...Holly's career - which lasted a year and a half with only one number one single - hardly seems the stuff of legend. He only accepted top billing on the 24-day, 24-town "Winter Dance Party" tour alongside the Big Bopper (of "Chantilly Lace" fame) and Richie Valens ("La Bamba") as a way to dig himself out of bankruptcy.

In an egregious performance the home team proceeds to lose to the Guangdong Southern Tigers 130-101. It is the defending champions' third defeat in a row, dropping them to an embarrassing...
...BAMBA Seventeen-year-old Ritchie Valens' Spanish-language hit tops the U.S. charts and makes him the first Latin rock star, one month before he is killed in an air crash with Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper...
