    song "Tribute To Buddy Holly" in 1961 has died today the news channels
    here are reporting.His Buddy Holly song was banned at the time on BBC
    radio (apparently for being too morbid.He charted several times later on
    as well as appearing in several top rated UK TV shows

    Hmmmm, sounds pretty forgettable to me. He was lucky it was banned!
    That must have sparked a lot of interest.
