Holly, Buddy
My Life (marbled)
Buddy Holly is one of the greats of music history. He is one of only eight artists overall that Rolling Stone magazine includes on all three top lists, 100 Greatest Musicians, 100 Greatest Songwriters and 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. Hollys influence on the development of rock music was considerable. He was the first to establish the standard formation of a rock band with lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass and drums, which is how the Beatles adopted it. The Rollings Stones opened many of their concerts with the Buddy Holly song Not Fade Away. There is a Broadway musical about Buddy Holly, an Oscar-nominated motion picture, and a number of famous songs. The album My Life is a compilation of Hollys greatest hits. was closed
