June 23, 1937 – Niki Sullivan was born in South Gate, California. Sullivan was an American rock and roll guitar player. He was one of the four original members of Buddy Holly’s band, The Crickets. Though he lost interest within a year or two of his involvement, his guitar playing was an integral part of Holly’s early success. He performed on 27 of the 32 songs Holly recorded over his brief career. He co-wrote several songs. In 2012, Sullivan was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Crickets by a special committee, aimed at correcting the mistake of not including the Crickets with Buddy Holly when he was first inducted in 1986. #ROCkabillyHop #RocHop @buddyholly @BuddyHollyCtr #HappyBirthday #NikiSullivan
