Buddy Holly, born as Charles Hardin Holley, was one of the most influential singer-songwriters of 1950s. His records conveyed a sense of joie de vivre and carried South-Western intonations. Although he became popular only a short while before his death, his music had already left an indelible impression in rock and roll music, which was the most popular genre at the time.

He was well-versed in a number of musical styles and was a seasoned performer by the time of his death. Holly was a continuous innovator, who wrote his own music and was among the first to use unconventional studio methods such as double-tracking. In his final months, he also began experimenting with orchestration. His wide set of songs includes standards of rock and roll including Thatll Be the Day, Peggy Sue and Maybe Baby.

Music apart, he was known for his signature horn-rimmed glasses and verbal hiccup. He deeply influenced The Beatles and Hollies. Even the Rolling Stones had their first main hit with Holly’s Not Fade Away. It is believed that he was the largest and one of the first influences on contemporary musicians including Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Elvis Costello and Steve Winwood.
