Buddy Holly face pot - Kevin Francis circa 2001

Buddy Holly face pot produced by Kevin Francis Ceramics of Stoke-on-Trent, England, circa 2001. Charles Hardin Holley (1936-1959), known as Buddy Holly, was an American singer and songwriter who was a central and pioneering figure of mid-1950s rock and roll. Holly's style was influenced by gospel music, country music, and rhythm and blues acts. During his short career, Holly wrote and recorded many songs. He is often regarded as the artist who defined the traditional rock-and-roll lineup of two guitars, bass, and drums. Holly was a major influence on later popular music artists. Holly's face pot quote "That will be the day" is the title of a song written by Buddy Holly and first recorded in 1956. It was also the first song recorded by the Quarrymen, a skiffle group from Liverpool that evolved into the Beatles.
