In Brooklyn NY we used to dance "The Fish" to this..it was dancin' close, swayin' from left to right & shuffling feet...nice & tite...When it was "fun" to be young..We knew it, enjoyed it, lived it...The day they died I was in church with my friends..& we were all shocked..What a waste..Thank God that the Beatles came along & imitate the "Crickets" to perfection & also their maintaining the R&R Banner High Internationally. Peace, Love & a smile VIVA MARIA!
This person named, "The Big Bopper", has written other songs, and was a real nice person, I read about them. Why has THE BIG BOPPER, HAVE NOT BE PUT IN "THE ROCK N' ROLL HALL OF FAME", YET,????????. tHE ARE GREAT, PLEASE PUT PRESSURE ON THE ROCK N' ROLL HALL OF FAMERS TO PUT THE BIG BOPPER IN THERE LIST OF GREATS, ITS REAL SAD OTHERWISE. tHANK YOU FOR AGREAT VIDEO.
For a guy who was around as a singer for such a short time he sure made a lot of records! Johnny Winter told me that he used to listen to the Big Bopper's radio show when he was growing up in Beaumont. Waaaay cool!
Wow I have not heard this song in over 30 years. For the heck of it I did a search for this and BINGO. I had Boppers greatest hits on 8 track, It got chewed up around 75 or so and I could never find another copy. Thanks for posting this, I'm going to check out your other stuff too. Great Music...

Mahtava esitys, olen kuullut taman muiltakin laulajilta, mutta oletan etta tama
alkuperainen? En ole varma?
