When Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson passed away on February 3rd, 1959 after a small plane crash, rock and roll lost some of its most notable early pioneers. Singer-songwriter Don McLean called this moment in music history "The Day the Music Died," in his song "American Pie." In this www.WatchMojo.com video, we learn more about the lives and deaths of early rock icons Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper.
This happened over 50 years at ago and I'm still sad.
rattyeely same here
SAME HERE, THE SAD PART WAS MY DAD AND MOM were both teens dating each other, when they both saw them ALL ALIVE that night, then they all died in that plane crash that night!! VERY SAD.
almost 60 years now.
rattyeely the day the music died. I'm from Texas it's pretty cool how buddy Holly was from here
.
Imagine what Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens would have done in the 60s and 70s. They died to soon. The golden age of music was just around the corner after they died.
I'm pretty sure Richie Valens and Carlos Santana would have made an album together. I know prior to Jimi Hendrix's death, Jimi expressed an interest in collaborating with Santana. How great would that have been?
Amazing. The latin rhythms with Jimis guitar...

There songs too me always come into my thoughts and minds when I here 608's and 70's 🎶.
The golden age of music wasn't just around the corner when they died. They created the golden age of music man, which was 1950-1960.
it's freaky to think that Ritchie's life depended on that coin toss and he didn't even know it.
😪 RIP Gentlemen.
Roobix the first coin toss he ever won
It's definitely unsettling
No the young pilot that should have said no they cant play in this weather. If they even lived out of it that pilot would never fly again do to his huge mistake of taking off in that weather.
@@xXZanFanFooXx the first and the last
Just like Cliff Burton and the bus seats.
I did a presentation on Ritchie Valens for my Spanish class at school and I covered the Day the Music Died and two people started crying. They were all great musicians and still live on.
True loses and it is very sad. I love all three of them they will always be remembered. I cry everytime I see them on the plane. The music really did die because today the music sucks it isn't like it used to be.
When i saw "la bamba" for first time i cryed, its so sad, more for Rithcie whit mexican ascendence.
100th like
I'm JUST gl*d Don McLe*n s*ng (uh) song which chronicled the DE*THS of these music*l *rtists
Legend 🙌
the good ones always die young. Ritchie and my Selena RIP
D; Why did they have to die so young?
+Happy Feet just think how far they might have went if they lived !
yes R.I.P to them ❤
Hector Lalalala Selena Gomez died ????? When?
fnchrstphr dumb ass. it's selena not selena gomez
That moment in La Bamba when the camera focuses on the empty sky for several seconds after the plane takes off is one of the most chilling moments in film history
I read the coroner's report of the plane crash. Ritchie Valens skull was caved in so bad, you couldn't even distinguish his face. Almost his entire brain came out of his skull. The same with Buddy Holly. The Big Bopper was thrown several yards from the wreckage as well. They just died a horrible, horrible death. God rest their souls.
mathew mann cool
The one "good thing" (if you want to call it that) is that they all died so quickly they didnt even know what hit them. They certainly felt no pain at all. I heard that they thought the reason Bopper was so far from the plane was that he was trying to crawl for help and died, which would have been horrible, but thankfully an autopsy proved there was no way he survived even a millisecond after impact.
mathew mann I just read all three coroner reports about the conditions of their bodies, and it's absolutely horrific.
this just gave me the chills.....
smokeslet'sgo his body was probably just thrown.
They forgot to mention Buddy made those glasses cool.
Dovercast Brandon o
He didn't

@@lindalerma3460 it obviously a troll that has nothing to do but to talk shit.
Egat
I just watched La Bamba it's so sad it almost made me cry
Shawesomesauce / / Shadow Keeper Plays I cry every time I see the mother react to Ritchie valens death. sad ending.
me to i feel you
Yeah but it was an actor
Shawesomesauce richie valens
In order to dance the LaBamba a little bit of humor is needed.
Let's not forget Buddy Holly was a primary inspiration for The Beatles. I have always loved Buddy's vocal ability to make sudden changes in the timbre of his voice mid-phrase. It almost seems like there's 2 different people singing.
