Buddy Holly And The Crickets played the Apollo Theatre in Harlem and were booed by the mostly Black crowd who were expecting to see an R&B group that also used the name 'The Crickets.' By the end of the night however, the audience would be cheering for the Lubbock, Texas band. Also on the bill that night were Roy Hamilton, Shep And The Limelites, and Clarence "Frogman" Henry.
