Not Fade Away by John Gribbin
Buddy Holly was killed at 22 when the plane he was travelling in crashed on 3 February 1959. His lasting influence is clear; a musical based on his life seems set to run for longer than his lifetime and artists as diverse as Blink 182 and Bob Dylan call him an inspiration. This title offers detailed account of every Holly recording session.
If you want an introduction to the man and his music, you should read this charming and enthusiastic volume by John Gribbin-- Daily Express
Buddy Holly and The Crickets had an electrifying effect on us as young lads in Liverpool ... things would definitely not have been the same without his huge talent. Love ya' Buddy! -- Paul McCartney
Buddy Holly and The Crickets had an electrifying effect on us as young lads in Liverpool. We were inspired to learn guitar by seeing him on television and listening to his records. 'That'll Be The Day' blew our minds and Lord knows how long we took trying to learn the opening riff. His guitar and vocal style was massively influential on us as writers and players and things would definitely not have been the same without his huge talent. Love ya' Buddy! P.S. The name of his band, The Crickets, also influenced our choice of band name so those boys have a lot to answer for! -- Paul McCartney
This new book provides the excuse to keep Holly's music-making memory and influences alive. -- Screentrade Magazine