Trilaanus he pretty much created modern rock music
I'm pretty sure Chuck Berry gets more credit for that than Buddy Holly, since Chuck was first. lol
But, rock stemmed off of blues. So, you can easily say blues is the reason for rock...since rock is based off of blues. So, you can thank Robert Johnson for popularizing Blues and Chuck Berry for mixing it with pop rock & roll. :)
Why thank You.
Actually, their early influences were Elvis, Carl Perkins, Little Richard, and Chuck Berry.
Lennon said, "Nothing really affected me until I heard Elvis. If there hadn't been Elvis, there would not have been the Beatles."
Trilaanus I wouldn’t say PRIMARY. The Beatles had a lot of musicians they looked up to, like Elvis, Little Richard, Bob Dylan, and Chuck Berry.
Man, Ritchie passed when he was only 17...That's not a good time to die.
You think
The Dirty Camel Loved all these stars,along saving all my original records in beautiful condition.I,would never part with the records.originals labels.The best Rock and Roll in those days.todays music could never be as good.that is my,opinion.
There are still a few traditional style artists, but mostly in Country music.
KJ Caramel its never a good time to die
not really true either. If you had a nice life and reached a very respectable age many will agree the time to leave has arrived. Weird to state actually.
RIP
Buddy, Richie, The Big Bopper
57 years any yet you all still live on
rest easy
Such a shame they never got to life a full life.
+ComicBookCrunch today there in 70s and 80s age
that was the music i was lucky to. live that time good time and good people
58 years ;)
Mr. Midnight In a few days 59 years? Im bad at calculating years haha
Yo they added La Bamba to Netflix!!!!
Rolex DubbZ bless you for telling me this🙏🏼 was about to rent it & pay for that shit on RUclips
Awesome
Epic
My forth favorite bio picture movie
I know
loved them all but ritchie valens seemed so young and was my favourite very sad
David Briers he only had an eight month career who knows what he could do
The Big Bopper was a hell of a song writer too. He wrote George Jones' first number one single "White Lightning." RIP to everyone who died on that flight.
And "Running Bear" for Johnny Preston, and did all the 'Indian' sounds in the background.
@@RaxOldies yes, you're right about this, and both he & George Jones provided the "Indian" background sounds on Running Bear....
Buddy was right, the sky does belong to the stars , and now they are all up there , singing their hearts ♥️ out, we miss you guys RIP
That pilot should not have taken off in those conditions. Unfortunately, the pressure of those stars got to him. If he was a good pilot, he should have said, "No, I am not flying tonight."
+Majik0715 So? Ultimately, it's the pilots fault if he went up in such bad conditions. Ultimately, the choice to go or not to go is the Pilot in Commands, and the weather was demonstrably bad enough to justify not going.
+Majik0715 i'm a year younger, have only around 220 hours of flight experience, and I still have enough sense not to go in conditions like that.
+Majik0715 he had 711 hours of flight time. With the right certificates he could have been an airline pilot
+Majik0715 furthermore, he died for the same reasons hat JFK Jr died, in that he was flying into an environment he had very limited training and less experience in. However, it still does not excuse someone with that many hours not having developed enough of a sense not to fly that night
+Connor McLernon He made a decision. He thought he could do it. Conditions probably got worse when he got further in. He was probably confident in his skills, probably had experience in the conditions, no one else would do it except him.
It was 58 years ago this week that these 3 young men died in that plane crash. Rest in peace, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and Big Bopper. You will never be forgotten.
I feel so bad for Roger, he died that day too and is basically ignored, what a shame. RIP Mr. Peterson.
Is forgotten beacouse is the " cause" "" " of the death
Pietro Pavan Not exactly though
Pietro Pavan The CAB report makes no sense. The report claims the plane crashed at 170 miles per hour. Then they go on and say the reason it crashed was because pilot Peterson misread his attitude gyro, meaning he was diving when he though he was climbing (which is fucking ridiculous on its own.) This is a problem as if he was diving, he would be going a lot faster than 170 miles per hour. What does make sense is a stall, caused from probable ice on the carbonater and wings, and overloaded cargo. In other words, the ice on the wings made the planes aerodynamics worse, and the overloaded cargo made the aircraft too heavy.
Also the CAB did this shit, whenever they picked up a crash where the pilot died, they have already drawn their conclusion. Blame the pilot. Honestly should’ve been the CAB motto.
