Song: Three Stars
Artists:Tommy Dee Carol Kay
Look up in the sky up toward the north
There are three little stars brightly shining forth
They're shining so bright from heaven above
Gee we're gonna miss you Everybody sends their love
According to Wikipedia, "Three Stars" is a song written by Tommy Dee in 1959, as a tribute to Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. Richardson (The Big Bopper), who died in a plane crash earlier that year. The song was recorded by Tommy Dee with Carol Kay. The lyrics suggested the three "stars" represent the three musicians that died in the crash.
Tommy performed the narration on the song, too. "On the left stand Ritchie Valens,a young boy just seventeen,just beginning to realize and explore his teenage dreams. Why did God call him oh so far away? Maybe to help some boy or girl who might have gone astray with his star shining in the dark on a lonely night to light the path And show the way. The way that's right. Gee we're gonna miss you, Everybody sends their love."
"On the right stands Buddy Holly with a shy grin upon his face. Funny how you always seem to notice that one little curl out of place. Not many people really knew Buddy or understood how he felt. But just a song from his lips would make the coldest hearts melt. Buddy's singing for God now. His chorus in the sky Buddy holly we'll always remember you with tears in our eyes. Gee we're gonna miss you. Everybody sends their love."
"In the middle stands a stout man. The big Bopper is his name. Now God has called him perhaps to new fortune and fame. He wore a big Stetson hat and sort of rambled up to the mike. How can we ever forget those wonderful words "You know, well I might".
