Song of the Day: Oh, Boy!

We’re taking it back a little ways today with a Buddy Holly tune. “Oh, Boy!” was recorded by Buddy Holly and the Crickets and released in October 1957. The song was very popular, peaking at #10 on the U.S. charts and #3 on the U.K. charts. Even though Buddy Holly was a very popular artist, I still don’t think he gets the credit he deserves from folks nowadays for his contributions to rock n roll. He’s one of the best to ever do it. And lastly, I think it’s impossible to listen to this and not wish you were alive during the late 50s/early 60s. It reminds me of the great movie American Graffiti, and makes me want to cruise around listening this this type of music just like them.
