Yo ung dies who is dear to the gods...
Charles Hardin Holley "Buddy Holly" (1936-1959) Singer, guitarist. Emerging from country & Western, he was a key figure in the first wave of rock 'n' rollers in the late fifties, directly competing with Elvis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Jerry Lee Lewis, with whom he did not share either the sensual image or the "young savage" attitude they showcased in their public performances. He certainly did not possess the "physique du rôle" of a rocker, but he approached the genre with absolute confidence, becoming a central figure in the scene and influencing all, really all, future artists in the field. His hallmark was a blend of rockabilly, blues, country, and rock 'n' roll, all served up in a delightfully pop style and played by a lean and essential group consisting of just two guitars, bass, and drums, with very few brass and strings and arrangements that were Spartan and not at all redundant.
Cause of death: Plane crash. The aircraft he was traveling on, while on tour, crashed in Iowa. Along with the crew, Ritchie Valens, known for "La Bamba," and Big Bopper also perished. It was February 3, 1959, remembered as "The day the Music died."
He is buried in Lubbock, Texas, his hometown.
