you are not the only one John .However this cover IS included on Wayne's cover versions page:
http://www.lightfoot.ca/covartst.htm
I did well know that he paid ample tribute to my other musical hero , whose death enabled him to break into show business. here is a nice video of him with a group that looks nothing like the original Crickets
Bobby Vee & The Crickets - Buddy Holly Medley
and he recorded a full Holly tribute album
his cover of Buddy's True Love Ways is fantastic one comment from yesterday on a YouTube video page for it says it all really:-
"RIP Robert Thomas Velline. You were a pop music icon from the "60's. A great singer who got his start after the February 3rd 1959 Buddy Holly tragedy. Bobby Vee also had the best Buddy Holly hic-up that I have ever heard. Thanks for all those great songs Bobby. RockinRonny."
I very well remember greatly enjoying Bobby's Rubber Ball whilst an undergraduate in London in 1961
Bobby had pretty well perfected that holly hiccup
listen to it on this "audio/video"
also recommended a 50 "video" playlist
