Mike Berry & The Outlaws' "Tribute To Buddy Holly" from 1961 (an
imaginative production by the legendary Joe Meek) is a long time fave
of mine. It was rumored that the song was banned by the BBC for being
too 'morbid'. In the US it was released on Coral in Nov 1962.
Canadians Chad Allan and the Reflections, a band that would later
become the Guess Who, recorded "Tribute to Buddy Holly" as their debut
single in 1962 after hearing Berry's version.
