Who were Buddy Holly’s parents?

On September 7, 1936, Charles Hardin Holley, the fourth child of Lawrence Odell “L.O.” Holley (1901-1985) and Ella Pauline Drake, was born in Lubbock, Texas (1902–1990).

Larry (1925–2022), Travis (1927–2016), and Patricia Lou were his older siblings (1929–2008). Holly was primarily of English and Welsh heritage, with some Native American lineage. From an early age, he went by the name “Buddy”.

The Holleys regularly moved homes within Lubbock during the Great Depression, and L.O. changed occupations multiple times. The family attended Tabernacle Baptist Church, and Buddy Holly was christened as a Baptist.

The Holley family loved music, and everyone could sing or play an instrument with the exception of L.O. Buddy joined the older Holley brothers on violin once while they played in a local talent event.

His brother Larry lubricated the bow so it wouldn’t make any sound because he couldn’t play it.
