Two people with ties to Buddy Holly's last concert have been inducted in the Iowa Rock 'n Roll Music Association Hall Fame.

Former Mason City radio announcer Bob Hale, who hosted the concert at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, and J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, were inducted in the hall of fame on Sunday.

A plane carrying Richardson, Holly and Ritchie Valens crashed in February 1959 shortly after it took off from the Clear Lake airport, killing all three performers and the pilot.
