and his Crickets. Boy Ed Sullivan was channeling his inner mean girl.
Legendary. And well deserved. An eternal musical blessing to the world.
I can't even imagine how much we will never know what we truly lost when he died. Such an amazing talent gone too soon.
Challenge Buddy, he answers! Love this footage! Live Punk!
They came in, played the hell out of Oh Boy!, & got the hell out of there quickly! I would've too if I got my name mispronounced & my amp turned off! Another infamous rock & roll moment on the Sullivan Show.
Shocked by the quality. I understand why he was so important to Beatles and other artists after him.
Happy Heavenly 87th Birthday Buddy Holly September 7 1936 - February 3 1959
Buddy Holly, the music, the man, the god❤️
Rest in peace buddy Holly ❤️🕊️🪦😭😭🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹⚰️❤️❤️

Along with Buddy, of course I have other people I would like to meet on the other side... Along with my folks who are number one of course naturally ... but on my list I would love to meet ( if God would be so kind ) people like actors and actresses such as the incomparable Jimmy Stewart ) but also James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn just to name a few.. I would love to meet even though I'm a Red Sox fan but I'd love to meet the Great Christian gentleman also known as Lou Gehrig who was is fine a human being who has ever walked the face of the Earth.. from everything I've heard or read and long story shot his as fine as a human being that's ever existed.. God rest his soul
Buddy Holly was the f---ing greatest, ever. My dad was a huge, huge fan of his, and LOVED this song (his favorite). My dad actually died 60 years to the day, that the Day The Music Died (Feb 3rd, 2019). Buddy, Ritchie and Big Bopper died on Feb 3rd, 1959. Fitting he would go, quickly, early morning, that day. I miss you so much, Dad. I know Buddy and you are somewhere up/out there, sharing stories over beers.
My hero. Long live the music of Buddy Holly.
The first metal maniac. Bang your head. the first signs of thrash metal.
If there was a way to go back in time it would be the 40’s and 50’s. That has got to be the best era to have lived. The music, cars, and the way of life is unmatched. That’s when America was free.

I can see you struggle with English, but you should know that you are perfectly understandable! Your English is so much better than my Spanish. 😊
By the way, I visited your beautiful country in 1975, and still hope to return someday.
My favorite Buddy tune. Whenever it comes up in my playlist I sing my heart out. Even at work. Ed's got a real sourpuss expression in the beginning here.
You should look into the story of this performance there's more to Ed's look and mispronouncing of Buddy's name
Love watching The Buddy Holly Story…all of Buddy’s songs were the best. What a huge loss…😞
Felix Kranken is blasting on the Guitar
Buddy Hollick and his crickets.
Buddy Holly,a Legend,Bye for now love Alan
Top notch performance,it felt like we were there ❤️❤️
At 00:18, you can see Buddy turning up his volume knob, only to realize his amplifier has been sabotaged, turned down by Big Ed.
Really 😢
I bet he was fuming!
Buddy was from Texas, and like many from the south grew up in a musical family. He knew how to play that guitar and how to sing. Such a loss when he died. I think he'd still be making music today if he was alive.
He was something else.
Love that Buddy just tremolo picked as hard and loud as he could during the "solo" due to the sabotage!
Total dick move on Sullivan's part.
Fortunately, Buddy's throat mike caught enough of the guitar, to make it sound ok
My beloved Buddy 😍🥰
Every soul cries out in a loud voice that travels back in time, “Don’t get on the freakin’ plane Buddy!”
RIP Buddy Holly. He was great.
