One of several songs recorded during Buddy Holly’s last
time in the recording studio prior to going on the road with
the Winter Dance Party the next day. The single was not
released until 1969, a decade after his tragic death in a
plane crash on February 3, 1959.

On January 5, 1958, Coral Records released what would prove to be
Buddy Holly‘s last record before his death in a plane crash on February
3, 1959. "It Doesn’t Matter Anymore", which was one of the few songs
that Buddy recorded that he didn’t write himself. It was penned by Paul
Anka. The pop ballad reached #13 as a posthumous hit on the Billboard
Hot 100 charts in early 1959. The single was backed with “Raining In My
Heart”.

A Christmas Eve taping session with Tommy James And The
Shondells produced the song "I Think We’re Alone Now",
which went on to be the group’s forth number- one song,
selling over a million copies.

The Big Hurt" (1959) is notable for it’s phasing effects, the first record
to feature the technique which made the song sound like a distant
shortwave broadcast. It was recorded at the Gold Star Studios in
Los Angeles. WKBW DJ Dick Biondi would introduce the single
as..”here’s Toni Fisher’s weird one”. The song went to No. 3 on 
the Billboard Hot 100.

Record executive Berry Gordy, Jr. is the founder of the Motown record 
label and produced records for such artists as The Supremes and Stevie
Wonder. Before fame, Gordy dropped out of high school and trained to be 
a professional boxer. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame  
in 1988.
