Background
Buddy Holly recorded the vocal, accompanying himself on guitar, on December 8, 1958 in apartment 4H of \"The Brevoort\", Fifth Avenue, Studio musicians recorded backup vocals and instrumentals on June 30, 1959 at Coral Records' Studio A in New York City.

Other Recordings
The Crickets would record their own cover single after Buddy Holly's death in 1959.
David Box a native of Lubbock, Texas and a near identical Buddy Holly soundalike would join the group as lead vocalist for this version of \"Peggy Sue Got Married\" (Side B) which was released in the United States as Coral 62238 in 1960.
The Crickets had decided to use the original arrangements they had used for \"Peggy Sue\" with the only change being David Box on lead vocal.
Buddy Holly's original, undubbed home recording was used as theme music in the film Peggy Sue Got Married.
