What The Buddy Holly Story Is About
A biography of Buddy Holly's short career. A young man in Texas looking for his own sound clashes with the Nashville producers who tell him what to play, and insists on recording with his own band his own way. Their booking at the Apollo Theater, made in the mistaken belief that they were a Black group, is among the best sections. The ending is known: a plane crash in 1959. Gary Busey played and sang the part himself and the songs were recorded live on set, which is the film's strength. It treats the facts freely.
