Question about the Bach Sonata lesson

[funnyval]

I found an earlier example of V of V moving to IV referenced in the book "The Foundations of Rock" by Walter Everett. The song is titled More Than I Can Say. The book references Bobby Vee's 1961 version, but the song was originally written by members of the Crickets in 1959 after Buddy Holly's death.

The Crickets version made it to #42 on the British charts in 1960. Bobby Vee's version reached #61 on Billboard and as high as #4 on the UK singles chart in 1961.

The verse chords in the Crickets key of D are basically:

| D _ _ _ | _ _ _ _ | Bm _ _ _ | _ _ _ _ |

| F#m _ _ _ | E7 _ G _ | D _ G _ | D _ _ _ |

So this usage precedes the Beatles by several years.
