Yes! I was eleven when I first heard this. I think Ricky was on the Ed Sullivan Show? but I remember jumping up and dancing and mother and daddy just laughing. What a great sound and feeling! Thank you....

I was in 8th grade on February 3, 1958 "The Day the Music Died" when he, Buddy Holly, and The Big Bopper were killed in a plane crash, later commemorated by Don McClean in "American Pie"
