THE MURDER OF BOBBY FULLER

The Annals of Rock 'n' Roll Crime 

HE FOUGHT THE LAW

The murder of  22-year-old Bobby Fuller was above all else a tragedy for cutting short the life of one of America's most talented musicians. Bobby Fuller had bridged the gap between Buddy Holly and Creedence Clearwater Revival. A natural songwriter and steeped to the eyeballs in Texas rythmn and blues he would almost certainly have carved out a career as a rock heavyweight had he not fallen victim to some bad intentions. Like Eddie Cochran or Buddy Holly he was so young yet had already done so much.
