Although Buddy Holly's meteoric rise to rock and roll stardom was cut short in a tragic plane crash on February 3, 1959, he left us classic songs like "It's So Easy" and "That Will Be The Day." A rare early glimpse of a budding legend is included in this 1954 Lubbock, Texas high school yearbook, which features early Holly's pictures and an autograph to classmate Tommy Sewell reading, "To a swell pal. Buddy Holly" in blue pen rating a strong 8. The cream-colored yearbook is in excellent condition, with minor wear and soiled areas on the front and back covers. Comes with a letter of authenticity from Sewell.
