I am familiar with Buddy Holly's beautiful original NFA. And the
Rolling Stones gave it their energetic treatment. Can anyone suggest

Of course, now I can't find it again. Not on YouTube. Maybe it was
IG. 

Looking for that, I stumbled across the wonderful Elle Cordova and
her partner Toni Lindgren doing the song:

That was nice.  NFA was the first single from a young Canadian group
called Rush back in 1973â€¦
