Lip syncing to the music of Los Lobos, no other band could've done Ritchie justice like they did! RIP to the "Three Stars" sung about so beautifully by Buddy's good friend Eddie Cochran ❤❤
I remember when I was a little kid my mom would play this movie, it was probably the first 50s rock n roll song I ever heard. Ever since I’ve always loved 50s music. I was born in 96
I've seen this movie multiple times. All his songs were fire. It' sad he left us so early in his career and so young. RIP. Other Come on, let's go, Donna, We belong together, Ooh, my head, That's my little Suzie, an Boney-Moronie.
You should watch the movie 'La Bamba' starring Lou Diamond Phillips as Ritchie Valens. He did a fantastic job of portraying Ritchie. I grew up listening to music from the 50's (I was born in '61 - rocking 60 yrs old now!!). I just love rock-n-roll. Taught my son the love of rock too. When he was a teen he would tell me & his dad to "turn it down" when we would start jamming with the stereo. LOL. Now he's a musician and artist himself. I so enjoy watching those of you from the younger generations discover & fall in love with the music I grew up with. Keep on Rockin!
Richie Valens was killed in a helicopter crash with The Big Bopper and Buddy Holly. They were leaving a concert at the surf ballroom in clear lake, Iowa. Don McLean's song, American Pie, is written about the tragedy 😢.
Richie Havens Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper we're all killed in a plane crash in 1963. The song American Pie by Don McLean is supposed to be about this
"Fake Richey" is Lou Diamond Phillips. You probably know him from other stuff, but I couldn't tell ya what he's been in in the past 20 years, because I gave up on keeping track of TV and the movies about then.
It was so good, that Selena made a cover for it. Both version are great just depending on what style you're looking to hear. Makes me think they could do a mash-up for another land of the dead movie like coco
The sad thing was Ritchie Valens hated flying and didn’t want to go on the plane but was going to take a bus I believe to there next gig. But went on the plane by a coin toss.
Little known fact: Waylon Jennings was the bass player in Buddy Holly's band. From what I have been told Waylon is the guy who actually lost the coin toss to Ritchie. The last time. Waylon Jennings remembered talking to Buddy Holly, the frontman was chiding him for chickening out of the plane ride. "I hope your damn bus freezes up again," Holly said, smiling. Jennings replied with the words that haunted him for years: "Well, I hope your ol' plane crashes." Makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up, doesn't it?
Oh man! Some how I lost my second comment. SMH. Just when the live chat had finished. I pressed send. Not sure what happened to it. Oh well.. All I had said was Los Lobos does a great version of La Bamba. Los Lobos has even played at the White House for Prez Obama! 🙌
This is definitely from the movie, and this version of La Bamba is by Los Lobos. For more Lobos awesomeness I recommend Kiko and the Lavender Moon, and look up the day the music died.
Val-Nz not Vail-Nz,,, heheh saw this movie in the drive-in,, thats right i said drive in lol,.,..,first time i saw my mom cry at a movie, never understood why, but growing up i understood it was the death of Son, and she had 2,,, lov eya reaction, these bring up awsum memories
This was a clip from the movie "La Bamba" and the group "Los Lobos" Good movie, but NOT Ritchie Valens. only the story of...... "Donna" is also a great, original (Love)song and a true story from Ritchie......
WHAT IS WITH ALL YOU PEOPLE HERE -- THIS IS A MOVIE -- IT'S NOT RICHIE VALENS -- WHAT'S UP -- FIND A TRACK -- OR A VIDEO FROM THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW OR SOMETHING - WE DON'T COME HERE TO WATCH MOVIES ABOUT THE ARTISTS WE COME TO HEAR THE ORIGINAL.
This is not Ritchie Valens original version of this song. It is a cover by the band Los Lobos performing and singing with actor Lou Diamond Philips lip syncing for a movie in 1987. You are NOT hearing Ritchie Valens. I'm out.
