 This is funny. In this interview, C.W. shares his recollections of working with Buddy and Norman:


---------------------------------------------------------

Q: How did Buddy get to record ‘Little Baby’?
A: Well, I wrote the song. I had wanted to record it. And Buddy heard me playing it in the studio and he said, “I like that, can I record it,” and I said, “Sure.” And of course as all artists did in those days, he changed one line in it so he could be part of the writer royalties. Everybody did that back them.

Q: It’s funny because he supposedly thought Norman did that to him, but he did the same thing to you.
A: Yes. The thing was, I wrote the song; Norman got 50% of everything we did in that studio. So Norman got 50%, Buddy Holly got 25% and I got 25%.

Q: And Norman got the publishing as well….
A: Right. He made out like a bandit. People say, “Why did you put up with it?” Well, where would we have been without him? If he hadn’t taken us in and got us started, we wouldn’t have had any career at all.
