Amazing how influential Buddy Holly was.

- The Beatles wanted a name that sounded like The Crickets
- John Lennon never wore his glasses on stage until he saw Buddy on tv
- The Rolling Stone's first single was a cover of "Not Fade Away"
- the Hollies are named after him

and it's made all the more impressive by the fact that there were 16 months from the time he had his first hit (That'll be the Day) and his death.
