1260 - Buddy Holly Heartbeat 1958

"Heartbeat" is a rockabilly song written by Bob Montgomery and Norman Petty and recorded originally by Buddy Holly in 1958. The last Buddy Holly single to be released during his lifetime. The guitar solo is superb, creating a sweeping, Hawaiian-like effect with bent sustained notes. There's similar guitar work in the background of the bridge, playing descending patterns in a Latin-like style, as if mimicking the swoon of Holly's emotions as he's falling in love.
