Buddy Holly almost never ever got a shot.
Here is his "label" refusing to release "That'll Be The Day", dropping his contract, AND refusing to let him buy out the song as well.
Phone call between Buddy Holly and Paul Cohen of DECCA from Thursday February 28, 1957.
5 years parking and the "trends" would have changed.
He ended up going around the label (and luckily was on a subsidiary label when he did so).
