The Big Bopper, Jr.

THE BIG BOPPER, JR.

In time, the Big Bopper’s son, Jay Perry Richardson learned of his father’s career. He sounded and looked a lot like his famous father, so he began recording and touring as a tribute to his father under the name the Big Bopper, Jr. Jay Perry Richardson is now in the process of recruiting other musicians to provide music for the Big Bopper’s final songs and release them in a series of albums; a concert was also planned on the 55th anniversary of the airplane crash on February 3, 2014.
