@24surfgirl He was also good friends with George Jones, who is also form Texas.

My jaw dropped the first time I heard this! What a great singer he was,no mere one hit novelty song singer.
-
Ritchie won his seat in a coin flip, where the bopper was given his seat by Waylon due to being sick. And since Buddy paid for the plane he got a seat no matter what. Its kinda of sad that the one of the two that lived all he wanted was to be a background guy, Yes I am refering to the less known Tommy Alsup.

He really did have a rather nice sounding quality to his singing voice. Rest in Peace, my Friend.

@24surfgirl no, the story is he ritchie and buddy and dion were on tour. there were only three seats on the plane. dion and ritchie flipped a coin to see who got the seat and who had to ride a bus with no heat. ritchie won the flip.

Did you know J.P Richardson was the innovator of the music video? and that his name is still not in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame? Let's change that, shall we? please write, no emails, to The Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame Foundation 1290 Avenues of America, New York, NY 10404, and please request his induction for the innovation of the music video... you wouldn't be watching this, if not for him.
Thank You

He and Waylon Jennings were actually really good friends and he was from Texas. So country wasn't a big stretch for him I'm sure. Actually, it was Waylon who was supppose to be on the infamous plane with Buddy and Ritchie. But The Bopper got really sick and asked Waylon to take his seat, and, well, you all know the rest. RIP.
