Buddy Holly wrote one of the most important chapters in the history of rock music and created a legend. Born in Texas, his early interest was in country and western music, and his first releases were with The Crickets. Thatll Be the Day went to number one in 1957 and a string of million-selling hits followed including True Loves Ways. His death in a plane crash in 1959 cut short his career but his influence remains strong.
