i'm a massive fan of his music, and have a jukebox stuffed with them. they are still very popular tunes today and familiar to most people , even youngsters.
he was a massive influence on the early rock and roll scene and then onto groups like the beatles and the rolling stones who in turn were inspirations to more modern artists like oasis and paul weller , so it can be argued that he is responsible for even modern music.
there is only a very small memorial at the crash site and he never seems to get the headlines when it comes to 60's music, Elvis is always the bigger star. well not for me .
i often wonder what music he would have gone on to produce had his life not been so tragically cut short .
anybody else a Buddy fan ?
