    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.

Elvis Presley reached a Billboard chart outside of Memphis for the first
time when "Blue Moon Of Kentucky" hit the top 10, #6 in Nashville and
#3 in New Orleans. The song had been written in 1946 by Bill Monroe
as a slow waltz, but Elvis and his band turned it into an upbeat, Blues- 
style number.
