Question: What famous Texas musician coined the term “music video”?
Answer: Jiles Perry Richardson, known as “The Big Bopper.” Born in Sabine Pass in 1930, he dropped out of college to work as a disc jockey and eventually got into recording. In 1958, he released his most famous song, “Chantilly Lace,” which he reportedly wrote in the backseat of a car while riding to a recording session. He produced a music video of himself singing the hit song, becoming the first to use that term in an interview with a British magazine.