‘Here at the CAB we blame the pilot every fucking chance we get’
@@TLO129 yeah I think it's more probable that the wings got frozen and too much weight on board cause the plan to descend and crash. It baffles me that they think Peterson got confused and thought he was ascending. Like you'd definitely feel the direction you're going I'd have thought. Maybe he tried to land it as safe as possible but who knows really. It's a tragic loss. I hope they didn't suffer.
True
All three were heartbreaking losses what they would have done if they had lived why oh why did they fly ? R.I.P
They flew to get to the next stop quickly

60 years ago today. They crashed on Feb 3 1959.
Uh huh
I was born February 2nd
Old ass Boomer Bitches
I imagine all three of them performing songs together up there!
Nite Driv3r awww sweetie, I’m 22 and listen to this music. Besides, if your into the modern style (they are often crap by the way)
Don’t listen!
It’s that simple little boy.
Man Ritchie was young he's just in high school and he died in 1959 so sad 😭
9/7/1936. Happy 80th birthday Buddy.
Hes 81 now.
+Pet Paul hey made the comment on the first day of winter
82, but probably would've still been making great music.
We all suffered such a great loss back then. We were stunned. How could this happen to our idols. The talent we lost will never be forgotten. I was only a teenager, and to discover they perished for absolutely no good reason, except a scheduling mixup was absolutely devastating. The one thing that doesn't die, is our memories! R.I.P. Your music will also never be forgotten.
if theres a rock-n-roll heaven they must have a hell of band...
Paul Moholland, The Righteous Brothers’ Rock n’ Roll Heaven, an amazing song, a love letter to all of the rockers who died way too soon at the time and so fourth.
Pun not intended?
that contrast got me thinking
i see what you did there
You've GOT th*t RIGHT 8)
63 years ago today. Their music an impact will last forever!
You’ll never be forgotten Ritchie Valens. ❤️😔 All 3 of them Rest In Peace
I feel so bad for Waylon. He’s my favorite singer, and he lived in guilt because of the bickering he and Buddy had before they left. When Buddy found out that Waylon had given up his plane seat, he said “I hope that bus freezes up!” And Waylon said “I hope that plane of yours crashes!” The guilt Waylon felt caused him to have a drug addiction and it changed his life big time.
Ye*h! W*ylon Jenninggs went on to be (uh) WONDERFUL Country singer, who M*DE (uh) song with Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, *nd Johnny C*sh (this qu*rtet w*s N*MED "The Highw*ymen"): Highw*ym*n

My mother just turned 30 years old and I was 20 months old on the day the music died. This tragic loss has never been forgotten throughout my entire lifetime. The truly amazing thing is, their life and music is still relevant today and will be for generations to come. We are so blessed to have them. They most certainly will "Not Fade Away". 🎸🇺🇸
R.I.P. Buddy Holly (1936-1959)
R.I.P. Ritchie Valens (1941-1959)
R.I.P. the Big Bopper (1930-1959)
It's so sad that none of them, even the pilot, reached 30. Richie was only 17! Legends never die.
we know
@@CaptainSpalding72 cool it
R.I.P. Roger Peterson (1937-1959)
I know almost everyone blames him for the crash, but he was still human too and his family lost him at a young age too.
I was a junior in high school in Hawaii over 62-1/2 years ago today (5/19/2021) when these three great singers (Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson) died in that tragic plane crash on February 3, 1959. I vividly remember dancing to their music at our high school dances. Had those three lived, they would have been super giant rock singers in the 1960s-70s. May you three great singers R.I.P.!
Some 21 years later, on March 1, 1980, we moved to the Santa Clarita Valley, California, which is the next valley over from San Fernando Valley where Ritchie Valens lived for his short life of 17 years. I always used to think about him every time I drove through San Fernando Valley. Those three rockers made a lasting impression on me when “The Day the Music Died” on February 3, 1959. This year, 2021, is my 79th year on earth. Some things you never forget.
What ritchie did in the time he did is crazy
Crazy to think what he could've done
Believe it or not but Ritchie Valens is my cousin. Never met him though because he died at such a early age. But I am glad to be related to an amazing man and a awesome singer. Love you Ritchie.
I wish this music still exist even though I'm 9,and the style,you know what I wish the style and everything back then still exist 😭😭
Today 61 years ago today. We lost Buddy, Ritchie, and J.P. Richardson but their music still lives on.
