TRIBUTE TO BUDDY HOLLY
Buddy Holly’s death had a profound effect in the United Kingdom; Buddy’s final single, “It Doesn’t Matter Anymore” rose to #1 on the charts following his death. In 1961, the ground-breaking record producer Joe Meek, working with singer Mike Berry created “Tribute To Buddy Holly” that seemed like the man himself singing from beyond the grave. Joe Meek apparently never got over the loss, and he committed suicide in 1967 on the anniversary of the airplane crash.
