Strange there was no mention of the Big Bopper and Richie Valens.

ConsequentDessert10, can't you say something nice??? You never comment other than saying ugly things about lily 21!! Why don't you just move on and play another game so you can hate someone new??

So sad, we lost so many great musical artists in plane crashes during that time period.😥

And Patsy Cline died in plane crash in 1963. Another loss for the fans.

Johnny Burnette was a great singer/song writer taken too soon. My fave is "Dreamin". In August 1964 he drowned in a lake in CA. Left behind a wife & son Rocky who made it good in the 70s. So says the Bio.

Player #14956187, I heard that Waylon ilor Kris Kristofferson, can't remember which, gave their seat up to Ritchie, who was the least senior act on the tour and destined to ride the bus. He was trying to reach a family celebration of some kind. So sad. 😔😢😥

Player #14956187
