I think we’re down to one cricket, a bee gee and a monkey

He wrote some memorable hits. The MTM theme was beautiful. R.I.P.

All that time, I thought it was lounge singer Jack Jones singing that theme song for Mary’s show.
Or Steve (& Edie) Lawrence.

“... following the death of Holly, Ritchie Valens, J.P. Richardson (“The Big Bopper”) and pilot Roger Peterson in a plane crash on Feb. 3, 1959.”

The day... the music... died.

It’s funny how time changes things.

I Fought the Law by the Clash is now a classic.

But it definitely wasn’t a hit, as this article describes it

It wasn’t even released in the US except as part of a bonus 7” single included with the second US release of a Clash album.