Can't believe they've been gone for 60 years. May they all rest in peace. Gone but never forgotten. 🙁
Exactly they are never forgotten
rest in peace Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, J.P. Richardson, and the pilot Roger Peterson 58 years ago today you passed on but you are not nor will ever be forgotten.
I saw these guys perform in person when I was in highschool. Also saw Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis. I still listen to their music all the time. What great talent. IMHO, today's music can't compare. Guess I'm getting old. Just haven't grown up yet.
59 yrs today. Rip guys
Unfortunately, I remember when it happened very well, as I was 21,and a big fan.
Like don McLean said the day the music died in the year 1959. Three greats and will always be remembered. In my book. I don't care if this music is before my time. I have always loved it and always will.
Actually, what caused the crash was the pilot was unfamiliar with the gyroscope in that aircraft. He had trained on another instrument. The gyroscope was opposite from what he knew, in that when you pushed down on the wheel, the gyroscope showed the aircraft lifting, and when you pulled up, it showed the aircraft descending, IF you didnt know how to read it. And he didn't.
ray voshall💑
no 21 year old should of been flying them anyway .I know for a FACT I would of been on that bus in blankets. But I know the mid west winter cold.
dany maybe they should've hailed a taxi
+Mr. Midnight
Don't give up your day job.
JokersWild45 Which is called pilot error, which is what they said. Damn, you're dumb.
Ritchie will always be my favorite musical artist
Today is the 55th anniversary of their deaths. R.I.P.
Thank you for reminding all of us,because I live in algona iowa not too far from where they died in clear lake iowa.
5 years
Bob Dylan went to see one of Buddy's last shows and remembers it so well it wrote about how he was just 6 feet away and their eyes met in his literature lecture for the nobel prize in 2016.
They died exactly thirteen days before I was born in 1959. I just missed them, but they have always been my idols. I love their music. R.I.P. From Your Friend, Thomas K. Nigrelli.
Losing Buddy Holly......one of the saddest memories of my life. Always loved Rock&Roll...Buddy revolutionized it with lyrics that moved the listener.
After watching the Buddy Holly story i had to look him up again. I was only 9 when the accident happened but i remember my mom sadly telling me the news. Having a sister who is 4 years older than me we would dance around the house to their music. Sad day for us.
When Buddy Holly died, I w*s NOT even born YET (June 26, 1968)
This was like the most hurtful moments for some people and those three guys on the plane died with honor and loyalty with there music.
Jiles, Buddy, and Richie may have perished that cold February night, but Don McLean was wrong, their music will NEVER die.
CLASSICAL SONGS OH DONNA AND LA BAMBA ! IMMORTAL.....SO SAD RITCHIE DIED SO YOUNG TOGETHER WITH BUDDY HOLLY AND THE BIG BOPPER ... WHAT A GREAT TALENTS THEY WERE .....RIP RITCHIE BUDDY BIG BOPPER...
Great information to people that want to know about the great legends of the 50's. It saddens me that we'lll never know more of the great music they would of created.
I know its tragic why them as it said in Don McLean's song american pie the three men I admired most the father son and holy ghost I admire there music tragically they died so young I believe the big bopper was the only one that had kids not the other 2 sad that those 3 men never got to live a full life
Rock and roll fell apart after this, they were the last people that were doing good rock and roll and that everybody absolutely loved, Elvis did come back but the age of rock and roll was ultimately outdone by teen idols and no one ever rocked with such magnitude again. Ions truly sad to see how music has changed, there is little to no actual talent in the music industry anymore, these people had a true talent ad reason to be on this earth. And now all we can do is remenis on the songs they made, the people they changed, and the impact they made on American culture. R.I.P buddy holly,J.P Richardson, Ritchie valens, Elvis Presley, and R.I.P Rock 'n' roll...
3 legends of rock gone but never forgotten RIP

Ritchie Valens was only 17 so it's tough to project about his musical trajectory, but what an amazing talent. You never know, he may have been one of the greats. The Big Bopper seemed more of a novelty act in regards to recorded music. I doubt he would have been pushing the envelope with the best of them a decade later. But he obviously had charisma, ambition and was willing to take risks so it's tough to know where his career would have taken him.
