Buddy Holly

THE ROCK AND ROLL STAR NEXT DOOR
Buddy Holly was one of the key innovators of rock and roll’s early years, and a
crucial link between the music’s 1950s roots and the more electric direction
that it would take in the Beatles era. In his brief but incredibly productive career,
the Texas-bred singer/songwriter/guitarist/producer created a remarkable body of
work that permanently altered the face of contemporary music, leaving behind
the tantalizing potential of what else he might have achieved if he had not
died in at the age of twenty-two.
