Tuesday, February 3, 1959. : 1950s rock and roll musician Buddy Holly was killed in an aeroplane crash


Buddy Holly was born Charles Hardin Holley on 7 September, 1936, in Lubbock, Texas. Growing up in a musically-minded family, he played the violin, piano and guitar, and debuted in country and western music. He moved into the arena of rock 'n' roll, and became one of the first to use overdubbing and double-tracking during production of his music. He is best known for the songs "That'll Be The Day" and "Peggy Sue."

Following a performance at Clear Lake, Iowa on 2 February 1959, Buddy Holly was travelling by aeroplane with fellow rock 'n' roll musicians Ritchie Valens and J P "The Big Bopper" Richardson. The performers and their road crew drew straws to decide who would fly in the aeroplane and who would ride in the unheated tour bus. The four-passenger Beechcraft Bonanza took off with Holly, Valens and Richardson in a severe snow storm and crashed into a corn field several minutes later, at 1.05am on 3 February 1959. Holly's death was recorded as 'the day the music died' in Don McLean's classic 'American Pie’.
