LOVE Ritchie Valens.

Man, that guy showed so much potential and he was only 17. Such a shame that he and Buddy Holly died in that plane crash. :(

If you aren't familiar with him, you are grandly missing out. :cool:

Now, be honest. Do you love Ritchie Valens strictly due to La Bamba...or did you really love his music for what it was and not just Lou Diamond Phillips?

Well yeah, I watched the movie. That's how I was introduced. But I did go and grab a compilation of every existing track he recorded soon afterwards.

Besides, he's got more than "La Bamba."

There's "Donna," "Come On Let's Go," "Ooh My Head" and others. :cool:

hey me 2!!
I even owned the motion picture soundtrack on LP.
I always used to cry in the end too even though I knew what was going to happen after the first time round.

That movie is the shit. We had to watch it for my Spanish class in high-school and I was one of the only suckers that already knew the songs he was singing.

Listening to oldies radio gives you street cred, folks.
