  • Jay Richardson Brushes Away Snow That's Drifted Around
    When popular Beaumont deejay J.P. Richardson died on Feb. 3, 1959, with Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens, he left behind more than ‘Chantilly Lace’ … he left a briefcase of songs never sung, a widow, a daughter and unborn son, and a vision of a brave new rock world By RON FRANSCELL Feb. 3, 2005 CLEAR LAKE, IOWA –Jay Richardson brushes away snow that’s drifted around the corpse-cold granite monument outside the Surf ballroom, the last place his dead father ever sang a song. Four words are uncovered: Their music lives on. But it’s just a headstone homily in this place where they say the music died. A sharp wind slices off the lake under a steel-gray sky. It’s the dead of winter and almost nothing looks alive here. The ballroom – a rock ‘n’ roll shrine that might not even exist today except for three tragic deaths – is locked up for the weekend. Skeletal trees reach their bony fingers toward a low and frozen quilt of clouds. A tattered flag’s halyard thunks against its cold, hollow pole like a broken church bell. And not a word is spoken. Richardson bows his head, as if to pray. This is a holy place to him. “I wish I hadn’t done that,” he says after a moment. Is he still haunted by the plane crash that killed a father he never knew? Can a memory be a memory if it’s only a dream? Why does it hurt him to touch this stone? “Cuz now my damn hand is cold,” Richardson says, smiling against the wind.

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) INFORMATION 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 eit- her song top the charts. But this generously full CD includes a lot of Bopper, starting with all known recordings: his unissued-at- the-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.

  • Ritchie Valens (Elementary School Version)
    Ritchie Valens (Elementary School Version) OVERVIEW ESSENTIAL QUESTION How did Ritchie Valens meld traditional Mexican music and Rock and Roll? OVERVIEW Ritchie Valens has become one of the most celebrated Rock and Roll musicians of the 1950s. His recording career lasted less than a year, cut short in February 1959, when he was killed in the same plane crash that took the lives of Rock and Roll star Buddy Holly and disc jockey/musician J.P. Richardson (better known as “The Big Bopper”). Valens released only two singles during his lifetime. The second, featuring the love ballad “Donna,” soared to No. 2 on the Billboard Pop singles chart and established Valens as a rising star. Newspaper accounts of his death referred to him as “a young sensation… rapidly becoming one of the hottest singing talents in the country,” and even “the next Elvis Presley.” But it was the B-side of that single, featuring the traditional Mexican wedding song “La Bamba,” that secured Valens’ legacy. The lyrics of the song were entirely in Spanish, sung over a tune that would have been immediately recognizable to most Mexican-Americans. Born Richard Valenzuela to a Mexican family in Southern California, Valens had played the song growing up and with various bands at school. His biographer reports that he may have been reluctant to record a Rock and Roll version of the song, both because he thought it might be disrespectful to the original and because he didn’t speak Spanish very well. But his recording, driven by Latin percussion, enjoyed commercial success—particularly for a single’s B-side— cracking the Top 40 and peaking at no.

  • Hht Tribute Salutes Buddy Holly and Legends of Rock N Roll
    PRESS RELEASE – October 7, 2019 Susan Carrier (951) 551-5363 [email protected] HHT TRIBUTE SALUTES BUDDY HOLLY AND LEGENDS OF ROCK N ROLL Before his untimely death at the age of 22, Buddy Holly was a rising star and a central figure in the evolution of Rock and Roll. In his seven year career, Holly recorded only three albums, but his impact on future artists was so significant that he was among the very first singers inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and he remains near the top of Rolling Stone's list of the greatest artists of all time. In 1959, Holly was killed in a plane crash along with Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper. In his iconic hit "American Pie" Don McLean memorialized the date as "The Day the Music Died." On Saturday October 26th, "Not Fade Away" will bring to the Historic Hemet Theatre their high energy tribute to Buddy Holly and the Legends of Rock n Roll. The band members (straight outta NYC) have performed in off-Broadway shows and dazzled audiences nationally in productions of The Buddy Holly Story, Ring of Fire, and Million Dollar Quartet. Together they have created a special tribute to the iconic music of Holly, Valens, The Big Bopper and other iconic Rock and Roll stars. Come watch as they dance, jump up on their instruments, play a solo behind their heads, and jump through ropes -- all to powerful renditions of the classic hit songs like "That'll Be The Day," "Peggy Sue," "Summertime Blues," "La Bamba," "Chantilly Lace," and "Twist and Shout." You've never seen a Buddy Holly show quite like this! This show will be the fifth in Season Three of the "Tribute Mania" Concert Series.

  • Ritchie Valens Biography
    Handout 2 - Ritchie Valens Biography Richard Steven Valenzeula was born into a Mexican-American family in Los Angeles, California, in May 1941. His parents struggled to make a living, though they were able to find temporary work in a nearby arms factory during World War II. While the Pacoima section of Los Angeles in which Valenzuela was raised had a strong Latinx community, it was also one of the few communities in Southern California that had an integrated population of whites, blacks, and Asian-Americans. Though Valenzuela spoke some Spanish, by most accounts English was his primary language. Valenzuela took up the guitar at a young age, and by the time he was a teenager had gained a local following, performing at parties and in local clubs. At 16, he joined a band called the Silhou- ettes, and caught the attention of a Hollywood music producer, Bob Keene, who owned a small label called Del-Fi Records. Valenzuela signed a recording contract with Keene shortly after his 17th birthday, and soon began recording under the name Ritchie Valens. Valens released only two singles during his lifetime. The first, “Come On, Let’s Go,” was a mod- est hit. His second single, the love ballad “Donna,” reached No. 2 on the Billboard pop chart. The B-side of the single was “La Bamba,” whose lyrics were entirely in Spanish. “La Bamba” reached No. 22. On February 3, 1959, a few months before his 18th birthday, Valens was killed in the notorious plane crash that also took the lives of Rock and Roll star Buddy Holly and singer/disc jockey J.P.

  • Holly Musical Recalls Rock Great's Life and Music
    Holly musical recalls rock great's life and music By KATHI SCRIZZI DRISCOLL STAFF WRITER February 17, 2011 11:27 AM Cape musician Robert Chandler – known everywhere, he says, as R.C. – sings and plays guitar with his '50s band Daddy-O! a few times a week. “Any night, anywhere I play,” he says, “I always get requests for Buddy Holly songs.” Even if they've played some, the requests still come – for hits like “Peggy Sue” or “That'll Be the Day” or more obscure choices. From baby boomers, from 20-somethings or from 12-year-olds. “What it is with all of his songs is that nothing is hidden, it's right there, it's very simple to understand,” R.C. says. Teenagers, he's found, know Holly's music better than any other recording artist from the '50s, even Elvis. “It supersedes age groups. It's timeless. ... Every single one of his songs we relate to immediately.” Perhaps that also helps to explain the success of “Buddy – The Buddy Holly Story,” a musical revue/biography billed as “the world's most successful rock 'n' roll musical.” Premiering here at Harwich Junior Theatre through March 20, the show has been playing around the world for 22 years, according to its website. It has played often enough, in fact, that there are actors who specialize in the title role. When director Mary Arnault was trying to cast the HJT production, she simply went on the website and found a host of resumes. The choice was Eric Labanauskas, a Midwest performer who last played Holly in Wisconsin and will reprise the role in April in Indiana.
