Today would have been Buddy Holly’s 90th birthday.

Today, we send our love and warmest wishes to the families, friends and fans of Buddy Holly and The Crickets as we celebrate what would have been Buddy’s 90th birthday. 🎸❤️

Time may have flown, but the music continues to defy the years.

Thanks to the remarkable dedication and skill of John Beecher and his talented team, we can enjoy beautifully updated recordings of Buddy Holly and The Crickets—fresh and clear, yet never losing their original magic.

We can only imagine the songs Buddy might have written, produced and recorded, both for himself and for others, had fate not so tragically intervened.

Today, let us celebrate his extraordinary legacy through the timeless recordings he gave the world—especially “That’ll Be the Day,” the song that launched an unforgettable golden era, and his beautiful solo classic, “True Love Ways.”

Happy 90th Birthday, Buddy. Your music lives on. 🎶
