Buddy Holly - "Peggy Sue 巴迪·霍利和“佩吉·蘇”
巴迪·霍利（Buddy Holly）是美國搖滾樂先驅音樂家，在該流派的發展中發揮了重要作用。他經常與貓王和查克貝裡一起被稱為“搖滾樂之父”。
《Peggy Sue》是 Holly 最著名的歌曲之一，發行於 1957 年。這首歌是一首簡單但朗朗上口的曲調，講述了一個年輕人對一個名叫佩吉·甦的女孩的愛。 《Peggy Sue》取得了商業上的成功，在 Billboard Hot 100 排行榜上排名第三。
霍莉的音樂對後來搖滾樂的發展產生了重大影響。他對創新吉他技術（例如“巴迪·霍利和弦”）的使用以及他的歌曲創作風格有助於塑造該流派的聲音。 1959 年，年僅 22 歲的他因飛機失事英年早逝，震驚了音樂界，也鞏固了他作為搖滾偶像的地位。
像《佩吉·蘇》(1957)這樣的歌曲沒有表現出它的美國黑人的根源。基本上是一首十二小節藍調,旋律利用了大三和弦和沒有藍調音的大調音階。這與帶有鼻音的芬德爾吉他聲和沒有響弦的、火車 機車式的鼓聲一起,奏出了無人能識別的音樂語言。然而,很多在這個第一時期 出現的其他演藝者缺少霍利的原創性。這些藝術家,例如帕特·布恩,透過溫和的,但在商業上吸引人的真正歌曲的各種版本,由像“胖子”多米諾和“小理查德” 潘尼曼這樣的很有靈感的音樂家創作並首次錄音,擴大了搖滾樂的名組。
