Buddy Holly was an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter, born on September 7, 1936, in Lubbock, Texas, USA. He is best known for his influential work in rock 'n' roll music. Despite his brief career, Holly was one of the pioneers of the genre and was among the first inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (Performer) and the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1986. Tragically, he died at the young age of 22 in a plane crash on February 3, 1959, just outside of Mason City, Iowa, while en route to Moorhead, Minnesota. He was traveling with others, including the airplane pilot, and this day is often referred to as "The Day The Music Died," a phrase derived from lyrics in a song by Don McLean.
