Thank you my friend TSgt Joe C. for sharing the early rock and roll music video of Buddy Holly and the Crickets performing Everyday in honor of the fact that September 7 is the anniversary of his birth.
The Crickets were lead guitarist and vocalist Buddy Holly, drummer Jerry Allison, bassist Joe B. Mauldin, and rhythm guitarist Niki Sullivan.

Everyday written by Charles Hardin [AKA Buddy Holly] and Norman Petty
Lyrics
"[Chorus 1]
Everyday it's a-getting closer
Going faster than a rollercoaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey

[Verse]
Everyday it's a-getting faster
Everyone said, "Go ahead and ask her"
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey

[Chorus 2]
Everyday seems a little longer
Every way love's a little stronger
Come what may
Do you ever long for true love from me

[Chorus 1]
Everyday it's a-getting closer
Going faster than a rollercoaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey

[Chorus 2]
Everyday seems a little longer
Every way love's a little stronger
Come what may
Do you ever long for true love from me

[Chorus 1]
Everyday it's a-getting closer
Going faster than a rollercoaster
Love like yours will surely come my way
A-hey, a-hey-hey

[Outro]
Love like yours will surely come my way"


Background on this song
"This upbeat song finds Holly in a hopeful mien, sure that he will soon land the girl of his dreams. He recorded the song in May 1957 with The Crickets at Norman Petty Studios in Clovis, New Mexico.
This is listed as being written by Charles Hardin and Norman Petty. Charles Hardin is actually Buddy Holly: his real name was Charles Hardin Holley. >>
Holly's version of this song never charted, but two others did. In 1972, John Denver took it to #81 US. Then in 1985, James Taylor made #61 with his cover.
This was used in the movies Big Fish and Stand By Me as well as a Season 4 episode of the TV show Lost."
