Book description

OH BOY! is your backstage pass to the birth of the rock music revolution. It is the most complete, compelling, and fully up-to-date new biography of the legendary Buddy Holly, the young man who was legally blind, but saw the future of rock 'n' roll. This compulsively readable book-- the first and only biography of Buddy for music fans of all ages-- fills a glaring gap in the curriculum of ìthe school of rock and recaptures the Buddy Holly magic for a new generation.
