REAL WILD CHILD 1958 SONG FULL

The real Crickets were outraged on being portrayed as racists, as well as the latter scene in which they appear at Holly's door wanting to reunite. In addition, there are only two Crickets - a bass player clearly being Mauldin and a drummer modeled on Allison, and the character of Sullivan and his quitting the band is omitted entirely. Due to The Crickets selling the rights to another studio, their film counterparts' names were changed for legal reasons. In the film The Buddy Holly Story, the story of the band was altered drastically and includes many inaccuracies. The album Remnants was released in 1973 with band members Allison, Curtis, Albert Lee, Ric Grech, Steve Krikorian (later known as Tonio K.), Carol Montgomery, and Nick VanMaarth. The Crickets (Jerry and Joe) continued to record on their own with guitarist Sonny Curtis and vocalist Earl Sinks. Destiny stepped in and the music world suffered its first tragic accident February 3, 1959. They had planned to fly to Moorehead, MN, and surprise their friend. But after about 4 months, Jerry and Joe B began to have second thoughts about the breakup of the band.

Dion and newcomer Frankie Sardo also performed on this particular tour. Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper were booked on the tour with Holly and his new band. The new band consisted of Tommy Allsup, Waylon Jennings and Carl Bunch on drums. The big move was the real reason why The Crickets initially broke up, but Holly was not daunted by the breakup he chose a new back-up band for the Winter Dance Party Tour. For the same reason, Jerry and Joe were not ready to leave small town Lubbock for big city NY. Rhythm guitarist Sullivan wasn't comfortable with the amount of traveling and to a lesser extent, he didn't fit in with Jerry and Joe B. It should be worth noting that they almost chose the name The Beetles (it is said that John Lennon later named his band in homage to Holly and The Crickets). In real life, they chose the name due to huge number of crickets in Texas that particular time of year. Holly's manager (Norman Petty) and owner of the Norman Petty Studio in Clovis ,NM, decided to keep the chirping in the record, but this is in no way tied to the origin of the band's name. Other names had been considered including The Scoundrels and The Spiders. It is said not to be the case that The Crickets chose their name while listening to a playback of 'I'm Gonna Love You Too' rather, the name was chosen while going through an encyclopedia of names. After Holly's death in 1959 the band continued to tour and record into the 1960s and beyond, with other band members through to the 21st century. The Crickets helped set the template for subsequent rock bands, with their guitar-bass-drums line-up, performing their own self-written material. The sleeve of their first album, The 'Chirping' Crickets, showed the band line-up at the time: Holly on lead vocals and lead guitar, Niki Sullivan on rhythm guitar, Jerry Allison on drums, and Joe B. Their first hit record, 'That'll Be the Day' (written by Buddy Holly and Jerry Allison), released in May 1957, peaked at number three on the US Billboard Top 100 chart on 16 September 1957.
