October 28, 1958 – Buddy Holly & The Crickets appear on Dick Clark’s American Bandstand on WFIL-TV in Philadelphia. Introducing Holly, Clark calls him, “…a man who creates songs, performs them, and has a great deal to do with the activities of our music world, and he’s still a very young man and a successful one at that.” For what would be his last television appearance, Buddy lip-syncs “Heartbeat” and “It’s So Easy.” Source: The Buddy Holly Center, 1801 Crickets Ave., Lubbock. @buddyholly @BuddyHollyCtr #ROCkabillyHop #buddyholly #TheCrickets @dickclarkprod #DickClark #AmericanBandstand #Heartbeat #ItsSoEasy
