For those who were alive at the time a plane crash on February 3, 1959 was also one of those days singed in memory. Killed in that crash were Rock and Roll icons Buddy Holly, 22, of Lubbock, Tex.; Ritchie Valens, 17, of Los Angeles; J.P. (Big Bopper) Richardson, 24, of Beaumont, Tex., also killed was the pilot, Roger Peterson, 21, of Clear Lake, Iowa. Three of Rock and Roll’s most promising performers were gone. Ever since that horrible crash, February 3 has been known as “the day the music died.”
