He opened for Presley three times that year; his band's style shifted from country and western to entirely rock and roll. In October that year, when he opened for Bill Haley & His Comets, he was spotted by Nashville scout Eddie Crandall, who helped him get a contract with Decca Records. Holly's recording sessions at Decca were produced by Owen Bradley.
Unhappy with Bradley's control in the studio and with the sound he achieved there, he went to producer Norman Petty in Clovis, New Mexico, and recorded a demo of "That'll Be the Day", among other songs. Petty became the band's manager and sent the demo to Brunswick Records, which released it as a single credited to "The Crickets", which became the name of Holly's band. In September 1. 95.

He was among the first artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in 1. Rolling Stone magazine ranked him number 1. Greatest Artists". Life and career[edit]Early life and career (1. Buddy Holly was born Charles Hardin Holley on September 7, 1. Lubbock, Texas; he was the fourth child of Lawrence Odell "L.
O." Holley (1. 90. Ella Pauline Drake (1.
His elder siblings were Larry (born in 1. Travis (1. 92. 7–2. Patricia Lou (1. 92. From early childhood, he was nicknamed "Buddy". During the Great Depression, the Holleys frequently moved residence within Lubbock; L. O. changed jobs several times.
Buddy Holly was baptized a Baptist, and the family were members of the Tabernacle Baptist Church. The Holleys had an interest in music; all the family members except L. O. were able to play an instrument or sing. The elder Holley brothers performed in local talent shows; on one occasion, Buddy joined them on violin. Since he could not play it, his brother Larry greased the strings so it would not make any sound. The brothers won the contest.
During World War II, Larry and Travis were called to military service. Upon his return, Larry brought with him a guitar he had bought from a shipmate while serving in the Pacific. At age 1. 1, Buddy took piano lessons, but abandoned them after nine months. He switched to the guitar after he saw a classmate playing and singing on the school bus. Buddy's parents initially bought him a steel guitar, but he insisted that he wanted a guitar like his brother's. His parents bought the guitar from a pawnshop, and Travis taught him to play it. During his early childhood, Buddy was influenced by the music of Hank Williams, Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Snow, Bob Wills, and the Carter Family.
At Roscoe Wilson Elementary, he became friends with Bob Montgomery, and the two played together, practising with songs by the Louvin Brothers and Johnnie & Jack. They both listened to the radio programs Grand Ole Opry on WSM , Louisiana Hayride on KWKH, and Big D Jamboree. At the same time, Holley played with other musicians he met in high school, including Sonny Curtis and Jerry Allison.[6] In 1.
Holley and Jack Neal participated as a duo billed as "Buddy and Jack" in a talent contest on a local television show. After Neal left, he was replaced by Montgomery and they were billed as "Buddy and Bob".
The two soon started performing on the Sunday Party show on KDAV in 1. Lubbock. At that time, Holley was influenced by late- night radio stations that played blues and rhythm and blues (R& B). Holley would sit in his car with Curtis and tune to distant radio stations that could only be received at night, when local transmissions ceased.
Holley then modified his music by blending his earlier country and western (C& W) influence with R & B. By 1. 95. 5, after graduating from high school, Holley decided to pursue a full- time career in music. He was further encouraged after seeing Elvis Presley performing live in Lubbock, whose act was booked by Pappy Dave Stone of KDAV. In February, Holley opened for Presley at the Fair Park Coliseum, in April at the Cotton Club, and again in June at the Coliseum. By that time, he had incorporated into his band Larry Welborn on the stand- up bass and Allison on drums, as his style shifted from C& W to rock and roll. In October, Stone booked Bill Haley & His Comets and placed Holley as the opening act to be seen by Nashville scout Eddie Crandall. Impressed, Crandall persuaded Grand Ole Opry manager Jim Denny to seek a recording contract for Holley.
Stone sent a demo tape, which Denny forwarded to Paul Cohen, who signed the band to Decca Records in February 1. In the contract, Decca misspelled Holley's last name as "Holly"; from then on, he was known as "Buddy Holly". On January 2. 6, 1. Holly attended his first formal recording session, which was produced by Owen Bradley.[1.
He attended two more sessions in Nashville, but with the producer selecting the session musicians and arrangements, Holly became increasingly frustrated by his lack of creative control. In April 1. 95. 6, Decca released "Blue Days, Black Nights" as a single, with "Love Me" on the B- side.
Denny included Holly on a tour as the opening act for Faron Young. During the tour, they were promoted as "Buddy Holly and the Two Tones", while later Decca called them "Buddy Holly and the Three Tunes". The label later released Holly's second single "Modern Don Juan", backed with "You Are My One Desire". Neither single made an impression. On January 2. 2, 1.
Decca informed Holly his contract would not be renewed, but insisted he could not record the same songs for anyone else for five years. The Crickets (1. 95. Buddy Holly and the Crickets in 1. Allison, Holly and Mauldin)Holly was unhappy with the results of his time with Decca; he was inspired by the success of Buddy Knox's "Party Doll" and Jimmy Bowen's "I'm Stickin' with You", and visited Norman Petty, who had produced and promoted both records.
