The rhythmic pattern of `` Not Fade Away '' is a variant of the legendary Bo Diddley beat, with the second stress occurring on the second rather than third beat of the first measure, which was an update of the `` hambone '' rhythm, or patted juba from Western Africa. Jerry Allison, the drummer for the Crickets, pounded out the beat on a cardboard box. Allison, Holly 's best friend, wrote some of the lyrics, though his name never appeared in the songwriting credits. Joe Mauldin played the double bass on this recording. It is likely that the backing vocalists were Holly, Allison, and Niki Sullivan, but this is not known for certain. `` Not Fade Away '' was originally released as the B - side of the hit single `` Oh, Boy ! '' and was included on the album The `` Chirping '' Crickets ( 1958 ). Along with the familiar take 2 of `` Not Fade Away '', there exists a take 1, the first verse of which is missing ; it has been released with the first part of take 1 spliced into it. Contrary to the depiction in the film The Buddy Holly Story ( 1978 ), `` Not Fade Away '' was not the last song Holly performed in his final concert, in Clear Lake, Iowa, on February 2, 1959, just before his death in a plane crash. At a symposium held in Clear Lake in observance of the 50th anniversary of his death, in a panel discussion with Tommy Allsup, Carl Bunch, and Bob Hale ( the master of ceremonies at Holly 's final show ), all agreed that the final song of the night was Chuck Berry 's `` Brown Eyed Handsome Man '', performed by all of the acts on the bill. In 2004, this song was ranked number 107 on Rolling Stone 's list of `` The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time ''. The Crickets ' recording never charted as a single.
