Buddy Holly was one of the most influential singer-songwriters of the 1950s. His records conveyed a sense of ‘joie de vivre’ and carried South-Western intonation. Although he was not popular for most part of his life, his music had left an indelible impression in the rock and roll music scene, which was the most popular genre at that time. He was well-versed in a number of musical styles and had become a seasoned performer by the time of his death. Holly was a continuous innovator; he wrote his own music and was among the first to use unconventional studio methods, such as ‘double-tracking.’ During his final months, he also began experimenting with orchestration. His wide range of songs include ‘That’ll Be the Day,’ ‘Peggy Sue,’ and ‘Maybe Baby.’ Apart from music, he is also remembered for his signature horn-rimmed glasses. He deeply influenced ‘The Beatles’ and ‘Hollies.’ Even the ‘Rolling Stones’ had their first major hit with Holly’s ‘Not Fade Away.’ It is believed that he was one of the most important and earliest influences on popular musicians, including Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Elvis Costello, and Steve Winwood.
