My Brothers deserve to see their grandfather indicted into the hall of fame after everything that has went on. I'm glad to see someone fighting to get it done. The big Bopper is well deserving of it. Thank you.

The Big Bopper is a loved icon and deserves to be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame along side Richie Valens and Buddy Holly

JP "The Big Bopper" Richardson Was Not Only A Great Disc Jocky, He Was Also A Great Rock N Roll Artist. He Was A Talanted Young Man. Having The Big Bopper In The Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame Will Be A Special Way For Him To Be Remembered. He Left Behind A Great Legacy.

Re:

 JP Richardson was an early inovative force in the music industry not only as a World record breaking DJ,

but A top recording artist

and A hit making songwriter 

Also A he made the first Rock and Roll video 

He was way before his time infact he was a genius and I am proud to say Im going to do my damnedest to get him the recognition he deserves

I would like to see his music videos. Many today just ruin the song and the 'video' already of my imagination.

The Big Bopper was a tremendous talent with behind the scenes projects that created and furthered the rock & roll movement. He did all the things that the R&R Hall of Fame says Connie Francis didn't do, which are keeping her out of the Hall of Fame

Bopper deserves to be honored for his mark on history! Met John Cumberland and team at Nashville Palace, across the street from the Grand Ole Opry. Great cause, worth a signature! Plus, the guy knew his football!

Buddy got in, why not bopper?

The Bopper certainly deserves to be in the Hall of Fame, alongside so many of his peers.

The man with the first music video deserves a historical recognition.

I met John Cumberland at the Texas East Coast museum in Port Arthur, TX. His passion and enthusiasm for this cause motivated me to sign.

The big bopper deserves to be in the hall,he should of been there along time ago!!!!

Fingers crossed John can get JP Richardson into the R&R Hall of fame where he belongs

I signed to help bring awareness to the impact that J. P. Richardson (The Big Bopper) had on late '50's Rock 'n' Roll. He should be inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame ASAP. I admire John Cumberland's efforts to get this done, and, I particularly applaud his visit to Sugar Hill Studios, here in Houston, to record his magnificent song, "Bopper and Me". The Holy Rocka Rollaz were the perfect choice, as was Sugar Hill. Whenever you visit Sugar Hill, you are reminded of all the great hits that were recorded there.  I have been in radio for 54 years, 45 of them in Houston, and it would be a great day when The Big Bopper is inducted.

gtragic oversight not being in R and R hall of fame
Guest#70 Mar 06, 2016, 06:32
Big Bopper was an icon of that era and made many contributions to rock n roll in the 50s
Guest#71 Mar 07, 2016, 09:45
Recognition For J.P.'s contribution to music is long overdue!
Guest#72 Mar 07, 2016, 23:51
I love Bopper and he also was an accomplished song writer on top of just being a novelty act. He's long overdue.
Guest#73 Mar 11, 2016, 17:43
He needs to be there.

We are going to try to have the J. P. Richardson's birthday, October 24, designated as Big Bopper Day in Beaumont.

He was an original!
