Curtis was not in the band at the time, as he was completing military service. David Box, a native of Lubbock, Texas, who sang in a manner similar to Holly, joined the group as lead vocalist for their 1960 single "Dont Cha Know"/" Peggy Sue Got Married", released as Coral 62238 after the departure of Sinks.

In the meantime, Mauldin, Allison, and Sonny Curtis (a friend and collaborator of Holly's) began recording new songs as the Crickets, with vocals by Earl Sinks.

Holly now recorded under his own name with the studio musicians Tommy Allsup and Carl Bunch. Allison and Mauldin chose not to move and returned to Lubbock. In 1958, Holly broke with producer Petty and moved to New York to be more involved with the publishing and recording businesses. Some disc jockeys referred to the band as "Buddy Holly and the Crickets", but record labels never used this wording until after Holly's death. Petty reasoned correctly that disc jockeys might be reluctant to program a single artist too heavily but would play records by two seemingly different groups. The solo vocals were released as being performed by Buddy Holly, and the songs with dubbed backing vocals were issued as being sung by the Crickets. In 1957 Norman Petty arranged for the Crickets' recordings to be marketed under two separate names.

As the Crickets recalled in John Goldrosen's book Buddy Holly – His Life and Music, they were inspired by other groups named after birds. Holly had already recorded for another label under his own name, so to avoid legal problems he needed a new name for his group. The records were not more than mildly successful, and the band did not achieve financial success until 1957, when the producer and recording engineer Norman Petty recorded Holly's sessions in Clovis, New Mexico. In 1956 Holly's band, then known informally as Buddy and the Two Tones (Holly with Sonny Curtis and Don Guess posthumous releases refer to the Three Tunes), recorded an album's worth of rockabilly numbers in Nashville, Tennessee, for Decca.
