https://youtube HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BIG BOPPER!!!!! Artist : The Big Bopper Song: Chantilly Lace Chantilly Lace is the name of a rock and roll song written by Jerry Foster, Bill Rice, and Jiles Perry The Big Bopper Richardson, who released the song in 1958. The single was produced by Jerry Kennedy. Originally cut for Pappy Dailys D label, the recording was purchased by Mercury Records and released in the summer of 1958, just over six months after Chuck Berry released Sweet Little Sixteen, which uses the same chord progression. The song reached #6 on the pop charts and spent 22 weeks on the national Top 40. It was the third most played song of 1958. Jiles Perry J. P. Richardson, Jr. (October 24, 1930 – February 3, 1959), commonly known as The Big Bopper, was an American musician and songwriter, whose big voice and exuberant personality made him an early rock and roll star. He is best known for his 1958 recording of Chantilly Lace. On February 3, 1959 — a day that has become known as The Day the Music Died (because so called in Don McLeans 1971 song American Pie) — Richardson died in a plane crash in Iowa, along with Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and pilot Roger Peterson. /watch?v=jNrpAgTXiC4#ThrowBackThursday
