Rate The Artist/Musician #67 - Buddy Holly
Buddy Holly http://course1.winona.edu/pjohnson/h...lly/BuddyL.gif Charles Hardin Holley (September 7, 1936 – February 3, 1959), better known as Buddy Holly, was an American singer, songwriter, and a pioneer of rock and roll. The change of spelling of "Holley" to "Holly" came about because of an error in a contract he was asked to sign, listing him as Buddy Holly. That spelling was then adopted for his professional career. In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked him #13 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time. Although his career was cut short, his body of work is considered among the most influential in rock.<sup class="noprint Template-Fact">[citation needed]</sup> His works and innovations were copied by his contemporaries and those who were to follow, including The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, and had a profound influence on popular music. |
10. Without Him and Lewis, there would likely be no rock and roll as we know it.
