Mid-Week Birthday Songs

 

Two rock icons have birthdays today: the late, great rockabilly star Buddy Holly (b. 1936 - d. 1959) and Chrissie Hynde, who turns 71. Holly was one of the fathers of rock 'n' roll with his style of rhythmic upbeat rock paving the way for so many rockers to follow, while Hynde made her mark as the leader of The Pretenders some 40 years ago, and as a solo artist . Here are two signature songs from them. Enjoy.
