BY COREY LONG
On February 3, 1959, Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, and The Big Bopper—the Three Stars—were taken too soon in a tragedy that changed a generation. Nearly 70 years later, their enduring songs continue to bring joy to rock & roll fans and inspire musicians who have followed in their footsteps. Led by rock & roll icon Pat Boone, this first-of-its-kind collaboration of artists pays tribute to the Three Stars through vibrant and heartfelt interpretations of their music. Like them, the songs remain forever young.
