That'll Be The Day [#1 1957] "That'll Be the Day" had its genesis in a trip to the movies by Holly, Allison and Sonny Curtis in June 1956. The John Wayne film The Searchers was playing. Wayne's frequently-used, world-weary catchphrase, "That'll be the day." inspired the young musicians. Soon after, Holly along with Allison wrote a song centered on that phrase. They first recorded it on July 22, 1956, at the Decca Records studio in Nashville, Tennessee. Song Lyrics and song are property and copyright of their respective authors, artists and labels.
