Die Beatles waren glühende Verehrer von Buddy Holly und den Crickets. Ohne die Crickets hätte es nach ihrer Aussage keine Beatles gegeben. Ohne Buddy Holly hätte es John Lennon nie gewagt, mit Brille aufzutreten. Der erste Song überhaupt, den die Beatles aufnahmen (damals noch als "The Quarrymen"), war THAT'LL BE THE DAY. Was wundert es also, dass sie 1963 einen Brief an die Crickets schrieben.
