PLAYLIST: The Day The Music Died
February 3, 1959 will always be one of the saddest days in music, and 59 years after a plane crash killed Buddy Holley, Ritchie Valens and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson, we still ask the question that haunts all the musicians that left us too soon: “What if?”
We’ll never know what future these musicians had in store, but we can find solace in the great songs they left behind. In their honor, we suggest you turn up the playlist below.
