This day in music history.

February 3, 1959, An airplane crash near Mason City, Iowa, kills Buddy Holly, J.P. Richardson (The Big Bopper), and Ritchie Valens. Buddy had chartered the plane because the heater on the tour bus was broken and he was tired of freezing. Waylon Jennings was on the tour as Buddy’s bass player, he gave up his seat on the plane to Richardson because Richardson had a cold, upon hearing this Buddy looked at Waylon and said "I hope that old bus breaks down for you" and Waylon shot back "I hope your plane crashes". Ritchie Vanens and Tommy Allsup (who was also on the tour) both wanted a seat on the plane as well so they flipped a coin to see who would fly, Valens won.
Holly's headstone carries the correct spelling of his name, Buddy Holley. It also features a carving of his favorite guitar. His hometown, Lubbock has a life-size statue of Buddy as its centerpiece.
Chantilly Lace by The Big Bopper
Hello baby, yeah, this is the Big Bopper speaking
Oh you sweet thing
Do I what
Will I what
Oh baby you know what I like
Chantilly lace and a pretty face
And a pony tail hanging down
That wiggle in the walk and giggle in the talk
Makes the world go round
There ain't nothing in the world like a big eyed girl
That makes me act so funny, make me spend my money
Make me feel real loose like a long necked goose
Like a girl, oh baby that's what I like
What's that baby
But, but, but, oh honey
But, oh baby you know what I like
What's that honey
Pick you up at 8 and don't be late
But baby I ain't got no money honey
Oh alright baby you know what I like…

That’ll Be The Day by Buddy Holly
That’ll be the day
when you say goodbye that’ll be the day
when you make me cry
you say you’re gonna leave - you know it’s a lie
cause that’ll be the day when I die
Well, you give me all your loving
and your turtle-dovin’ all your hugs and kisses
and your money too,
we-hella
you know you love me baby
until you tell me maybe that someday well,
I’ll be through
When Cupid shot his dart
he shot it at your heart so if we ever part
and I leave you
you sit and hold me and you tell me boldly
that someday well, I’ll be blue
