Hard to believe! When you hear his songs they sound so fresh and as relevant today as they were then. Lyrically and musically! As everybody says "what great things could he have achieved had he led a long life". Buddy was a true great and one of the first to stick his neck out and grab artistic control of his own material from the producers.

An inspiration to all popular musicians to come!!

I wasn't aware of Buddy Holly until the late 70's when the Buddy Holly lives compilation album came out. Along with Punk and ska music this was one of my most listened to Lps at that time . A friend of mine bought another album "Rock on with Buddy" or something like that and it had Dearest on it . I had totally forgotten about that song untill last summer and my son and his friend were watching a film in the other room and that song was in the film. Thats now reminded me that I must look up the tab.

Words of love was one of the first songs I could strum along to.]]> News jase36 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/the-day-the-music-died-50-years-ago-today/#post-320452 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/the-day-the-music-died-50-years-ago-today/#post-320448 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 12:01:19 +0000 News JoeHempel https://guitarnoise.forum/news/the-day-the-music-died-50-years-ago-today/#post-320448 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/the-day-the-music-died-50-years-ago-today/#post-320442 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 10:03:59 +0000 News bloos66 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/the-day-the-music-died-50-years-ago-today/#post-320442 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/the-day-the-music-died-50-years-ago-today/#post-320428 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 06:34:47 +0000 rock and roll was in it's infancy. they were creating a whole new sound and beat.

Richardson was the oldest of them; he was 29. Buddy was 22, and Ritchie just 17. One can only wonder how much more great music they'd have made between them had they lived, although fortunately Buddy had been so prolific recording that the record company had new material to release for years to come.

Fifty years on, and still remembered by millions - and admired by people who weren't even born way back then. Who was it who said rock'n'roll wouldn't last?
