THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED - THE BIG BOPPER - J.P. RICHARDSON (43-part three)

The Big Bopper, J.P. Richardson, is best known for his hit record "Chantilly Lace." I never met J.P. so I have little personal to say about him. He's part of the history of rock and roll and Elvis and I did love "Chantilly Lace," that part about "a wiggle in her walk..." The thing about people at the height of their fame who die unexpectedly is that you never know what they would have become if they had lived. The death of JP, Ritchie Valens, and Buddy Holly had Buddy Knox and me wondering about our mortality.
