1957 - Buddy Holly and the Crickets released 'That'll Be The Day' which became a US No. 3 hit. The song had its genesis in a trip to the movies by Holly, Allison and Sonny Curtis in June 1956. The John Wayne film The Searchers was playing. Wayne's frequently used, world-weary catchphrase, “That'll be the day" was the Inspiration behind the song.

Linda Ronstadt also sang "That'll Be The Day" but obviously in a much colder studio.
