Who is Leo Giordarno and why does he have a record that collectors seek? What makes his record special is that backing him up, singing falsetto, are Buddy Holly and Phil Everly of the Everly Brothers. The song, “Stay Close To Me,” was not only written by Buddy Holly but also one of his few compositions that he never recorded himself. Released on Brunswick Records in 1959, a copy is worth up to $600.00 today.
