Peggy Sue – Buddy Holly And His Crickets
“Peggy Sue” is one of Buddy Holly And His Crickets’ most well known songs. What’s less known is that it was almost named “Cindy Lou,” which is the name of Buddy Holly’s niece. However, it was renamed to “Peggy Sue,” who is band member drummer Jerry Allison’s then-girlfriend and eventual wife. The song was written while they were temporarily not together.

Walk Away Renee – The Left Banke
“Walk Away Renee” was written by Michael Brown for the band The Left Banke in 1966. It refers to Renee Fladen-Kamm, who at the time was the band’s bassist’s girlfriend. Brown became interested in her as well, and penned the song about her. He said: “I was just sort of mythologically in love, if you know what I mean, without having evidence in fact or in deed … But I was as close as anybody could be to the real thing.”
