Remember the team of DOYLE HOLLY, Don Rich Tom Brumley, Willie Cantu - the Buckaroos - back when they won all the awards for Best Band? Remember the "Queen of the Silver Dollar" - "Streets of Laredo"? During the 60's DOYLE played bass, sang his solo numbers, harmonized and generally entertained the crowds of fans who came to see Buck Owens and his Buckaroos, many of them DOYLE HOLLY's own special fans & friends! His "Ugly Finder" and "Vanish" jokes were classics - and EVERY BODY remembers his "Streets of Laredo"!

During that time, they performed just about everywhere in the US and Canada, as well as Europe, including Carnegie Hall in New York City, Las Vegas & Reno, the White House during President Johnson's administration, and the Palladium in London, breaking a lot of new ground for country music. They made countless TV appearances including being regulars on the HEE HAW show.

DOYLE recorded his own singles, among them "Cinderella", "Woman Truck Drivin' Fool", "Gatherin' Dust" and "I'll Be Alright Tomorrow". He was featured on the Buckaroo and Buck Owens' albums, and the syndicated Buck Owens Ranch Show. He received the Bass Player of the Year award from the Academy of Country and Western Music in 1970.

In 1971 DOYLE left the Buckaroos to go out on his own, something he had always wanted to do. He moved to Nashville, forming his own band, called the Vanishing Breed. Later he changed to the Doyle Holly Show. Doyle had several hit singles - his biggest being the "Queen of the Silver Dollar" and "Lila", plus a giant jukebox hit called "Richard & the Cadillac Kings" for which he received an ASCAP award. Other chart busters "Lies" and "Too Much Of Me" added to Doyle's continued recording success.

His two albums - "DOYLE HOLLY" and "JUST ANOTHER COWBOY SONG" were top twenty. Entertainer Andy Williams wrote liner notes for the album about Doyle stating that he "EXEMPLIFIED THE GREATEST OF COUNTRY MUSIC THROUGH THE HONESTY OF HIS INTERPRETATION AND SELECTION OF MATERIAL" ...called him an "EXCEPTIONAL ARTIST".

During the 70's and early 80's the "Doyle Holly Show" played many clubs throughout the United States and Canada. The "Doyle Holly Show" also had been an opening act for such artists as Conway Twitty, The Whites, John Schneider, Stella Parton, Gene Watson, Randy Travis.

Thanks to Doyle's wonderful Fan Club (its Presidents and all its members), he was honored with a Block in the Walkway of Stars at the Hall of Fame in Nashville. The dedication ceremony took place during the 1980 Fan Fair. In the late '80's Doyle made a few solo appearances including a month long tour in the Scandinavian countries. Also during that time he opened a music store and actively ran it for several years.

In August of '99 an historical event occurred in Country Music, Buck Owens brought back together his original Buckaroo Band to help him celebrate his 70th Birthday. They picked and grinned at Buck's Crystal Palace in Bakersfield. They sounded great - just like old times - with the exception that the late Don Rich was missed, all had a wonderful reunion.

TODAY in the new century Doyle has gone back into the studio to cut a CD. He has brought with him Tom Brumley and Willie Cantu. They are going "Bluegrass" on this one!
