Words of Love is Daphne's passionate tribute to the Buddy Holly legacy, the 50th anniversary of a fatal plane crash of February 3, 1959. Paul McCartney and John Lennon took their name, The Beatles, as an homage to Buddy?s group, The Crickets, and they claim that at least 40 of their songs were modeled after Buddy Holly.
