I Remember Buddy Holly
1963 studio album by Bobby Vee / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I Remember Bobby Holly is a studio album by American singer, Bobby Vee, and was released in December 1963 by Liberty Records.[1] Ernie Freeman arranged the album, while Snuff Garrett produced it. It is a tribute album to the songs of Rock and roll and Rockabilly singer Buddy Holly, whom Vee listed among his influences. After Holly was killed on February 3, 1959, along with Ritchie Valens, the Big Bopper, and pilot Roger Peterson when their plane crashed in Iowa on their way to Fargo, North Dakota, Vee was selected to replace Holly on the tour, which led to the launch of his recording career.[2]
