Buddy Holly(September 7, 1936 - February 3, 1959) was a Texan singer-songwriterand is considered one of the founding fathers of rock 'n' roll, as well as one of its most influential artists. Although his career was cut short, his body of work is considered some of the best in rock music history and his music would influence not only many of his recording contemporaries, but also the future direction music would take. Sixties rock bands such as The Beatlesand The Rolling Stoneshave cited him as one of their favorite musicians. Holly's music was sophisticated for its day, including the use of instruments considered novel for rock and roll, such as the celesta (heard on Everyday). Holly was an influential lead and rhythm guitarist, notably on songs such as Peggy Sueand Not Fade Away.

Brown Eyed Handsome Man Lyrics
Buddy Holly
Arrested on charges of unemployment
he was sitting in the witness stand
the judge's wife called up the district attorney
said free that brown eyed man
you want your job you better free that brown eyed man
Flying across the desert in a TWA
I saw a woman walking across the sand
she been a-walkin' thirty miles en route to Bombay
to reach a brown eyed handsome man
her destination was a brown eyed handsome man
Way back in history three thousand years
back ever since the world began
there's been a whole lot of good women shedding tears
for a brown eyed handsome man
a lot of trouble - was a brown eyed handsome man
The beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind
between a doctor and a lawyer man
her mother told her darling go out and find yourself
a brown eyed handsome man
that's what your daddy is a brown eyed handsome man
Milo Venus was a beautiful lass
she had the world in the palm of her hand
but she lost both her arms in a wrestling match
to win a brown eyed handsome man
she fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man
Well, two, three the count with nobody on
he hit a high fly into the stand
rounding third he was headed for home
it was a brown eyed handsome man
that won the game - it was a brown eyed handsome man
