Buddy Holly and The Crickets recorded their hit version of "That'll Be The Day" this day in 1957 in Clovis, NM. The title was taken from a line in the John Wayne movie The Searchers. Buddy had recorded a version a year earlier for Decca and was prohibited to re-record those songs under his name even if Decca didn't use them. It's why this came out as "The Crickets" on Brunswick. Buddy was also signed to a "solo" deal under Coral so recordings on that label came out under just Buddy's name.
