The effect Buddy Holly had on Rock-n-Roll wouldn't be known several years later with the "British Invasion". While he didn't have Elvis Presley's charisma as a songwriter and musician there were few better. He made it easier to look like a nerd on stage. His incorporation of classical music in his songs were light years ahead as well with dubbing on the tracks. Sadly, the brightest stars burn out quickly. The man was an American Mozart.
