Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Not Fade Away - Mono Version. By Songfacts®.

This is a cover of a song written and recorded by Buddy Holly in 1957. Holly released it with his group, The Crickets, as the B-side of their single, "Oh Boy."

This features the "Bo Diddley Beat" - dun, da-dun, da-dun, da-dun, dun. The Stones toured with Diddley in England before recording this.

Charlie Watts: "We did it with a Bo Diddley beat, which at the time was very avant-garde for a white band to be playing Bo Diddley's stuff. It was a very popular rhythm for us in clubs; looking at it from the drumming point of view. So we did it in this slightly different way than Buddy Holly did it."
