Signed Photograph

One of the earliest and biggest of the rock 'n roll stars, Holly died tragically in a plane crash February 2, 1959 en route to a concert. Although his success lasted only a year and a half before his death, Holly is described by critic Bruce Elder as "the single most influential creative force in early rock and roll" and he was amongst the first group of inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. He is notoriously rare in signed photographs. (7909)
