Charles Hardin "Buddy" Holley was an American singer-songwriter and a pioneer of rock and roll. The change of spelling of "Holley" to "Holly" came about because of an error in a contract he was asked to sign, erroneously listing him as Buddy Holly. That spelling was then adopted for his professional career.
Although his success lasted only a year and a half before his death in an airplane crash on February 3, 1959. Holly is described by critics as "the single most influential creative force in early rock and roll." His works and innovations were copied by his contemporaries and later musicians, notably The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, and exerted a profound influence on popular music.

Thought I would let you know that my book Rick Nelson: Rock and Roll Pioneer by Sheree Homer was released last Thursday. It has 197 pages, which includes 47 photos (some never before seen). Available for sale at Amazon or Barnes and Noble. A must have for any fan of Rick's.
