Buddy Holly's unstoppable punk

Dooley writes, "Introduced on national TV by Arthur Murray's wife… 'And now we have some young singers who are creating a great deal of excitement in the Paramount Theater here in New York… Now if you haven't heard of these young men, then you must be the wrong age…'

After that apologetic introduction, Buddy Holly, his drummer Jerry Alison and his bass player Joe Mauldin perform the new hit single 'Peggy Sue' and blow away the TV audience and the remainder of all recorded time."
