The Beat Goes On

Three Strokes/Rest/Two Strokes was invented by Bo Diddley on Chicago's South Side and revealed to the world with both sides of "Bo Diddley/I'm A Man" in 1955. Buddy Holly paid tribute to Bo Diddley's invention in 1957 with "Not Fade Away." Bruce Springsteen added his own version of the Bo Diddley Beat in 1975 with "She's The One." This vlog is a time machine. Who needs Dick Clark? If this is (fair & balanced) nostalgia, so be it.

The Circkets Featuring Buddy Holly — "Not Fade Away"

[Vocal: Buddy Holly, Background Vocal and Guitar: Niki Sullivan, Background Vocal and Drums: Jerry Allison, and Bass: Joe B. Mauldin. Recorded May 29, 1957, in the Norman Petty recording studio in Clovis New Mexico. Released the same year as the B-Side to "Oh Boy." This outtake is spliced. The first 50 seconds are used from the original master, the rest is the alternate. This song was written by Buddy Holly and Jerry Allison, but Norman Petty, the producer, took partial credit. The record label credits the song to Norman Petty and Charles Hardin; Buddy Holly's given name was Charles Hardin Holley.]
