Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Jerry Allison, who played to screaming crowds as a member of the 1950s rock band Buddy
Holly and the Crickets and co-wrote some of their biggest hits,
died Monday.

Allison’s writing contributions included co-penning “That’ll Be
the Day” and “Peggy Sue.” He said he also co-wrote “Not Fade
Away” with Holly but went uncredited, due to the producer
allegedly switching his own name in instead.
