What a sad tale and sounds like the whole police investigation was a balls up. Only 23 yrs old.

They found his body in a car, bloodied, beaten and covered in gasoline. But he was definitely a throwback from the early days - Buddy Holly and Eddie Cochrane. But think about this....how many groups were cutting pure rock n roll in a guitar group format from 1961-1963...before the British Invasion? It's known as a period in which rock nearly died out (the teen Idol era). If it hadn't been for the British Invasion....who knows what would have happened?

Until now I really only knew "I Fought The Law", which is undoubtedly one of the all-time great hair-on-the-back-of-your-neck-raising singles. Listening to the MP3s above, I get Buddy Holly meets the Beatles, with a bit of the Shadows for good measure. In all honesty it sounds a bit dated for 1964/65, more like the sort of stuff the Fabs would have been playing in Hamburg in 1961/62. Compare these tunes with the rapidly maturing songwriting on A Hard Day's Night, for instance. Not bad but perhaps not epoch-making. Interesting post!
