Buddy Holly -- Lives

  Buddy Holly had such a huge impact on Rock 'n' Roll that after his plane crashed some considered it the day that music died.  Holly to me was the bridge changing the 50's sound to the 60's sound, imagine the Beatles or the Beach Boys without Buddy's influence ... grim isn't it?  Would there be such a thing as Orchestrated Baroque Pop music without Holly ... probably not.  Buddy's short but perfect career reflected his era beautifully ... I wonder what his music would have been like in the 60's if he would have survived the plane crash???

Btw, I know it's not called Lives, but that sounds way cooler than 20 Golden Greats!!!
