Jennings was a country music singer, songwriter, and musician.
best known as one of the founding pioneers of the Outlaw
Movement
in country music.

Jennings started to play guitar at age of eight and first performed
at age 12 on
KVOW radio, after which he formed his first band, The
Texas Longhorns. Jennings left high school at age 16, determined
to become a musician and worked as a performer and DJ on KVOW,

In 1958, Buddy Holly arranged Jennings’s first recording session,
and hired him to play

fated flight
in 1959 that crashed and killed Holly, J. P. “The Big
Bopper” Richardson
and Ritchie Valens. Jennings died in his sleep
from complications of diabetes at the age of 64, at his home in Chandler,
 Arizona.
