ROCK STAR BORN ON THIS DAY IN 1930
Disc Jockey Richardson at KTRM (now KZZB) in Beaumont, Texas
Jiles Perry "J. P." Richardson, Jr. (October 24, 1930 – February 3, 1959)
The DJ turned rock star, who is best remembered for hit recording of “Chantilly Lace”,
died in a tragic plane crash along with legends Buddy Holly and young Ritchie Valens.
Richardson began his musical career as a songwriter. George Jones later recorded
his "White Lightning", which became Jones’ first #1 country hit in 1959. He also
wrote "Running Bear" for his friend Johnny Preston and is credited for making the
first music video in 1958.
