Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper.

Literally the day the music died.

    If Big Bopper didn't die, I don't think anyone would ever mention him.

    The same might be true of Buddy Holly. The Crickets had only released a handful of singles and already fallen off the charts before Holly died. If it wasn't for the massive amount of material they recorded that could be released posthumously they might have just been a footnote.
