Jiles Perry Richardson was born on October 24,1930, in Sabine Pass,Texas.U.S.,he died on February 3,1959, while travelling on a chartered aircraft from Mason City,Iowa, to Moorhead,Minnesota, alongside fellow musical performers Buddy Holly,and Ritchie Valens,the pilot who also perished, was 21 year old Roger Peterson.The event is one of the main subjects of the classic 1972 song American Pie, by Don McLean (see also best songs 4.)
Prior to Richardson becoming a singer/songwriter, he worked as a DJ at ‘KTRM’ in Beaumont,Texas,he took his stage name The Big Bopper’ from the latest dance craze of the time,’The Bop.’At the time of his death, Richardson was at the start of what would have been a very successful career, as two of his songs both became massive hits for other artists,’Running Bear’ became a Number 1 song for Johnny Preston in 1960, and ‘White Lightnin” gave Country legend George Jones his first hit, in 1959.
‘There ain’t nothin’ in the world like a big eyed girl, that makes me act so funny,make me spend my money.’
