I just love this song. I don’t… it’s just one of my favorites in ” Live at the BBC”. I really love when George sings ” waiting ” in the
“Crying (crying)
Tears keep a-falling all night long
Waiting (waiting)
It seems so useless
I know it’s wrong”

I love his voice 🙂 They’re amazing.

This recording is just an example of how important George was during the band’s club days. Just on this Decca audition alone, he takes the lead vocal on 4 songs…

No, back then session musicians didn’t get credit on the record sleeve. Actually, I remember George stating in an interview that he didn’t know until years later that this particular Holly song was overdubbed after his death.

I wonder if the Beatles thought that Buddy did the solo? Would the studio musician credits be listed on the records? I remember reading in some Beatles book that Merseyside audiences wanted to hear the record versions of the songs, and the bands would try to replicate as best they could. If George did an exact version it must have been thrilling for the audiences at the time.
