The Day The Music Died
Advertisements [?]
Don McLean's song "American Pie," which reached #1 on the charts in 1972, refers to an actual day. It was forty-seven years ago today.

On February 3, 1959, a plane carrying Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper (J. P. Richardson) from a concert at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, crashed soon after takeoff. There were no survivors.
