Remembering Buddy Holly! (1936-1959)






The late Buddy Holly was born September 7, 1936 in Lubbock, Texas. He is also buried there.

Buddy, along with Richie Valens ("La Bamba") and The Big Bopper, died in a plane crash in 1959.

Most of us learned of Buddy Holly's life because of Don McClean's "American Pie", a song that told the story of the day that Buddy Holly was killed.

He was only 22, a big recording star with huge hits: "That'll be the day", "Oh Boy", "True love ways", "Maybe baby" and "Heartbeat".
