The day the music died: 50 years ago today, Buddy Holly dies at 22
Posted by Stephen Hammill on Tue, Feb 3, 2009 at 6:50 PM
On Feb. 3, 1959, a four-seat airplane carrying Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper (J.P. Richardson) crashed into a cornfield eight miles north of Clear Lake, Iowa.
The term "rock 'n' roll" had only come into widespread use about three years before.
The seeds planted between 1958-1964, between Elvis and the Beatles, go often unheralded in rock history. Motown got its start; it was Roy Orbison's peak -- same for the Beach Boys and the Four Seasons, not to mention Phil Spector, Stax and Muscle Shoals, the Shirelles, Del Shannon and James Brown.
Here are some Buddy Holly tunes for your listening enjoyment, below the jump:

It is real that we really do not know what we’ve acquired right until we shed it, but it is also real that we do not know what we’ve been missing before it arrives. Do you assume so? Posed By Jordan Retro 8
