“An Empty Cup And A Broken Date” by Buddy Holly – track #9 from “The Chirping Crickets” album was written by Roy Orbison. Released November 27, 1957. This was their debut album, so they weren’t even called “Buddy Holly and the Crickets” yet!
On this day in 1964, Roy Orbison released his hit song ‘Oh, Pretty Woman!’ Expect to hear this hit when Roy Orbison and Buddy Holly return to the stage in a cutting edge holographic performance on tour this fall!
