With a groundbreaking combination of country music and rhythm & blues, Buddy Holly and the Crickets (Don Stroud, Charles Martin Smith) catapulted to national stardom in just three short years with such hits as "That'll Be The Day," "It's So Easy," and "Peggy Sue." By the age of 22, Holly had it all: chart-topping singles, a beautiful wife, and international acclaim - until tragedy ended a brilliant career…but not his music. In an Academy Award -winning score adaptation, the most influential rock 'n' rollers of all time and the legacy he left behind. |
