dct:abstract

%22True Love Ways%22 is a song co-written by Buddy Holly and Norman Petty and recorded with the Dick Jacobs Orchestra in October 1958, four months before the singer's death. Some argue that this song is the most played %22first song%22 at weddings. It was first released on the posthumous The Buddy Holly Story, Vol. 2 (Coral 57326/757326, March 1960). The song became a 1960 hit in Britain, reaching #25 on the pop singles chart.In the extended version of the song, listeners can hear Holly preparing to sing. The audio starts with Norman Petty's wife (who also played on Buddy Holly's song %22Everyday%22) saying %22Yeah, we're rolling.%22 A piano player and a tenor saxophone player start to play some notes, and Holly mutters %22Okay,%22 and clears his throat. The producer yells %22Quiet, boys!%22 to everyone else in the room, and at the very end of the talkback, the producer says %22Pitch, Ernie%22 to signal the piano player to give Holly his starting note, a B-flat. Along with %22It Doesn't Matter Anymore%22 and %22Raining in My Heart%22, this song was recorded on what would be his last recording session before his death on February 3, 1959.The session took place at the Pythian Temple on October 21, 1958. The personnel: Al Caiola on guitar, Sanford Block on bass, Ernie Hayes on piano, Doris Johnson on harp, Abraham Richman on sax, Clifford Leeman on drums, Sylvan Shulman, Leo Kruczek, Leonard Posner, Irving Spice, Ray Free, Herbert Bourne, Julius Held and Paul Winter on violins, David Schwartz and Howard Kay on violas, Maurice Brown and Maurice Bialkin on cellos. Buddy Holly wrote %22True Love Ways%22 for his wife, Maria Elena Holly, as a wedding gift. On April 29, 2011, she unveiled the never before seen %22True Love Ways%22 photo of their wedding kiss, now displayed at P.J. Clarke's above Table 53, the very table where they became engaged while on their first date, on June 20, 1958.
