The crash seriously disfigured Denver's head and body, making identification impossible by dental records, and his fingerprints were used to confirm that the fallen pilot was the singer.

Buddy Holly is probably the strangest rock'n roll legend of the 1950s. He has had a lot of hits, and has gained immense fame, but his importance transcends all sales figures or even the peculiarities of A song (or groups of songs) that he has written or recorded. Buddy Holly is unique, its legendary status and its impact on popular music are all the more extraordinary in that they imposed themselves in barely 18 months. Among his rivals, Bill Haley is the first and established rock'n roll, Elvis Presley imposes implicit sexuality on music, selling millions of records in passing and drawing an aspect of youth and charisma necessary for celebrity, And Chuck Berry defines the roots of rock in the blues and the finest evocations of his sexuality, plunging everything into the freshness of youth. The influence of Buddy Holly goes at least as far, more subtle and more musical in nature. In a career spanning from spring 1957 to winter 1958-59, Buddy became the most important creative focus of primitive rock. During his 18 months of success, Buddy works under two entities, according to the wish of his manager to the label Decca. He plays with The Crickets (a good band, innovative and who participates in beautiful way, by the way) to release hits like "That'll Be the Day", which breaks the charts and makes it known, And released more ambitious records under the name Buddy Holly. An innovative singer, his emphasis becomes a classic of rock, while his sophisticated but nervous songwriting engenders to the shovel of the immediate classics. Great ones like the Beatles or the Rolling Stones will cite him as the primary influence of their work. Buddy Holly and two of the Crickets died at the height of their glory on February 3, 1959, when the plane that brought them back from Iowa to the Dakota was lost in a snowstorm and crashed without leaving any survivors.
