Oh, Boy! — Sonny West (1957)

"Oh, Boy!" was co-written and originally recorded by Sonny West in February of 1957 with the title "All My Love". Only a few acetates were made - but, as fate would have it, one fell into the hands of Buddy Holly. Holly and the Crickets would record their version only a few months later and turn it into one of the biggest hits of the early rock 'n roll era.

Sonny West also wrote another Buddy Holly classic, "Rave On".
