Buddy Holly, born Charles Hardin Holley, was an influential American musician and singer-songwriter from Lubbock, TX who rose to fame in the late 1950s. He was a pioneering figure in rock and roll, known for hits like "Peggy Sue" and "That'll Be the Day." Holly's distinct style combined elements of rockabilly and country music, influencing generations of musicians. Tragically, his career was cut short when he died in a plane crash at the age of 22, along with fellow musicians Ritchie Valens and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, in 1959, a day often referred to as "The Day the Music Died."
