Description

Reportedly inspired by John Wayne’s iconic catch-phrase “that’ll be the day”, this Rock ‘N Roll classic has an interesting pedigree. The song was written by Buddy Holly, Jerry Allison and producer Norman Petty. It has been covered many times over the years, but one of the most interesting would be an early demo from ‘The Quarrymen’ — later to be known as The Beatles. Holly’s catchy, swingin’ groove and fun, love-inspired lyrics have made this song one of his best loved.
