Joe Ely & The Crickets - Not Fade Away (1988 PBS) PLUS 1989 Interview

Joe Ely & The Crickets – Not Fade Away (1988 PBS “Buddy Holly & The Crickets – A Tribute”) PLUS 1989 Crickets Interview. From my Sunday Night Hall of Fame Show tapes and my VHS Buddy Holly collection: This video begins with a portion of my May 27, 1989 interview of The Crickets, when they appeared at the “Mayfair Festival” in Allentown, PA. At that time Cricket members included Buddy Holly’s original drummer Jerry Ivan Allison, AKA: “J.I.”, and bass player Joe B. Mauldin. Gordon Payne was the lead singer/guitarist and by 1989 had been a member of The Crickets for approximately (5) years. During the interview I asked the group about a PBS special: “Buddy Holly and The Crickets – A Tribute” which had aired on most PBS stations during 1988. Drummer Allison talked about the group playing the Austin, TX area and meeting the producer of “Austin City Limits”, which led to the show being produced for PBS. After the brief interview segment, it’s a performance from the PBS special: Legendary Texas-rocker Joe Ely with one of the greatest versions of “Not Fade Away”…EVER! 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 Dee. After Don McLean’s dedication of “American Pie” to Buddy, I started calling the show “The Day the Music Died”. My tribute shows continued throughout my broadcast radio career in the Lehigh Valley, PA and Northwest New Jersey area. The last time my five-hour special aired was February 3, 1999 on WODE – Oldies 99.9. To Recap: This video features a small portion of my 1989 interview with The Crickets and a portion of the 1988 PBS special: “Buddy Holly and The Crickets – A Tribute”. The video and audio track have been restored from a VHS tape that I recorded off the air in 1988 as broadcast by WLVT-TV, PBS Channel 39 of the Lehigh Valley, PA. The Sunday Night Hall of Fame Show was broadcast from 1980 to 1992 on WAEB - AM 790 and WKAP – AM 1320. My show returned between 1999 and August 2001 on WODE “ Oldies 99.9”. All stations were located in the Allentown – Bethlehem – Easton, PA area, AKA: The Lehigh Valley.
