The Day The Music Died


February 3rd, 1959, was named as the day the music died

When 17 year old Richie Valens died coz of a plane crash :(

Richie Valens is the singer of extremely popular songs such as La Bamba and Earth Angel

Can't even believe how a 17 year old can be so popular!! :shocked: Even after 50 years after his death he is still popular :)

He was a one of the people who made Rock and Roll extremely popular.

He died in a plane crash :(

The plane was piloted by a very young boy

Richie Valens was one of the most popular singers of his time ;)

    Its not only Valens that died, The same crash killed Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and JP Richerdson, Of the these 3 Buddy Holly is the most popular as he was a pioneer in rock and roll music and the day the music died is synonymous with the death of Buddy Holly. Not Vanels.
    The term "The day the music died" comes from the Don Maclean's song American Pie.
    He dedicated the album to Buddy Holly.

    check your facts again.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_day_the_music_died said:
    On February 3, 1959, a small-plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, United States, killed three American rock and roll musicians: Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, as well as the pilot, Roger Peterson.[1] The day was later called The Day the Music Died by Don McLean, in his song "American Pie."
    That's the origin of the term.
