This is one of the guys responsible for all of this….

"…long long time ago…."

If Jiles Perry "J. P." Richardson, Jr. was still with us, he would have had 91 candles on his birthday cake today. You will know him better by his stage name " The Big Bopper." He is best known for his 1958 recording of "Chantilly Lace".

He found work in radio in Texas but was soon drafted. Following his discharge as a corporal in March 1957, he went back to KTRM radio where he held down the "Dishwashers' Serenade" shift from 11 am to 12:30 pm, Monday through Friday. One of the station's sponsors wanted Richardson for a new time slot, and suggested an idea for a show. Richardson had seen college students doing a dance called The Bop, and he decided to call himself "The Big Bopper". His new radio show ran from 3:00 to 6:00 pm, and he soon became the station's program director.

In May 1957, he broke the record for continuous on-air broadcasting by 8 minutes. He performed for a total of five days, two hours, and eight minutes from a remote setup in the lobby of the Jefferson Theatre in downtown Beaumont, playing 1,821 records and taking showers during 5-minute newscasts.

Richardson is credited for creating the first music video in 1958, and recorded an early example himself.

Being a guitar player, he began his musical career as a songwriter. George Jones later recorded Richardson's "White Lightning", which became Jones' first #1 country hit in 1959 ( #73 on the pop charts). Richardson also wrote "Running Bear" for Johnny Preston, his friend from Port Arthur, Texas. The inspiration for the song came from Richardson's childhood memory of the Sabine River, where he heard stories about Indian tribes. Richardson sang background on "Running Bear", but the recording was not released until August 1959, seven months after his death. The song become a #1 hit for three weeks in January 1960.

The man who launched Richardson as a recording artist was Harold "Pappy" Daily from Houston. Daily was promotion director for Mercury and Starday Records and signed Richardson to Mercury. Richardson's first single, "Beggar to a King", had a country flavor, but failed to gain any chart action. He soon cut "Chantilly Lace" as "The Big Bopper" for Pappy Daily's D label. Mercury bought the recording and released it in the summer of 1958. It reached #6 on the pop charts and spent 22 weeks in the national Top 40.

On February 3, 1959, Richardson died in a plane crash in Clear Lake, Iowa, along with music stars Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens and pilot Roger Peterson. The accident was famously eulogized as "The Day the Music Died" in Don McLean's 1971 song "American Pie".

Happy Birthday J.P. We wish we could have heard more….

Many will remember him also from the power rock trio West, Bruce and Laing where he played with fellow Mountain member Corky Laing and former Cream bassist Jack Bruce.

OK, Mississippi Queen. You all know that song. If someone who wasn't familiar with Leslie's work and wanted you to recommend another song he did, what other song would say?

We lost Leslie last Dec. 23.

Happy Birthday Leslie. RIP and thanks for the music.
