Publishers Description: Though only 22 years old when he died, Buddy Holly has become a legend in rock-and-roll history. In Rave On , writer Philip Norman proposes that Holly was even more influential in the genres development than previously credited. Though popular in the United States, his subtle style and earnest charm were overshadowed by the more flamboyant Elvis Presley. Hollys aura of mystery was much more suited to England, which was still recovering from post-war depression, and his reception there was unprecedented. His music played a major role in igniting English youth, and his low-key approach to energized rhythms and rebellion influenced many groups--including the Beatles--to play rock-and-roll.
