Winter Dance Party 1959 - No. 2

Our second release on commemoration of the tragic plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper on February 3, 1959.

The second part of the 'Winter Dance Party' tour will be covered for the first time with this CD album.

The promoters let the tour continue seamlessly! Dion & The Belmonts, Frankie Sardo and the Crickets (Buddy Hollys Band) from the original tour line-up stayed on board.

Replacement for the casualties was quickly found: Frankie Avalon, Jimmy Clanton, Fabian, Robert Velline and his Shadows, and Bill Parsons filled the gaps.

The new tour members were successful young teen idols, hardly the typical heavy rock 'n' rollers.

Two more songs dedicated to Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper complete this CD.
