Original member of Buddy Holly’s band, The Crickets, Joe B. Mauldin passed away over the weekend.  Another Texan (Lubbock) like Holly and Roy Orbison, Gentleman Joe B. or Joe Baby, as Buddy Holly called him, made a huge impact on the early rock & roll scene.

We send our heartfelt condolences to Joe B.’s friends and family.

Here’s Buddy Holly & The Crickets (with Joe B. on bass) playing “YOU’VE GOT LOVE” written by Roy Orbison, Johnny Wilson, and Norman Petty-

Happy Birthday Buddy Holly!

Buddy Holly recorded many Roy Orbison songs in his short but brilliant life: “You’ve Got Love,” “A True Love Goodbye,” “An Empty Cup!” After Roy discovered Norman Petty’s Studios in Clovis, New Mexico, he told his friend Buddy about it. There the Crickets recorded some of the greatest music of all time with Buddy Holly’s rock and roll.

Long Live Buddy Holly!
