Die beste Würdigung für den Künstler, der mit Buddy Holly und Ritchie Valens umkam - 'am Tag als die Musik starb'! Mit dem unvergessenen Riesen-Hit Chantilly Lace! Und mit Big Boppers Originalfassung von White Lightning, das George Jones zum Hit machte! Die CD enthält außerdem extrem seltene Big-Bopper-Titel sowie Tribute- und Antwortlieder von Eddie Cochran, der Rockabilly-Legende Ray Campi und Jayne Mansfield (ja, von DER Jayne Mansfield!) -- Als Big Bopper mit Buddy Holly und Ritchie Valens beim selben Flugzeugabsturz ums Leben kam, hatte er bis dahin lediglich zwei Hits verbuchen können - aber sein tragischer Tod 'am Tag, als die Musik starb' sorgte zugleich für seine künstlerische Unsterblichkeit. Und in der Tat war seine Karriere viel interessanter als die vergleichbarer Ein- oder Zwei-Hit-Wunder. Zum Beispiel komponierte er viele andere Hits. Seine eigene Fassung von White Lightning ist hier enthalten (er schrieb den Titel, der zum #1-Country-Hit für George Jones wurde); außerdem stammt Johnny Prestons #1-Pop-Hit Running Bear von ihm, nur nahm er den nie selbst auf. Leider hat er nicht mehr erlebt, wie diese Songs zu großen Erfolgen wurden. Natürlich präsentiert diese gut gefüllte CD 'Bopper satt' - zum einen Bekanntes wie seine allererste Einspielung von 1954 (die damals unveröffentlicht blieb), seine äußerst seltenen frühen Rock 'n' Roll-Singles für Mercury, seine Originalaufnahme von Chantilly Lace und seine Original-LP. Aber das Angebot ist noch größer: Zu den Tribute- und Antwortlieder gehören Eddie Cochrans Three Stars, Ray Campis The Man I Met (A Tribute To The Big Bopper), Donna Damerons Bopper 486009 und sogar das von Chantilly Lace abgeleitete That Makes It von Jayne Mansfield. Außerdem gibt es im Booklet rare, unveröffentlichte Fotos aus dem Besitz von Big Boppers Familie und die erste umfangreiche Biographie, geschrieben von Johnette Duff.
The ultimate tribute to the artist who died alongside Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens on 'The Day The Music Died'! -- Includes the all-time smash hit Chantilly Lace! Plus the Big Bopper's original version of the hit he wrote for George Jones, White Lightning -- Also includes ultra-rare recordings by the Big Bopper - as well as tribute records and sequels by Eddie Cochran, rockabilly legend Ray Campi, and Jayne Mansfield (yes, THAT Jayne Mansfield) -- When the Big Bopper died in the plane crash that took the lives of Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens, he'd scored just two hits, but his tragic death on 'The Day The Music Died' ensured his immortality. And it turns out he had a far more interesting career than most one or two hit wonders. For one thing, he wrote several other hits. His original version of George Jones' #1 country hit White Lightning is included here (he also wrote but never recorded Johnny Preston's #1 pop hit Running Bear). Sadly, he never saw either song top the charts. But this generously full CD includes a lot of Bopper, starting with all known recordings: his unissued-atthe-time first recording from 1954, his fabulously rare early rock 'n' roll singles for Mercury, his original recording of Chantilly Lace and the follow-up, and his original LP. But there's more: Big Bopper sequels and tributes include Eddie Cochran's Three Stars, Ray Campi's The Man I Met (A Tribute To The Big Bopper), Donna Dameron's sequel, Bopper 486009, and even JayneMansfield's Chantilly Lace spin-off, That Makes It. Add to that, rare and unpublished photos from the Big Bopper's family as well as the first comprehensive biography by Johnette Duff.
