Maria Elena Holly: My Life With Buddy

BBC Radio 2 - Maria Elena Holly: My Life With Buddy

Maria Elena Holly talks to Don McLean about her life with Buddy before and since his death

As part of BBC Radio 2's Fifties Season, Maria Elena Holly talks to Don McLean about her relationship with Buddy Holly and life spent championing his name since 'the music died'.

Maria Elena Holly: My Life with Buddy

Thirty-seven years after his phenomenal success with the near-nine-minute-long hit single American Pie, Don McLean talks to Maria Elena Holly about her sadly brief marriage to rock 'n' roller Buddy Holly, who 50 years ago last Tuesday died in a plane crash with Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper (aka Jiles Richardson Jr). The premature deaths caught the imagination of 13-year-old McLean, who 12 years later declared in his iconic folk-pop opus that 3 February 1959 was "the day the music died". In an exclusive interview, Holly's widow discusses her whirlwind romance with the singer whose life and music she has never stopped championing.
