“Buddy became a fan of the Everlys and managed somehow to contact Don. He was aware that Don was deriving some of his arrangements from Bo Diddley…and offered to write a song called ‘Not Fade Away’ for the Everlys, utilizing Bo Diddley’s distinctive jungle beat. Beautiful singers but not the shrewdest judges of material, Don and Phil Everly turned down ‘Not Fade Away’” (Amburn, Buddy Holly).
