The West Texas Walk of Fame began as a tribute to Rock and Roll legend Buddy Holly in the late 70's. Larry Corbin and Jerry Coleman were in Nashville visiting their singer/songwriter friend Waylon Jennings. Waylon brought up the subject of recognizing Buddy Holly. This conversation culminated into a concept of honoring the growing list of famous artists and musicians who had come from West Texas. In 1983, Civic Lubbock Inc picked up the torch and mounted the dedication plaque and the induction plaques of Buddy Holly and Waylon Jennings and developed a criteria for future nominees. From its early beginning until today, the names of many musicians, artists, actors and entertainers have been honored in "The West Texas Walk of Fame." The West Texas Walk of Fame is located on the corner of 19th Street and Crickets Avenue across from the Buddy Holly Center.
