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.

Rock Around The Clock Lyrics
Buddy Holly
One, Two, Three o'clock, four o'clock rock,
five, six, seven o'clock, eight o'clock rock,
nine, ten, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock rock,
we're gon-na rock around the clock to night.
Put your glad rags on and join me, Hon.
We'll have some fun when the clock strikes one.
We're gon-na rock a round the clock to night.
We're gon-na rock, rock, rock, till broad day light.
We're gon-na rock around the clock to night.
When clock strikes tw, and three and four,
if the band slows down, we'll yell for more.
We're gon-na rock around the clock to night.
We're gon-na rock, rock, rock, till broad day light.
We're gon-na rock around the clock to night.
When thechimes ring five and six and sev'n,
We'll be rock in up in seventh heav'n.
We're gon-na rock around the clock to night.
We're gon-na rock, rock, rock, till broad day light.
We're gon-na rock around the clock to night.
When it's eight, nine, ten, eleven too,
I'll be go in strong and so will you.
We're gon-na rock around the clock to night.
We're gon-na rock, rock, rock, till broad day light.
We're gon-na rock gon-na rock aroundthe clock to night.
When the clock strikes twelve, we'll cool off, then,
start a rock in round the clock a gain.
We're gon-na rock around the clock to night.
We're gon-na rock, rock, rock, till broad day light.
We're gon-na rock, gon-na rock around the clock to night.
Yeah!
