Don't know if Aaliyah would be considered 'famous' enough for your list. At least she's been talked about a lot recently with all the R.Kellys child-molesting out yet again...?

Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens, died in that plane crash on FEBRUARY 3rd, 1959, not Jan. 3rd, along with Jape Richardson(The Big Bopper).
