Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper, and Richie Valens were killed in a plane crash. Don McLean immortalized the event in his song American Pie.

Very sad day for music. Remember their music very well. Know for sure saw Buddy Holly on American Bandstand, pretty sure saw the others on the show as well.

Original Buddy holly 59's
I still listen to Buddy Holly all the time on my way to and from work. He had a lot of hits, and they still hold up well after all these years. The sound is still very sharp on those recordings on the greatest hits CD I have.

Buddy Holly was great. Lucky to have seen "Buddy" when it came to San Diego earlier this year. Lots of nostalgia!
