The movie with Gary Busey was very well done. Busey did all of the singing himself.
IIRC he was omitted for san Oscar.
This was before he blew his mind out with coke.
I also recommend the Valens portrayal by Lou Diamond Phillips. The portray that Richie had visions of a pane crash. Don’t know how try that part is.
I love auto text. Busey was NOMINATED FOR AN oscar.
Considering they changed the Crickets' names and completely omitted Norman Petty and Clovis, New Mexico, I don't think so.
