My first R & R hero at age 15, I had my hair shaped like his and wore black rimmed glasses. Bought my first ever LP of him with the Crickets and every record since including his solos. I was so sad by the way his life ended. Many future rock musicians copied his style in their songs. One of my favorites in his later years, It Doesn't Matter Anymore written by Paul Anka.
