| | RAB Hall of Fame: Buddy Holly |
 | | The audience at a UK Buddy Holly and The Crickets show included a young John Lennon and Paul McCartney, who would later sight them as a major influence, including the name The Beatles which was inspired from The Crickets. |
 | | At his death, Holly left behind a share of hits, including "Peggy Sue," "Not Fade Away" and "That'll Be The Day." With his chunky glasses and unimposing stance, he also influenced generations of such nerdy-looking rockers as Elvis Costello, They Might Be Giants and Weezer's Rivers Cuomo. |
 | | Buddy Holly was one of those pioneers, and was the legend to be made, and he was one of my heroes. |
