When Buddy Holly died in 1959, the whole word mourned. His career lasted three short years and he had an outstanding impact on rock'n'roll. Yet he was only 22 when he died. In The Buddy Holly Story, rock journalist and broadcaster John Tobler takes a perceptive look at the short and legendary career of the bespectacled young Texan. Illustrated with more than 120 photographs, this large format biography explores in words and pictures Buddy Holly's life and personality, and the influence of this music which can still be felt through the myriad re-releases and cover versions of his rock'n'roll classics.

This review is from: The Buddy Holly Story (Paperback)
Photo quality is average (not the best at times), basic info for a general fan, nothing too deep. Good intro to Buddy in general & short in length for those with an average interest.

Very nice book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Buddy Holly Story (Paperback)
I have read some biographies before this one, but I think that this one was the best so far. THe reason for that is that it is a lot more shorter than most biographies but it still has all the information I need, and some extra too like the part about the movie called Buddy Holly Story. Overall it is a good book and I recomend it to everyone who is interested about the real King and Creator of Rock'n'Roll, Buddy Holly.
