"Maybe Baby" was originally recorded by The Crickets (with Buddy Holly) in 1957.[1] It was written by Norman Petty and Buddy Holly and reached 17th in the US charts but 4th in the UK charts (where Holly toured that year) - see Buddy Holly discography. The rather simple lyrics are augmented by a characteristic twangy percussive accompaniment (rockabilly), especially effective in the 8-bar instrumental introduction, and the short conclusion.