Buddy would have been at the forefront of the music scene in the mid/late sixties and we'll never know what amazing songs / albums he would have written & recorded. He would have been right up there with all the great artists who recorded during that magical time from about 65-74.
I honestly didn't know the song American Pie was about that plane crash. I've heard the song a million times and I knew about the tragedy, but I guess I just never put two and two together lol
+brickman409 not about that specifically more spiritually..McClean has never said what it is about...I do believe the line about the door step and widowed bride are autobiographical when McClean was a paperboy in 1959...I think it is just about that age-old theme Lost Innocence and in this case he uses the early innocence of rock and the events of the next decade that changed all that ie: Vietnam, Altamount, Kent State....it is a metaphor for America from the 50's to the 60's and the massive upheavals
I thought it was about a heart break
The line “but February made me shiver, with every paper I delivered” was a clue
ever since it came out the disc jockeys made it clear this song was about the plane crash.
brickman409 i think it was mainly about buddy holly. Buddy Holly’s wife was pregnant I believe
Gone, but never forgotten.
Sure, 3 amazing singers died here, but every life matters, REST IN PEACE Roger Peterson, the pilot
yeah am sad to shearch big bopper exyoum
60 years since their voices when silent 🙏🏻 Rest easy Buddy 🎸🎶, Ritchie , Bopper 🎶 and pilot Rodger ✈️🙏🏻
Life would be different if they were alive..rip

2024 and this still breaks my heart. Legends in heaven 😢
As a semi truck driver, years ago I was at a Dennys in Clear Lake, IA and saw all of these pictures of these 3 musicans. I asked the waitress who they were and she told me a small piece of the Story. She told me where the crash sight was and I drove down to see it. It is a marker there. I started reading and learning about February 3, 1959.
The sky belongs to the stars-RIP
As of today, it has officially been 60 years since this tragic day.
It's so sad it is
Who came here after watching La Bamba again
Me once again.. LoL...
Me
Not me but I am going to watch it again tomorrow for sure...
They were all very young mostly Ritchie, it’s so sad 😞
Buddy holly what a great musician!! I love him!!
Agree epic
It’s been 60 years since these great young singers with a lot of potential died. 😢
I'm setting here in Garner Iowa on the 3rd of February 2016, that's about 9 miles west of where 94N fell from the sky, we've been out to the crash sight to pay our respects and in a military tradition each left a penny. Dwyer Air Service is still in business and the FBO at Mason City Airport, heck the plant I work at had a substitute USDA inspector this week, he was a line boy for Dwyer when he was in high school and dated one of the Dwyer girls. The Surf Ballroom has a big "winter dance party
weekend" going on this weekend, it's the second biggest week end after the 4th of July weekend. I'm 56, the crash happened 7 months before I was born. The fact we still remember is a tribute to their life and the music they made and we can morn the music that wasn't made due to the accident.
Their music will never be forgotten they were all great musicians.
Still miss Ritchie till this day and still love his music my grandpa gave me a guitar like Ritchie in la bamba practice evey day😢❤️
Such a tragedy, to this day their all greatly missed. I recall in high school in the 60's there wasn't a person that didn't know the words to 'The Day The Music Died'.
When he yells Ritchie on the bridge it gets me every time.
I was born and raised 30 miles outside of Lubbock and I have lived in Lubbock 20 years. I know one of Buddy's neices. Its so sad what happened to these young artists! So much talent gone way too soon.
2019 and still crying 😭😭😭😭
Happy 73rd birthday Ritchie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How can he be 73 when he's dead?
@@jamesquinn3715 bruh
If he was still alive lmao slow. He'd be 79 now.
A long long time ago
I can still remember how
That music used to make me smile
What most seem to forget is that they all had families, and even though we love them and are sad they passed their families heard about it the same time everyone else did. Rip Buddy, Richie, JP, and Roger :) gone but certainly not forgotten your candlelight has turned into a star
In 1959 the news media did not wait for the family to be notified first. They were all in a race to be the first to report. This was presented in the movie in such a heartbreaking manner.
