fresh off the release of their debut album. The band consisted of Niki
Sullivan (rhythm guitar), Joe Mauldin (stand-up bass), Jerry Allison
(drums), and Buddy (lead guitar and vocals). The foursome played
“That’ll be the Day,” the first single off their album. The result was
pure gold: the track would reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 soon
after their performance on the show.
