Even a 'cleaned up' Sal Mineo exuded a kind of teen Latino sleaze / suggestiveness (just the right side of 'polite') & he had that great USA studios 'punchy' sound behind him...his vocals dripping with echo. Buddy's "That'll Be The Day" is just one of the brilliant all time great recordings. Larry Page did not stand a chance.
