Vinyl Sunday (Birthday Edition) - Buddy Holly Record Set

I still can’t contain my excitement over this 6-record set! My awesome sister and brother-n-law gave me the Complete Buddy Holly collection for my birthday. Its seems so appropriate seeing as Buddy was a Virgo too (September 7, 1936). His “hiccup” (glottal stop) singing style, trademark frames, and sweet lyrics on love make me weak in the knees…

Between the ages of 17 and 22, Buddy Holly made music that would live on to influence some of the biggest artists in contemporary music. On February 3, 1959, a small plane carrying him, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper went down in Clear Lake, Iowa. That date would later become known as “The Day the Music Died”.

Waylon Jennings and Buddy Holly.

Waylon recalls – ”Mainly what I learned from Buddy was an attitude.  He loved music, and he taught me that it shouldn’t have any barriers to it.”
