John Fogerty Buddy Holly Tribute Medley 1988 PBS
John Fogerty Buddy Holly Tribute Medley (1988 PBS). From my Sunday Night Hall of Fame Show tapes and my VHS Buddy Holly collection: This video features a great performance by Creedence Clearwater frontman John Fogerty that was taped for the 1988 PBS special: Buddy Holly and The Crickets A Tribute. Fogerty was in fine form on this show as he sings a medley of songs including Buddy s : Its So Easy and Rave On sandwiched between Fogerty s take on the classic Ledbetter song Cotton Fields. Buddy Holly and the Crickets became one of my favorites in 1957 when I first heard Thatll Be The Day on my radio. I started writing, producing and hosting tributes to Buddy, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper as early as 1969 on WEEX AM 1230 in Easton, Pa. That was the tenth anniversary of the plane crash and coincided with the Coral album release Buddy Holly Giant. At first I called the special tribute show Three Star Special, as influenced by a 1959 hit song The Three Star