Rip Ritchie always in are hearts
And Buddy Holly too
I live in Lubbock and Buddy Holly is a legend here! I am friends with his niece. His photos are everywhere you go in Lubbock! There is a museum here, The Buddy Holly Center. On this day, February 3, 1959...59 years ago today was THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED. 😢 RIP Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and JP “BIG BOPPER” Richardson.
It's been 61 years since this tragic event happend
Rip Ritchie,Buddy,and The big bopper
Three great people. Such a loss.
It's hard not to cry when thinking about this. Even for me, someone born over 30 years after this happened.
People that personally new the 3 stars all say they where the nicest guys you could meet. They would give you the shirts off there backs. R.I.P gentleman! February 3 1959 was a true loss for the world. God bless you. Heaven must have a hell of a band.
John Goldrosen wrote an excellent bio of Buddy, who'd be turning 83 today. The pilot error was likely due to Peterson's lack of instrument flight certification and inability to figure out that the Sperry Gyroscopic compass on the Bonanza's dash had an inverse cursor which showed the reference line going down as the plane ascended. He probably looked at it rising, as he descended, and didn't realize he was heading into the ground until it was too late. The plane skidded hard and piled up against a fence in an empty field on a farm.
It is always a real shame when talented artists die before their time...At the same time, they
will always be immortal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes.
There is an afterlife that lots of people are unaware of.. Jesus Christ is the Truth, amen.
Bro, Ritchie was the most talented in the bunch. Holly struggled early in his career and Valens just took off in less than 8 months at 17!
What does that have to do with anything? At the time Holly was the most popular, best selling and talented among the headliners on that tour. Had the crash not happened, maybe Valens does surpass Holly, or he blew his wad early and was a flash in the pan.
@@erikbaran7197 Popular doesn't always translate to better.
What are you smoking?
And let's not forget about American Pie's song "The Day the Music Died", a tribute to those three men who died in the crash.
Basically, the loss of three fantastic music performers.
ininja32 a very good way to help us remember them. Great comment. Thanks.
I am proud to say I am fan of the oldies myself.
So am I.
Before Don's song to remember these legends, Eddie Cochran recorded 'Three Stars' for Buddy, Ritchie and JP. Check it out. Great song.
Buddy’s and Richie’s deaths hit me real hard. (Buddy especially since he’s from my home state Texas) I didn’t know the big bopper so it’s didn’t hit so hard still Rest In Peace to all of them you will never be forgotten
I was 12: just getting into 'Grown up' music. The local youth clubs were playing all the terrific hits...Don't believe The Music Died...within a few years we had Elvis, The Beatles, Everly Brothers, The Stones and so many more which became the Golden Age of popular music. These three guys paved the way; their music means they live on in our hearts.
I'm depressed I share my birthday with buddy holly😕 rest easy
his birthday 4 days after mine >.> even creepier
Always in my heart. always be remembered.
What awesome singers are writers! They helped catapulted Rock and roll into what it is today! Their music will never die! God bless them and their mark on human history!
I have been a fan of buddy Holly a year now rip 💔😭
When you look at the lyrics of a Big Bopper song in Spotify, the background is a newspaper article about his death.
I wish I knew my great uncle....
Kyle Valenzuela yikes i didn't really expect anyone from his family to be here um sorry
Kyle Valenzuela omgosh...i'm so sorry for your loss. It was certainly a tragedy for the world and for music.
How much of this is true? From other stories I have read or watch that Richie didn't win that coin toss that he actually lost and wasn't suppose to be on the plane that night?
@@geminiangie6128 thats true but i think waylon Jennings was there to and just told richy to go ahead and take the plane
flat cat Waylon gave up his seat on the plane to The Big Bopper who had the cold and didn’t want to stay on the cold broken down bus.
My 84 year old mom always tells me the story of when she was 19 years old in the Canadian Air Force on base at St Johns in Quebec. She was standing at the bathroom sink, listening to the radio brushing her teeth when she heard the tragic news that Buddy died, along with The Big Bopper and Richie Valens.
The says she stood there dumbfounded, tears streaming down her cheeks in shock and grief.
I Truly Love Buddy Holly And Ritchie Valens. Their Music Always Makes Me Feel Real Good Everytime I Listen To It. God Bless Them And JP Big Bopper Richardson As Well. May You All Rest In Peace.
Man, Holly would’ve been a force with rock and roll of the 60s and 70s.
