Buddy Holly and the Crickets made some of the greatest rock & roll records of all time. It's a remarkable fact that such classics as 'That'll Be The Day' 'Peggy Sue' 'Oh Boy' 'Maybe Baby' 'Rave On' and 'Think It Over' were all recorded in a little less than twelve months during 1957-1958.... On January 27 1959 Buddy began a 3-week tour through the frozen midwest with newly hired Crickets Carl Bunch and Tommy Allsup. He was killed along with Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper on February 3 1959 in a plane crash near Clear Lake Iowa travelling to the twelfth date of that... tour. He was just 22 years old. In his 1971 song 'American Pie' Don Mclean referred to Holly's death as 'The Day The Music Died'. Such a short life. Such a giant legacy. Leaving his own great recordings and inspiring British groups of the Sixties like the Beatles the Stones and the Hollies Buddy Holly is one of the greatest men of rock & roll. [show more]
