Buddy Holly
The heartfelt and catchy songwriting and boyish charm of Buddy Holly catapulted him to stardom and subsequently helped define rock-and-roll music. Holly, both alone and with his band the Crickets, wrote and performed some of popular music’s most memorable songs. Holly’s remarkable career was cut short when he died in a plane crash at the age of 22.
