Buddy Holly

All about this Texas pioneer who helped invent the rock band as we know it, became a producer in his own right, and shaped untold musical destinies before dying tragically young in an infamous plane crash.
Profile: Buddy Holly
The man who invented the self-contained rock and roll band was also rock's first great auteur and geek god, one who remains much more important for how he lived -- including hits like "Peggy Sue," "Oh Boy!" and "That'll Be The Day" -- than how he died.
