Buddy Holly's melodic rock & roll was a major influence on The Beatles and many other British Invasion groups including of course The Hollies. His Greatest Hits includes nine of the tracks from the posthumous 1959 Buddy Holly Story LP. (UK:9)
"Buddy Holly was a genius. It's as simple as that. His creation of music was in a class by itself and his work remains nonpareil and will continue to delight many for time immemorial. These are timeless classics that you will never tire of hearing. Buddy Holly could not do a bad song if he tried."
"Holly is a true cultural icon, and this collection has great historical importance. But it's fine to momentarily forget about the legend and just enjoy the music. Decades after these songs were recorded, they remain fresh and full of irrepressible life."
"If you don't know Buddy Holly's music, you really should familiarize yourself with it. Bottom line: it is masterful and definitive early rock 'n' roll. This album offers a fantastic way of getting to know some of the very best music that came from this amazing musician. I highly recommend purchasing and devouring this album."
"The whole LP is filled with timeless Buddy Holly classics that will never be left in the past. Its amazing to realize how much talent there was in someone so young. The songs are incredible. Even though Buddy is gone, his spirit and talent will live always and he will never be forgotten." "If this is all you ever hear of Buddy Holly you will never appreciate just how great and far ahead of his time he was. To me nobody in the 50s came even close to being as talented, or as big an influence, as Buddy Holly."
"Don Maclean's American Pie features the line - 'The day the music died'. He was speaking of the death of Buddy Holly after a plane crash. Holly's career was cut tragically short. He only had a career spanning a few years and a small number of recording sessions. Yet his star burned brightly during that brief time."
"While these songs may be old, they'll never go out of style."
