  • Resumen

  • On May 2nd in music history, one significant event took place in 1957 when "That'll Be the Day" by The Crickets, featuring Buddy Holly on lead vocals, was released. This iconic track was recorded at Norman Petty Studios in Clovis, New Mexico, and became a massive hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States.

    Buddy Holly, a pioneering force in the early days of rock and roll, co-wrote the song with Jerry Allison (the drummer of The Crickets) and Norman Petty (their producer). The title was inspired by a phrase that John Wayne frequently used in his movies.

    "That'll Be the Day" showcased Buddy Holly's unique vocal style and guitar playing, which would go on to influence countless artists in the decades to come. The song's success marked a turning point in Holly's career, establishing him as a prominent figure in the rock and roll scene.

    Tragically, Buddy Holly's life was cut short in a plane crash on February 3rd, 1959, along with fellow musicians Ritchie Valens and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson. This event became known as "The Day the Music Died," immortalized in Don McLean's 1971 song "American Pie."

    Despite his untimely death at the age of 22, Buddy Holly's legacy continues to live on through his groundbreaking music and the countless artists he inspired. "That'll Be the Day" remains a classic example of his enduring impact on the world of rock and roll.
