On this date in 1959, a small plane crashed in Iowa, killing Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. "the Big Bopper" Richardson. The day would be come to know as "The Day the Music Died." Singer Don McLean recorded a tribute to the day in 1971. Here's a video of him performing the song.
Here's one of Buddy Holly performing his hit "Peggy Sue."
This one is of The Big Bopper, performing "Chantilly Lace" on American Bandstand.
I couldn't find one with video of Ritchie Valens performing "La Bamba," but this one has the audio.
