"More Than I Can Say" is a song written by Sonny Curtis and Jerry Allison, both former members of Buddy Holly's band The Crickets and was recorded by their band in 1959 soon after Holly's death and was released in 1960. Their original version hit #42 on British Record Retailer Chart on 5/12/60. It has been notably performed by singers Bobby Vee and Leo Sayer. Bobby Vee Vee is an American pop music singer whose prominence in the music industry arose from tragedy. After Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper were killed in a plane crash in February 1959, a then-teenaged Vee was one of a group of local musicians recruited to play at the next leg of a scheduled concert in Fargo, North Dakota.In 1961, Vee (whose other hit singles include "Take Good Care of My Baby" and "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes") recorded "More Than I Can Say", and it reached #61 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was a bigger hit in the United Kingdom, where the song and its B-side, "Staying In", peaked at #4 on the UK Singles Chart. LEO SAYER Sayer is a British singer-songwriter who enjoyed the majority of his chart success in the 1970s and early 1980s. He had two singles reach #1 in the US, "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" and "When I Need You", both in 1977.He nearly had a third song achieve this feat, as his cover version of "More Than I Can Say" spent five weeks at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in December 1980 and January 1981, kept from the top spot by Lady by Kenny Rogers and (Just Like .... + Informações

The Crickets - When You Ask About Love edited-home version----((lead--sonny curtis)) Members Jerry Allison Joe B. Mauldin Sonny Curtis Former members Buddy Holly David Box Bobby Durham Glen Hardin Jerry Naylor Niki Sullivan Earl Sinks/Richards The Crickets are a rock & roll band from Lubbock, Texas, formed by singer/songwriter Buddy Holly in the 1950s. Their first hit record was "That'll Be the Day," released in 1957. Holly had been making demo recordings with local musician friends since 1954. Sonny Curtis, Jerry Allison, and Larry Welborn participated in these sessions. In 1956 Holly's band (then known informally as The Three Tunes) recorded an album's worth of rockabilly numbers in Nashville, Tennessee; the records were no more than mildly successful, and the band didn't hit pay dirt until 1957, when producer and recording engineer Norman Petty hosted Holly's sessions in Clovis, New Mexico. Holly had already recorded for another label under his own name, so to avoid legal problems he needed a new name for his group. As the Crickets recalled in John Goldrosen's book The Buddy Holly Story, they were inspired by other groups named after birds , and then they thought of insects, apparently unaware of the Bronx R&B vocal group The Crickets, who recorded for Jay-Dee.[1] It is worth noting that they almost chose the name "Beetles".[2] Years later, The Beatles chose their band name partly in homage to The Crickets.[3] The Crickets were lead guitarist and vocalist Buddy Holly .... + Informações

If "More Than I Can Say" sounds a bit like something Buddy Holly would have recorded, there is a reason. The song was composed by Jerry Allison and Sonny Curtis, two of the original Crickets, and had Buddy lived, he almost certainly would have recorded it himself one day. And it's not coincidental that Bobby Vee would record it early in 1961 since it was Bobby who took Buddy Holly's place at the concert to which Buddy was flying on the night he was tragically killed.. + Informações

Bobby Vee, Robert Thomas Velline, 30 April 1943, Fargo, North Dakota, USA. Vee's first exposure to the rock 'n' roll scene occurred in macabre circumstances when his group, the Shadows, deputized for Buddy Holly after the singer was killed in an air crash in February 1959. Soon after, Vee's group were discovered by famed producer Snuff Garrett and saw their independent record 'Suzie Baby' released on a major label, Liberty Records. Vee was subsequently groomed as a soloist, his college-boy looks and boy-next-door persona cleverly combined with a canon of teenage anthems provided by Brill Building songwriters. One of his first recordings was a cover of Adam Faith's 'What Do You Want?', which failed to emulate the British artist's UK chart-topping success. After charting in the US Top 10 with a revival of the Clovers' 1956 hit 'Devil Or Angel', Vee found transatlantic success via the infectious, if lyrically innocuous, 'Rubber Ball'. Between 1961 and 1962, he peaked with a series of infectious hits including 'More Than I Can Say', 'How Many Tears', 'Take Good Care Of My Baby' (a US number 1), 'Run To Him', 'Please Don't Ask About Barbara', and 'Sharing You'. The imaginatively titled 'The Night Has A Thousand Eyes' proved his most enduring song and reached the US Top 3. Like many American teen-orientated artists, Vee's appeal waned following the arrival of the Beatles and the beat group explosion. He did manage a couple of film appearances (Just For Fun and C'mon, Let's Live .... + Informações

In 1950, Rydell entered the amateur show of Paul Whiteman; his first-place gained him a regular part on the show. He stayed with the Whiteman show for three years, changing his name to Bobby Rydell, which was easier to pronounce. He then went to join several local bands in Philadelphia. As a teenage drummer, he played alongside Frankie Avalon in a band known as Rocco and the Saints. He was later signed to a recording contract by Cameo Records, and his debut hit "Kissin' Time," recorded in the summer of 1959, launched his musical career and made him a teen idol at the age of 17. Rydell was considered one of the teen idols alongside Frankie Avalon, Fabian, Johnny Tillotson, Jimmy Clanton and Bobby Vee. In May 1960 Rydell toured Australia with The Everly Brothers, Billy "Crash" Craddock, Marv Johnson, The Champs and The Crickets, recording an Australian version of "Kissin'Time" for the event ("they're kissin' in Sydney. Perth and Brisbane too...").. + Informações
