Page "Buddy Holly" Paragraph 17

The ambitious Holly became increasingly interested in the New York music / recording / publishing scene, while his band mates wanted to go back home to Lubbock.

As a result, the group split up in late 1958.

The Hollys settled in Apartment 4H of the Brevoort Apartments located at 11 Fifth Avenue in Greenwich Village.

Here he recorded the series of acoustic songs, including " Crying, Waiting, Hoping " and " What to Do ," known as the " Apartment Tapes ," which were released after his death.
