"Not Fade Away" is a song credited to Buddy Holly (originally under his first and middle names, Charles Hardin) and Norman Petty (although Petty's co-writing credit is most likely a formality). The song's rhythm pattern is one of the classic examples of the Bo Diddley beat, which itself was an update of the so- called "hambone" rhythm, or "patted juba" from Western Africa. Dave Berry's version of "Not Fade Away" featured on his self-titled 1964 album.
