ON THIS DAY IN MUSIC HISTORY: October 28th 1958, Buddy Holly makes his last television appearance on American Bandstand, lip syncing to his last recorded song with the Crickets, Its So Easy. This was written by Buddy Holly and Norman Petty and recorded at Petty Studios in Clovis, New Mexico from June-August, 1958. Petty was Hollys producer and manager. In the last few months of his life, he moved to New York and began recording with more elaborate production techniques, including string sections. Holly was known for his innovative guitar riffs, but he didnt play lead on this one. A session guitarist named Tommy Allsup did. Allsup played in Hollys band on his last tour. This song was never released as a single. Linda Ronstadt had a hit with this in 1977. Her version went to #5 in the US. As hard as I tried I could not find that performance on American Bandstand but here is the single version of Its So Easy.....ENJOY!
