Buddy Holly, Sep 7, 1936 – Feb 3, 1959, the day the music died (as per American Pie)
Bob Dylan said in his Nobel lecture in 2017:
"Buddy died when I was about eighteen and he was twenty-two. From the moment I first heard him, I felt akin. I felt related, like he was an older brother. I even thought I resembled him. Buddy played the music that I loved – the music I grew up on: country western, rock ‘n’ roll, and rhythm and blues. Three separate strands of music that he intertwined and infused into one genre. One brand. And Buddy wrote songs – songs that had beautiful melodies and imaginative verses. And he sang great – sang in more than a few voices. He was the archetype. Everything I wasn’t and wanted to be. I saw him only but once, and that was a few days before he was gone. He looked older than twenty-two. Something about him seemed permanent, and he filled me with conviction."

Thank you so much. That brought back loads of memories from my teenage years where I would sit and listen to his music. 'True Love Ways' was my favourite.

At 8 minutes and 42 seconds, McLean's combined version is the sixth longest song to enter the Billboard Hot 100 (at the time of release it was the longest). The song also held the record for almost 50 years for being the longest song to reach number one.
A good puzzle. In both senses.
Nice - I recognized it well before finishing it.

Okay so I did the top half first and when I got to the glasses, I said I hope this is Buddy Holly since this picture is SO iconic. I am so happy it was. Great job and thank you for the puzzle and the picture. :)

Beautiful, and a great challenge! I did it without Xs until the last little bit.
I knew him by the glasses. Nice!
