year 1952 they were labeled as buddy and Jack and they performed as a trio early struggles and small triumphs Holly made the decision to pursue a career in music on a full-time basis not long after he graduated from Leck High School in the year 1955 his experience of seeing Elvis Presley per form live in lck whose show was booked by papy Dave Stone of kdav proved to be an additional source of inspiration for him at the Cotton Club in April Holly served as the opening act for Elvis Presley at the fair Park Coliseum in February he also performed at the Coliseum once more in June this year at that point in time Holly had already recruited Larry wellborne on standup base and Allison on drums into his band this was owing to the fact that his style had moved from country and Western to rock

typed Holly's surname incorrectly as Holly in the contract he became known as Buddy Holly from that point forward rather than through his real name Holly following a brief period of time spent performing with a bluegrass band Buddy started experimenting with his own unique sound due to the fact that his early recordings did not generate a great deal of noise but he found himself wishing for a break this breakthrough occurred when a talent scout from Deca records made him an offer of a contract but the path to this point was anything but without difficulty the decision to not renew his contract was made by Deca following a string of recording sessions that produced results that were not particularly noteworthy buddy ventured back to Leck where he established a new ban called The Crickets he was dissatisfied but not defeated by the situation it was because of this group that buddy was able to finally find success this distinctive combination of rock and roll and country twang
