Brian Setzer - Buddy Holly Medley (1988 PBS) “Rock Around With Ollie Vee“ & “Oh Boy“

Brian Setzer – Buddy Holly Tribute Medley “Rock Around With Ollie Vee“ & “Oh Boy“ (1988 PBS). From my Sunday Night Hall of Fame Show tapes and my VHS Buddy Holly collection: This video features a performance by Brian Setzer of The Stray Cats that was taped for the 1988 PBS special: “Buddy Holly and The Crickets – A Tribute” As always, Setzer was in fine form on this show as he sings a couple of Buddy Holly songs: “Rock Around With Ollie Vee” and “Oh Boy”. ‘Nuff Said!. Buddy Holly and the Crickets became one of my favorites in 1957 when I first heard “That’ll Be The Day” on my radio. I started writing, producing and hosting tributes to Buddy, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper as early as 1969 on WEEX - AM 1230 in Easton, Pa. That was the tenth anniversary of the plane crash and coincided with the Coral album release “Buddy Holly - Giant”. At first I called the special tribute show “Three Star Special”, as influenced by a 1959 hit song “The Three Stars” by Tommy
