The Music of Buddy Holly and the Crickets: The Definitive Story documents the brief life and career of a young man from Texas whose music and performing style would influence both Rock and Roll and country music. Buddy Holly became famous on the strength of his songwriting talent and his musical style, but died in a tragic airplane accident that also took the life of Richie Valens and The Big Bopper. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi
Product Notes
NTSC/Region 0. DVD released to coincide with the 50th Anniversary of the death one of Rock's most influential songwriters and performers. Buddy Holly and the Crickets made some of the greatest Rock 'N' Roll records of all time. It's a remarkable fact that such classics as 'That'll Be The Day', 'Peggy Sue', 'Oh Boy', 'Maybe Baby', 'Rave On' and 'Think It Over' were all recorded in a little less than twelve months during 1957-1958. He was killed on February 3, 1959 in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa. He was just 22 years old. Such a short life. Such a giant legacy. This DVD contains the 90 minute Definitive Story documentary, three live performances on the Ed Sullivan Show, interviews with Jerry Allison, Joe Mauldin, Sonny Curtis, Tommy Allsup, Carl Bunch, Sonny West and many others PLUS brand new never before seen The Day The Music Died, where they were when they heard the news.
