Buddy Holly

Buddy Holly was a singer, songwriter, and guitarist from Lubbock, Texas, who played a central role in shaping early rock and roll in the mid to late 1950s. He drew on rhythm and blues, rockabilly, and country, pushing them together with upbeat tempos, a distinctive vocal style, and a ringing guitar sound built around major chords. His career was cut short when he died in a plane crash on February 3, 1959, at age 22.
