On that same note, if Buddy had not got on that plane, Bopper&Richie may have just fadded away and forgot about!!!! Too bad any ofem got on it,,,, would've been great to see what they would be like today!!!

I got a computer about 4 yrs ago, untill I found this on youtube, I only heard Jerry Lee Lewis's version of Chantily lace(which was a great version of course) But no one does it like ths Big Bopper... If he's not in the R&Rhall of fame, he should be.
-
@teendude16 Because I don't think he was(big time) singin for very long before the plane crash. He was a D.J. before he started his singin career(I think others might know more details than I)...had he not got on that plane, I'm sure he would've got to be a bigger star before to long!!!

only ever heard chantily lace . Just listened to a dozen more songs on here, and he made some crackin tunes.

@ausserweltliche Indeed ! Cool sound.

@44t56 Thank you for the information, ya your right it is OUTRAGES, GREAT TALENT SHOULD BE CREDIT-ED. Thx.
-
@teendude16 It might be because he only had an 11 month recording career, but I don't know. What definitely played a part in it must have been his untimely death in the plane accident in February 1959. In fact, a lot of 50's artists aren't in the Hall of Fame, which is an outrage
-
@teendude16 ...because the rock and roll hall of fame isn't very good, to say the least. I totally agree Bopper deserves loads more credit for his music :)
-
I see, thank you.
-
@teendude16 True but he is in the Rockabilly-Hall of Fame



wOOW WHAT A TUNE,, THIS BIG BOPPER, IS A BIG TALENT, AND FUNNY TOO, HOW COME HE DID NOT GET MORE CREDIT?, HE DESERVES TO BE IN THE ROCK N' ROLL HALL OF FAME, HOW COME HE'S NOT????????????????.

I love this guy. He and Chuck Berry were my Dad's favorite artists (my Dad grew up in the 50s). I heard my Dad's old LPs of these artists when I was I kid. Good Stuff.
As for the controversy about finally inducting him into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, I have to agree with Paullonnden.
Does Rock in Roll really need a Hall of Fame?? Wasn't it supposed to be rebelious music, shoving your middle finger at society?
And it's based in Cleveland of all places????
