In Association with CDNOW<=> Bill
He was born Charles Hardin Holley (later amended to "Holly") on September 7th, 1938, in Lubbock, Texas.
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. He pioneered and popularized the now-standard rock-band lineup of two guitars, bass and drums.
Buddy Holly was only 20 years old at the time of his death - an event immortalized in Don McLean's "American Pie" as "the day the music died."
