Movie Reviews of Buddy Holly: Rave On

Movie Review: Typically Excellent A&E Biography presentation
Summary: 5 Stars

Highly recommended for those younger people who are "new" to the great Buddy Holly, as well as for those Baby-Boomers who remember him vaguely, or otherwise have let 50 years of a busy life push his brilliantly creative music and talent to the faded background of their memories. Harry Smith does a good job with his even-handed yet captivating narration, and the editors make the most of the very limited amount of surviving film and photographs of Buddy Holly and the Crickets, 1956-59. For the real Buddy Holly "experts" and long-time afficionados, then the Paul McCartney video tribute, although older, will likely be more satisfying. But this A&E Biography version has nothing to apologize for, and does a fine job in presenting Buddy's story, and the tragedy of his premature death in the Feb 3, 1959 plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa.

Summary of Buddy Holly: Rave On

His career lasted just two years. His influence continues to shape the course of rock and roll. Buddy Holly's first hit, "That'll be the Day," exploded onto the airwaves in 1957. Less than two years later, he died in a plane crash that also took the lives of the Big Bopper and Richie Valens. But he had already helped shape the course of popular music for decades to come. Through a host of photos, rare footage, performance clips and exclusive interviews with those who knew him best--including his widow, brother and former bandmates from the Crickets--BIOGRAPHY follows Holly from his west Texas upbringings to the fatal flight. Find out how he agonized about the glasses that became his trademark and examine the strained relationship with his manager, Norman Petty, who some blame for indirectly causing Holly's death. Some of the biggest names in music, including Keith Richards, Waylon Jennings, Phil Everly and Graham Nash, help tell the story of one of rock and roll's first superstars.
