This was the second single that The Crickets released without Buddy Holly, who died in a plane crash on Feb. 3, 1959. Holly actually left the group already in 1958.
This is a fine piece that shows that the group was able to stand on their own, without their leading star.
An English rockabilly band, Matchbox covered the title song in 1980.
