8. It's All Over Now, Baby Blue 133
9. I'll Be Your Baby Tonight 121

Buddy Holly did contribute a LOT, and was by all accounts a great performer and the first real songwriter of any importance. The link to the article I posted earlier is good...I didn't know exactly how much Buddy Holly was an influence on Dylan, the Beatles, and everyone down the line, until I read it.
