Prince was from Minnesota and created a sensation when he sent around a demo tape. He was signed to a huge deal at the age of 19.
Minnesota has had a really dynamic music scene largely thanks to Prince, who was hugely influential.
But there was always a big scene there. Bob Dylan came from Duluth and Bobby Lee came up in the Minnesota music world. And then there was Eddie Cochran.
Cochran was one of the early rockers and he died young - just 21. Much like Buddy Holly, he managed to have a big impact in a short time.
