RAVE ON: THE BIOGRAPHY OF BUDDY HOLLY

Sinopsis de RAVE ON: THE BIOGRAPHY OF BUDDY HOLLY

With his black horn-rimmed glasses and Fender Stratocaster guitar, Buddy Holly inspired a generation of rock 'n' roll superstars, among them the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Elvis Costello, Elton John, and Bruce Springsteen. His death in a plane crash on February 3, 1959, when he was only twenty-two, is rock's most famous disaster - "the day the music died." In "Rave On", acclaimed rock biographer Philip Norman sheds new light on the short but tumultuous life of rock's best-known but most elusive and enigmatic figure. Drawing on never-before-seen archival materials as well as on in-depth interviews with those closest to Holly - notably his widow, Maria Elena, who gives her first interview in more than twenty years - "Rave On" provides a revealing, sometimes shocking, but always warmly affectionate portrait of rock 'n' roll's early days and it's brightest and most enduring star.
