Holly would make the US Top 40 only once more, early in 1959 with “It Doesn’t Matter Anymore,” and tragically lost his life in that fateful plane crash even as the song was climbing the charts. Listen to the best of Buddy Holly on Apple Music and Spotify. But neither single quite fulfilled its early promise: Holly’s peaked at No.32 and Darin’s at No.24, his fans perhaps a little distracted (and understandably confused) by the simultaneous success of “Splish Splash.” Produced by the Grammy Award-winning Peter Asher, who assembled a very diverse group of artists to record their favorite Buddy Holly songs, he encouraged each. By the time Darin’s earlier take entered the magazine’s final Top 100 Sides list, he was in the Top 5 with “Splish Splash.” So now, naturally, Atco changed the credit on the other 45 to “Bobby Darin and the Rinky Dinks.” Climbing in tandemīriefly, the Darin and Holly versions climbed the new Hot 100 in tandem, both entering the Top 40 on the August 11 chart. It entered the bestsellers a week after the Rinky Dinks’ recording, in early August, on Billboard’s very first Hot 100 chart. (Ooh ooh) But you know I'm yours (Ooh ooh) And I know you're mine (Ooh ooh) And that's for all of time Ooh-wee-ooh, I look just like Buddy Holly Oh oh, and you're Mary Tyler Moore I don't care what they say about us anyway I don't care 'bout that Don't you ever fear, I'm always near I know that you need help Your tongue is twisted, your eyes. On July 5, 1958, Holly’s version of “Early In The Morning” was released on Coral. It even had the same B-side, with Holly covering another Darin composition, “You’re The One.” But Decca owned not only the Brunswick label but also Coral, for whom Holly recorded, and then rushed Buddy into the studio to produce a carbon-copy of the Darin/Ding Dongs/Rinky Dinks release.īuddy’s version of the song used the same studio, the same musicians, arrangement, producer and the same gospel-style backing vocals of the Helen Way Singers. A second pseudonymīefore it was clear that “Splish Splash” would make the grade as a hit, Atco released Darin’s same “reclaimed” recording of “Early In The Morning” themselves, now under another pseudonym, the Rinky Dinks. Atco then released “Splish Splash,” which entered the charts in June to become his debut smash and led to his contract renewal – but meanwhile, an even more tangled story was developing. London: Icon Books.Unsurprisingly, of course, Atco soon recognized “the Ding Dongs” by Darin’s distinctive vocal tones, and forced Brunswick to turn the master tape of the song over to them.

Who wrote the song buddy holly series#
He told the BBC's Classic Albums series in 2019, "I said 'All my love, all my kissing, you're gonna see what you've been missing'. West has stated that Holly made a small change to the original lyrics of the song. (Holly also covered another West song, " Rave On".) The song is in an A-A-B-A format with a 12-bar blues verse and an 8-bar bridge. On the BBC's Classic Albums series in 2019, West said, "I had a decision to make whether to say I want to do it myself and I said 'No, I want Buddy to do it', it can't hurt anything and if it didn't work I could go back and do it myself someday." It was subsequently recorded by Buddy Holly and the Crickets between June 29 and July 1, 1957, at Norman Petty Studios with Holly singing lead vocals and The Picks providing backing vocals.
Petty presented West's demo to Buddy Holly with the intention of Holly recording the song. The song was originally recorded as a demo by Sonny West as "All My Love (Oh Boy!)" at Norman Petty Studios in Clovis, New Mexico in early 1957.
