Buddy Holly: A Life from Beginning to End (Biographies of Musicians)

Incredibly, Buddy Holly made his first recording at age twelve. His whole family was musically inclined, except for his father. It is impressive how quickly Buddy rose through the ranks of rock and roll stars. Unfortunately, however, he was dead by the age of twenty-two.

I would like to hear about what happened between Buddy's estate and the man who got 50% of everything Buddy sold. Did that contract stand? What happened to Buddy's wife after such a short marriage?
