Buddy Holly and The Crickets were formed in 1957, when they began playing an innovative rock and roll style of music. Holly's approach was from a Country-Western background and his band became the first successful rock band to both write and perform their own original songs, with their first album shooting them to national prominence. After numerous hit records Holly began experimenting in the studio, overlaying and dubbing his tracks to get a wholly unique sound that is still employed by bands today. And then, just barely three years after beginning his already legendary recording career, Holly was killed along with Richie Valens and The Big Bopper in a tragic plane crash known as “The Day the Music Died”. Although Holly’s career was unfairly abbreviated, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986.
