Buddy Holly was a pioneer of rock music back when it was just starting to take off. He played smooth melodies on his guitar that was unheard of at the time, inspiring many popular musicians like Elton John, Bob Dylan, and Eric Clapton. Sadly, Buddy Holly passed away a year after this photo was taken at just 22 years old on February 3, 1959, along with The Big Bopper and Richard Valens. That date has been dubbed The Day the Music Day.
