Buddy Holly

Buddy Holly was an American musician and singer-song writer. He was one of the lead figures to pioneer the music of rock n roll in the 50s. Buddy grew up in Texas during the Great Depression, and was inspired by his musically inclined family to pursue a career in the music industry. In 1950, Buddy formed the famed group, “The Crickets”. By 1957 the group the groups song “That’ll Be the Day” had rose to the top 3 on Billboards top 100 chart. Tragically though, as Buddy’s fame began to grow, he was soon cut short of it, and sadly ending up dying in a plane crash on February 3,1959, along side Richie Valens and “The Big Bopper” Richardson; all three sadly perished that day. Even with his sudden death, Buddy Holly left behind a great legacy that would be treasured for years to come.
