Norman Petty, the manager, often manipulated song-writing credits and Allison, although credited with another recording to which he contributed little, helped to compose the music for some of the famous songs, notably " That'll Be The Day" and " Peggy Sue" (Allison later married Peggy Sue Gerron, the namesake of the latter song who, in her biography quotes Allison admitting he did not write Peggy Sue, "Buddy did"). His work on the Crickets' recordings gave the records much of their distinctiveness and has influenced subsequent generations of rock and roll drummers. On these, Allison played only tom-toms in keeping with the sound of the vocals. Later songs, released under Buddy Holly's own name, were softer in tone and filled with innocence and longing. His snappy cracks at the snare drum gave power to the songs released under the name " The Crickets". Over time, Allison's rhythm backup ranged from slapping hands-on-knees or hand-clapping the beat to a modal plainness of cymbal drumming. In their early days at the Lubbock Youth Center, Buddy Holly's vocals and guitar were backed only by Allison's drumming, allowing for some of Holly's best guitar work. It was also performed at the Norman Petty studio in Clovis, New Mexico, about six months before "Peggy Sue" was recorded. This very rare recording was named "Who's Gonna Be the Next One Honey".
