February 3, 1959 marks the Day the Music Died.

One winter’s night, 51 years ago, a small plane took off from Clear Lake, Iowa and never reached its destination.

The plane crashed and tragically took the lives of rock ‘n roll’s most promising performers at the time, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson.

For those of you that don’t know:

Buddy Holly popularised the four-piece rock band and went on to be called “the innovator of early rock ‘n roll”.
Ritchie Valens had a major influence on Latin rock with his famous hit “La Bamba” and J.P. Richardson was a very successful songwriter – with a couple of his songs reaching no.1 in his time.

These three majorly talented music legends set the tone for pop culture and rock ‘n roll. Long after their death, their influence remains apparent.
