Born out of a conversation with Roger Daltrey, who first conceived the idea of Words of Love back in 2017, Genesis Publications is honoured to publish the definitive celebration of musician, songwriter and rock and roll trailblazer, Buddy Holly.
'His persona, his songs, his guitar playing, and those awesome harmonies still resonate with me today.' - Brian May
'Five hours after we'd known each other he popped the question. Buddy comes in with his hands behind his back, sat down and said, 'Will you marry me?' I said, 'Well, do you want to get married now, or after dinner?' - María Elena Holly
'We got to be very close friends with Buddy Holly and the Crickets, and he wrote a couple of things for us. 'Love's Made a Fool of You' might have been one. We had just learned to dress a little sharper ourselves and they noticed it, so we took them to all the places.' - Don Everly
Since 2018, The Buddy Holly Foundation have been supporters of Teenage Cancer Trust and Teen Cancer America, and Genesis is honoured that every purchase of Words of Love will benefit these two charities.
