"The Crickets"
Buddy Holly 離開 Decca Records 唱片公司之後, 眼看 Jimmy Browen 同期面世的歌曲 "I'm Stickin' with You" 和 Buddy Knox 的歌曲 "Party Doll" 在流行樂壇有驕人的成績, 羨慕之餘, 更令他對這兩曲的監製 Norman Petty 起了敬意。
Buddy Holly 與隊友 Joe B. Mauldin 和 Jerry Allison 前去 New Mexico 新墨西哥州, 在小鎮 Clovis 找到 Norman Petty 的錄音室, 求助錄製一些範本歌曲; 得他首肯至完成錄音後, 更願意當上他們的經理, 並應承將聲帶送交 New York City 紐約市 Brunswick Records 賓士域唱片公司, 給他們印製唱片和發行。由於受到 Decca Records 唱片公司的限制, Buddy Holly 不能以個人名字印在唱片上, 因此, Norman Petty 給他們起了 "The Crickets" 的樂隊名字, 把舊有歌曲重新錄音, 細唱片1957年五月面世, A-面 "That'll be The Day" 與 B-面 "I'm Looking for Someone to Love"。
Norman Petty 為了唱片市場, 他把 Buddy Holly 個人演繹的歌曲分開, 有別於他和樂隊一起演繹的歌曲, 目的是令電台的唱片騎師, 分別以 Buddy Holly 或樂隊 "The Crickets" 的歌曲作推廣和介紹; 但是, 仍有一些電台音樂節目主持, 衹統稱他們為 "Buddy Holly & The Crickets"。"That'll be The Day" 面世至同年九月, 登上 "Billboard Top 100" 榜上第三位。
I'm Lookin' For Someone To Love - Buddy Holly
Stayin' at home waitin' for you
Just won't get it 'cause you say we're through
I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
Well if you're not here my baby I don't care
Because I'm lookin' for someone to love
Playin' the field all day long
Since I found out that I was wronged
Well I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
Well if you're not here my baby I don't care
'Cause I'm lookin' for someone to love
Caught myself thinkin' of you
You can't love me and another one too
Well I'm lookin' for someone to love
Yeh I'm lookin' for someone to love
Well if you're not here my baby I don't care
'Cause I'm lookin' for someone to love
Drunk man, street car
Foot slipped, there you are
Well I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
Well if you're not here my baby I don't care
'Cause I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
I'm lookin' for someone to love
