Today marks the 52nd anniversary of the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper in 1959. This went on to inspire Don Mclean to write American Pie.

Just a little historical tidbit.

Which went on to inspire Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly".

Which got covered by The Fugees.

Buddy Holly -- Don McLean -- Roberta Flack -- Lauryn Hill

Neat, huh?
