Roger Whittaker, one of the UK’s most celebrated folk music
singers, has died.   

A family statement, reported by German media outlet Bild,
confirmed he died on September 13 in a hospital in southern
France.

Whittaker was best known for hits including Durham Town,
New World In The Morning and a version of Wind Beneath
My Wings – and being an expert whistler.

Charles Hardin Holley – known as Buddy Holly 
(September 7, 1936 – February 3, 1959)  

If you took out a map of the United States and traced
a line beginning at New Orleans and running up the
Mississippi River to Memphis, the tip of your finger
would pass through the very birthplace of rock and
roll—a region where nearly every step in its early
development took place and where nearly every
significant contributor to that development was born.

Writing and performing under the name Buddy Holly,
this Lubbock, Texas, native would have an influence
on rock and roll that would far outlast his tragically
shortened career.
