Uber rare Buddy Holly Hand Signed Maybe Baby 10 Inch Single complete with a market leading unconditional 90 day money back guarantee and lifetime COA. Worldwide shipping is available.
Hand signed Buddy Holly 78rpm “Maybe Baby,” with three strong clear signatures to the front cover in blue ink. Hand signed by Buddy Holly, Joe B. Mauldin and Jerry Allison. “Maybe Baby” was originally recorded by The Crickets (with Buddy Holly) in 1957 and released in 1958.
It was written by Norman Petty and Buddy Holly and reached 17th in the US charts but 4th in the UK charts (where Holly toured that year – see our separate 1958 UK tour souvenir programme).
The rather simple lyrics are augmented by a characteristic twangy percussive accompaniment (rockabilly), especially effective in the 8-bar instrumental introduction, and the short conclusion.
His works and innovations inspired and influenced contemporary and later musicians, notably The Beatles, Elvis Costello, The Rolling Stones, Don McLean, Bob Dylan, and Eric Clapton, and exerted a profound influence on popular music. Holly was among the first group of inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked Holly #13 among “The 100 Greatest Artists of All Time”.
