The Buddy Holly Story
1978, 110 minutes, Rated PG
Gary Busey gives an electrifying, Oscar nominated performance (Best Actor 1978) as Buddy Holly - the musical genuius from Lubbock, Texas, who changed the tune of rock 'n' history.
With a groundbreaking combination of country music and rhythm & blues, Buddy Holly and the Crickets (Don Stroud, Charles Martin Smith) catapulted to national stardom in just three short years with such hits as "That'll Be The Day", "It's So Easy", and "Peggy Sue". By the age of 22, Holly had it all: chart-topping singles, a beautiful wife and international acclaim - until tragedy ended a brilliant career...but not his music.
In an Academy Award winning score adaption, Busey sings Holly's greatest hits in this dynamic tribute to one of the mose influential rock 'n' rollers of all time and the legacy he left behind.
