Media Narrative This 1979 picture-disc compilation shows how Holly’s image kept being repackaged for the nostalgia market long after his 1959 death.
-
Legal Trouble Holly’s recordings stayed tied up in long disputes involving former manager Norman Petty, his family, and the labels controlling unreleased material and royalties.
