The Indispensable 1955-1959

Description

Buddy Holly emerged from Texas in 1957 as the new wind of rockabilly and then rock in general, reaching number one with a series of refined international hits like "Peggy Sue."
The Beatles built their style by learning his songs, and the first hit of the Rolling Stones was one of his. Bruno Blum tells here the story of a legend among legends: a singer whose signature "hiccups" make his style unimitable, a lead guitarist, a brilliant melodic composer, he was a revelation destined for a long career at the top. Sixteen months later, his plane crashed, killing him instantly at the age of twenty-two.
