ReviewsVariety - ...[The film] packs solid dramatic and musical punch....THE BUDDY HOLLY story smacks of realism....Gary Busey not only imparts the driven, perfectionist side of Holly's character, but his vocal work is excellent..., New York Times - ...[Busey gives a] galvanizing solo performance....Comes alive [during the musical segments]...
Additional InformationA powerful biography of '50s Texas rockabilly phenomenon Buddy Holly who took his band the Crickets to the top of the charts before a tragic airplane accident ended his life. Portrays Holly as regular, hardworking type who struggles with peers and the music industry before he makes it big with the huge hit "That'll Be The Day." Also details the final events leading up to the plane crash, en route to Minnesota in a snow storm on February 3, 1959, which also claimed the lives of Richie Valens and the Big Bopper.

  • Buddy Holly Story

    I was around when Buddy Holly was living and this video takes me back. If any Buddy Holly fans didn't see this, you should get this video and walk down memory lane. I would give it 5 out of 5. Good viewing.

  • Thoroughly enjoyable.

    Nice easy pace of story, learnt a few things about the singer I didn't know like his dealings with the recording contracts. Enjoyed the music. Wasn't as upset asI should have been at the end with his plane crash.

  • BUDDY LIVES ON

    5 stars for the movie itself because it,s a great version of the life and short career of Buddy and the crickets. On the down side this version is meant to be a remastered version but to me it looks like it has been copied straight from a vhs tape.
