Friday Night Cat Fight Podcast
“The Day The Music Died” Cat Fight – 2011
The Friday Night Cat Fight Podcast honors the 52 anniversary of “The Day The Music Died,” that terrible plane crash that took the lives of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper (J.P. Richardson).
There will be 2 separate Cat Fights this week.
The first is over a tune that was written by J.P. Richardson and originally recorded by him. His buddy George Jones covered it in 1959 and made it his first of MANY #1 Country singles.
The second Cat Fight is between Robert & Johnny and Ritchie Valens over the tune, “We Belong Together.” Robert & Johnny co-wrote the song and took it to #12 on the R&B charts, but Ritchie puts a heartfelt touch to the tune and makes it all his own.
Plus, the podcast also contains a little tribute to Buddy Holly, who’s loss is still very much felt today.
