Peggy Sue - Buddy Holly

If you have no idea how Buddy Holly shaped the music you listen to, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will help you out:

Buddy Holly played rock and roll for only two short years, but the wealth of material he recorded in that time made a major and lasting impact on popular music. Holly was an innovator who wrote his own material and was among the first to exploit such advanced studio techniques as double-tracking. He pioneered and popularized the now-standard rock-band lineup of two guitars, bass and drums.

Today would are the 75th birthday of the rock and roll pioneer who died at twenty two within the 1959 plane crash that conjointly killed Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson. At 11:30 a.m. outside the Capitol Records building, Holly's widow Maria Elena Holly will accept his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Musicians Phil Everly and Peter Asher and actor Gary Busey, who starred within the 1978 film "The Buddy Holly Story," are scheduled to talk. Later tonight, a concert at The Music Box with Asher, Stevie Nicks, Lyle Lovett, Graham Nash and others performing are filmed for a PBS special airing in December. Asher produced hear Me: Buddy Holly, an album released Tuesday of favorite Buddy Holly songs performed by Nicks, Ringo Starr, Brian Wilson, Linda Ronstadt, Jeff Lynne, Jackson Browne, Chris Isaak, Natalie Merchant, Zooey Deschanel and others. Randy Lewis within the L.A. Times discusses the album.

The boy called “Buddy” conjointly grew up to have a voice, one the U.K. paper the Telegraph wrote that few musicians can ever truly imitate thanks to the “curious lustre of its tone, its erratic swings from dark to light-weight, from exuberant snarl to tender sigh ... the ‘Holly hiccough’ which could fracture even the word ‘well’ into eight syllables.”

Holly’s voice, his instrumentation, and the tremendous influence he wielded in a just 18-month-long career will perpetually leave fans asking what could are.
