- John Fogerty - Buddy Holly Tribute Medley (1988 PBS). From my Sunday Night Hall of Fame Show tapes and my VHS Buddy Holly collection:
This video features a great performance by Creedence Clearwater frontman John Fogerty that was taped for the 1988 PBS special: “Buddy Holly and The Crickets - A Tribute”. Fogerty was in fine form on this show as he sings a medley of songs including Buddy's : “It’s So Easy” and “Rave On” sandwiched between Fogerty's take on the classic Ledbetter song "Cotton Fields".
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. - เพลง

I am 80 years old, and Buddy Holly was one of my heroes. I also love John Fogerty, and his rendition of Buddy Holly's song is wonderful!
Check out The Bobby Fuller Four.
My and my young daughter just watched this and all I did was say stuff like "John Fogerty is one of the most talented people from California" and "This man made me cry with the way he played his guitar and sang - made a lot of people cry - tears of joy - so many times, I'm so grateful to him!"
Thanks for sharing your story of sharing the music with yet another generation
Wow , just wow . I’m 46 , as a kid I watched the Buddy Holly Story with my Dad , and asked for a guitar asap . Never been the same since . I live in Texas , and stand by my proclamation that Charles Hardin Holley is the most important musician in Texas History .
That’s so cool that he inspired you to learn/play the guitar. I live in Tulsa, OK and one of our “native sons” actor Gary Busey, played and literally “became” Buddy Holly in that movie roll. I loved the movie and Buddy Holly too, have several books about him, he was so important in the history of rock and roll.
I also love the TX musician-slide guitarist Johnny Winter. TX & OK sure produced some phenomenal musicians-songwriters, must be something magical in the water✨✨✨.
yup!@@KittyGrizGriz
damn straight! -j.p.l. lubek
You've got my vote luv the rockabilly sound now
Don't forget about Ol' Willie!
Oh my, I love Kris K., John F., and especially 🥰 Buddy Holly!!
Glad you enjoyed the video.. many don't realize that back then, and for over a decade, any appearance by John Fogerty was considered a rare treat, his performances were very few and very far apart.
John Fogerty does a great tribute to Buddy. You can see that he really loves the songs he’s playing.
Im 43, my dad played Buddy all the time when I was a kid, my dad gave me my great taste in music. R&R is still all i listen to especially Buddy, i still get chills when I listen to him, hes the best. I saw the Hollogram of Buddy and Roy, brought me to tears. I wish I could have seen Buddy in concert.
Love John Fogerty's voice!
What I particularly like about Fogerty is that he sings it like he means it! 👏🎶🎸🎤👍😊🥳
The one and only...John Fogerty !!!...Superb !!!🎸🎸🎵🎵🌟🌟
YES.THE.BEST.
Rock'n'Roll can never die...❤
I can't listen to music by Buddy Holly without wondering how much good music we do not have because Buddy died so young.
I always often ponder the same thing
FACT !
Me too!

I agree but dont forget another texan his bass player that lived on and had a great carrer and influence on😢 the world sometimes death dont stop everything
We use to sing along at the local milkbar with all these songs.and at63 still sing them. Its like being given,.a gift to hear this music.,,,once again,,thanks John,,JW AUST
Grew up on Buddy, number 1 but John would have to be number 2, fantastic. Two unique performers. Never saw Buddy live but have seen John many times.
I had the honour to play with the original crickets and Dion in a reunion show when the Buddy Holly story/movie came out Waylon Jennings referred me after I had finished touring with him and Willie Nelson
Omg 😳 how lucky were you? What do you “play?” So glad Waylon wasn’t on that plane “the day the music died”. Like a fool I didn’t care for country music as a teenager back when Waylon/Willie/Kristofferson/Skynyrd were touring summer of ‘77 “Outlaw Country”. My friends begged me to go darn it I missed out big time, love their music now. Tell us some stories we’d love to hear them! 😅
BUDDY WAS THE TRUE KING OF R & R !!
o⁹
I’m near to death, but buddy and John Prine with Karen carpenter, r putting on a show for me, when I get there. Can’t wait.
Das sind Klänge, die in die Beine geh'n!👌👌👌👌👌👌
Das stimmt!
There's nothing like seeing an old guy play songs from before he became a recording artist, on a Strat with a Floyd Rose Trem. LOL.
Amazing trbiute to buddy holly songs.....keep rocking John...your the best....JW. AUST
Great! What I learned from a local Buddy tribute artist was that Buddy always played guitar on the downstroke. That's what Fogerty seems to do.
Maravilhosa esta homenagem ao Buddy Holly
The Fog!! ‘Songs that became our hymns’ .. seemed that way to me! Though all of CCR stuff was written before I was born. Crazy. It’s like CCR songs have always existed or sound like they should of always been there. I guess that’s what makes a good song, when you feel it always existed. Thanks for this video. :)
John Fogerty é simplesmente fantástico!!!
I taped this show in 1988 too! Your video is better quality than mine--great to see it again!
This is what rock and roll roll was that started it all chuck buddy Jerry d Eddie with out them we have nothing Waylon on bass
Rave!! ❤ On!! Love it!!
