![]() Early on, Pat won a Coca Cola singing contest that promised him the chance to become a recording artist. Their heritage was a blend of Native American and Mexican. The brothers were born near Fresno, California. Pat and Lolly Vegas are another example that anyone can have soul. It made no difference of course because Holly proceeded to blow the crowd away. Rock and roll legend tells us that the first time that Buddy Holly showed up to play at the Apollo Theater, the audience, which to that point had only heard his records on the radio, was stunned to learn that he was white. When you hear a song on the radio, by an artist that you’ve never seen, you have no way of knowing if that artist is black, white, or any other color. As I’ve pointed out many times in this column, soul doesn’t know any colors.
