	Buddy Holly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Buddy Holly was born Charles Hardin Holley in Lubbock, Texas to parents Lawrence Odell Holley and Ella Pauline Drake.
		Holly also managed to bridge some of the racial divide that punctuated rock, notably winning over an all-fl audience when accidentally booked for New York's Apollo Theater (though, unlike the fictional portrayal in his movie biography, it took several performances for audiences to be convinced of his talents).
		Buddy Holly was part of the first group inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on its formation in 1986.