John owned that stage
One more John Fogerty is all time the BEST!!!!!
nice to hear the melody played on a piano..Ty
Awesome
Absolute goosebumps stuff. My new favourite You Tube video.
An awesome tribute combining best musician of the 50s with my absolute best musician of the 70s.
And WOW - did John add his magic talents to these awesome songs.
Buddy was great but there were so many greats then it's impossible to pick just one best one, I mean, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Ray Charles, etc............
i love john
Piano player sounds a lot like the “Tulsa Sound” aka Mr Leon Russell ❤
A good tribute.
Wow woww wowww 🎼🕺💖
This version cranks!
rave on....wow!!!
miss buddy
Music of the 60th.
Here's some cassettes I had when I was 10 (in 81) may be I was a fish out of water at the time, I don't know.....Buddy Holly, hits, Beach Boys hits, hits of Surf Music in the 80....of course I had Hank JR, Kenny Rodgers. I really didn't get into most of mainstream music, until high school. After high school stopped listening to main stream music again.
Thanks! Love this!!!
Great !!!
BEAUTIFULL,LINDO .
John Fogerty is awesome with his tribute to Buddy Holly’s music. After all he was around when the Crickets were recording their music and that’s who they listened to on the radio. A few years later the Golliwogs would form and later that band would become CCR.
love john and his old music it is great
Awesome!!!!
Legends honoring legends
absolutely awesome.
John does this total justice, what a fine musician ❤
John is the man
QUE DE BONS ET MAGNIFIQUES SOUVENIR ET SUPERBE ÉPOQUE.....
John Fogerty - großartig!!!
Thank you.
Fogerty rules!
great love it👌
Save Buddy!
Rave on!
This is great! Thanks!
You're very welcome!
John and Brian Setzer lived on for Buddy who unfortunately died too young,they can only but make me imagine what Holly would have accomplished.
Buddy was great😂
Love Buddy and Marty Robbins. Apparently, Buddy made a wallet for Marty.
Love John no matter what he sings❤️❤️
Saw on the internet that Buddy made a wallet for Marty Robbins. Two of the coolest guys in music.
Merci.
EPIC
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Thats it!!!The Best ever!
Maravilha homenagem. Também a qualidade do musicos, todos da melhor qualidade. O som não deve nada a sonorização de hoje e John Forgerty
It's a crazy thing that the first song has a fourth chord every now and then! Really revolutionary! Very rich melodies too 👌
Buddy Holly > Beethoven
Looks like Harrison Ford playing John Fogerty playing Buddy Holly....but it's good 👍
❤Gooooöd!
Maravilha
DE TRES BONS ROCK EN ROOL
Go Johnny go andBuddy Holly and go all old musc
JF looks like Michael Landon
Not to me, more like Harrison Ford from the side view. 👍
так или иначе - есть два голоса , сразу разящих наповал - в великобритании - это - нодди холдер , и понятно в сша -- это джон фогерти - обоих музыкантов и их группы и в ссср и в россии всегда любили и обожали с 1968 года - это символы этих стран останутся навсегда , так что ...
Джон красава
I don't think Buddy ever did "Cotton Fields".....
It was too good to break the flow and edit it out, and I think most of us can use a little more vintage Fogerty!
@@rodwolfeoldiesradiodj6545Excellent choice. Nobody will ever do “Cotton Fields” like JC, and the harmony on this version was gorgeous.
@@rodwolfeoldiesradiodj6545
heck yes! Give me a Fogerty song any day. He looks great here, he was about 43 then. Still rocking at 78.
Maravilloso como siempre GRACIAS Jhon Fogerty ❤
@@shaykatz5648John’s really hot looking here, whew!! 😅 He looks a lil’ like Harrison Ford from a side view.
👍 🎵 🎶
Is that Nicky Hopkins @ 1.48 and near the end?
He kinda looks like Nicky H., to me. Hmmm am not sure, a good question 🙋🏼♀️
😅😊❤❤❤
Who is the other guitarist ?
The band playing with John is the”Bone Shakers!” They are a band John adopted when he was getting back in the music business iafter one of his hiatus!
@@davidkirkham6497Ty! Who’s playing keyboard/piano, someone asked if it was Nicky Hopkins?
Where's the remainder of the show ?.... C'mon man !
I've tried but it gets blocked, I guess because I don't have enough subscribers or total channel views.
@@rodwolfeoldiesradiodj6545Darn it.
CCR better than Beatles
Fogerty sold his catalog and then was sued for sounding too much like John Fogerty, but before that the band imploded because the rest of them thought they could write songs, sad
Back in the day when WAEB actually played music. Now it is all political talk show crap.
Was that Paul Shaffer on the keyboard’s? 🎹I would love to see other bands paying tributes to buddy holly music 🤓🎸
Too much hair for Paul Shaffer, I think. Someone else asked if it was Nicky Hopkins?
The band John is playing with are the Boneshakers! John kind of adopted them when he was getting back in the music business!
Straight up freaking music. NO BULLSHIT LONG LIVE ROCK. Most music today SUCKS
Two of the greatest of all time.
