October 27, 1957 – The Crickets started a three-week run at No.1 on the UK singles chart with “That’ll Be The Day.” It was also a No.3 hit in the US where it went on to sell over a million. The song was inspired by a trip to the movies by Holly, Jerry Allison and Sonny Curtis in June 1956. The John Wayne film The Searchers was playing and Wayne’s frequently-used, world-weary catchphrase, “That’ll Be The Day” inspired the young musicians. #ROCkabillyHop #BuddyHolly @buddyholly @BuddyHollyCtr #ThatllBeTheDay #TheCrickets
