Real name J. P. Richardson. Best known for the song ‘Chantilly Lace,’ The Big Bopper was killed in a plane crash along with Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens on the morning on February 3, 1959. DS, signed “J. P. Richardson,” two pages, 8.5 x 14, December 11, 1958. Agreement between Richardson and the Big Bopper Music Company for the transfer of the rights, titles, and interest to the unpublished original song ‘Big Love.’ Richardson will receive three cents per copy of regular piano copies or orchestration sold in the US, 50% of the licensing, 50% of the record sales in the US and Canada, and 50% earned for public performances. Signed on the second page by Richardson, and also signed by William G. Hall as representative for the Big Bopper Music Company. Removably matted by its corner tips, and framed along with a mint copy of the ultra rare first press version of ‘Chantilly Lace’ on the little known “D” label out of Dallas, Texas, to an overall size of 24.5 x 29. In fine condition, with punch and staple holes to top, as well as a light paperclip impression to top edge, expected folds, and some mild toning to right edge of both sheets. Just a month later, the ‘Bopper’ would embark on the 1959 Winter Dance Party. Oversized.
