The Big Bopper - Cantilly Lace download song

When I listen to the Bopper, I can't help but smile, fun songs. Saw his son perform as him few years back, it was a nice tribute, but he's gone now too.  He kept the legacy of the father he never knew alive his whole life.

“And the three men I admire the most, The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost They caught the last train for the coast The day the music died” -- American Pie, Don McLean 57 years ago today, Feb. 3rd 1959, “The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost,” allegorical for Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J.P. ‘The Big Bopper’ Richardson, were killed in a plane crash.

Little Bopper passed away this morning around 4:00 AM. He wanted to get his dad, Big Bopper, into the Hall of Fame!

What a shame, he didn't live long enough to receive his gold record or royalties.  It was reported he only had $8.00 in his checking account when he died.

I seen the Big Bopper at the Bell Auditorium in Augusta Georgia.. 2 weeks later he died in that plane crash... So sad...

the man himself - AWESOME. : )

R.I.P. the big bopper, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens

If I could go back in time & throw a wrench in the plane's motor & keep it grounded for the night.

Mr. Big Bopper ! He lost his life in an ill-fated, nose-dive, aviation crash on Feb 3, winter 1959. . . A long time ago, with his friends, the great early Rocker, Buddy Holly and Richie Valens, who was an early Mexican American Rock & Roller. A later grave exhumation of the Big Bopper's coffin, revealed that the Big Bopper was remarkably well preserved despite having suffered some 200 bone fractures, sustained during the fatal crash. The reason for his exhumation was to lay to rest any possibility of gun shot wounds, as a gun was discovered on board, which had belonged to Buddy Holly. It was also speculated that The Bopper had tried to leave the crash scene, to seek help. But the coroner concluded the Bopper died on impact and had only been rolled away & separated from the wreck during the traumatic impact of the disabled Beach Bonanza aircraft, that winter night. RIP Brothers.

Timeless classic, don't make em like this anymore and it's a damn shame.
