Day the Music Died by Martin Huxley & Quinton Skinner
A plane crash in rural Iowa in 1959 cut short the lives of three young musicians - Buddy Holly, Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens - yet created a legend and legacy that live on today. This examination of the crash charts the consequences not only for rock'n'roll music but for pop culture in general.It happened in rural Iowa four decades ago, when tragedy cut short three young musicians' lives, yet created a legend and a legacy that live on today. In the pre-dawn hours of February 3 1959, just five years after Rock and Roll first exploded on the scene, three of its brightes lights were extinguished. The electrifying, seventeen year old performer Ritchie Valens, the outrageous, leopard-print jacketed Big Bopper and headliner Buddy Holly, the brilliant rock and roll innovator, all died in a small plane crash. Though they were silenced forever, their music is immortal. |
