- Duane Eddy - Hits Medley from Buddy Holly & The Crickets A Tribute (1988 PBS). From my Sunday Night Hall of Fame Show tapes and my VHS Buddy Holly collection:
This video features a performance by legendary guitarst Duane Eddy and his appearance on the 1988 PBS special: “Buddy Holly and The Crickets - A Tribute”
After the first few years of American Bandstand and the Dick Clark Beechnut Saturday night shows, Duane Eddy’s TV appearances were always few and far between. So it was great to see and hear “The King Of The Twang” again, as he played a couple of his many instrumental hits, including his signature song “Rebel Rouser”, and then “Ramrod”.
Buddy Holly and the Crickets became one of my favorites in 1957 when I first heard “That’ll Be The Day” on my radio. I started writing, producing and hosting tributes to Buddy, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper as early as 1969 on WEEX - AM 1230 in Easton, Pa. That was the tenth anniversary of the plane crash and coincided with the Coral album release “Buddy Holly - Giant”. At first I called the special tribute show “Three Star Special”, as influenced by a 1959 hit song “The Three Stars” by Tommy Dee. After Don McLean’s dedication of “American Pie” to Buddy, I started calling the show “The Day the Music Died”. My tribute shows continued throughout my broadcast radio career in the Lehigh Valley, PA and Northwest New Jersey area. The last time my five-hour special aired was February 3, 1999 on WODE - Oldies 99.9.
To Recap: This video features a segment from the 1988 PBS special: “Buddy Holly and The Crickets - A Tribute”. The video and audio track have been restored from a VHS tape that I recorded off the air in 1988 as broadcast by WLVT-TV, PBS Channel 39 of the Lehigh Valley, PA.
The Sunday Night Hall of Fame Show was broadcast from 1980 to 1992 on WAEB - AM 790 and WKAP - AM 1320. My show returned between 1999 and August 2001 on WODE “ Oldies 99.9”. All stations were located in the Allentown - Bethlehem - Easton, PA area, AKA: The Lehigh Valley. - Hudba
He was the best, this sound you don't hear anymore, rest in peace,
Rest Easy Duane Eddy
Buddies music will never die! neither will Rock n Roll I was there when it started and thank the Lord I am still here to listen to it. Duane Eddy was there and one of my favourites but there was many. When I walk down the seafront in a well known Spanish place and Rock n Roll music is being played at full blast I just wonder where we would be without it. Thank you Rock n Roll and the musicians that played It...DG now in my 80s...
R.I.P. Duane Eddy🤍🤍🤍🎸
