Ray Ruff & The Checkmates
Ray Ruff, famous legendary music industry record producer, was born Marvin Ray Ruffin on March 24, 1938 in Amarillo, Texas. He was playing semi-pro baseball for his city home team in 1955-56 when he met Charles Hardin Holley, a player on the Lubbock team and better known to the world as the legendary Rock'n'Roll performer Buddy Holly. Buddy invited him to come to Lubbock and visit him in 1956, which he did, and the next year Buddy invited Ray to meet his producer, Norman Petty, at Petty's recording studio in Clovis, New Mexico. Ray and Buddy became good friends, and were seen together many times before the "Day the Music Died" on February 3, 1959 when Buddy Holly died in a tragic plane crash while on a winter tour. After Buddy's passing, Ray often went down to Clovis to hang out with and play with the Crickets, and soon got his own rock band together, The Checkmates, who recorded from 1959 to 1964 on many small indie record labels, including Ray's own label, Ruff Records.
