Lou Diamond Phillips actually wanted to play Bob and Esai Morales wanted to play as Richie. It was decided though that Lou fit Richie's character better, and likewise for Esai. And I'd definitely say it worked out wonderfully. 💯💯
Despite their troubles when Ritchie was alive, Bob and their mother Connie was Ritchie's biggest supporters. Bob has been true to his brother's memory.
Watching him in this clip makes you realize just how great of a job Esai Morales did in playing him. He sounds and talks just like in the movie. It's pretty crazy how accurately he was portrayed. La Bamba is the realest movie out there that's based on a true story, we can thank Ritchie's family for that. They were very involved in the making of this movie. The movie is pure authenticity, no bullshit.
I Know Ritchie's family. His mom and my mom were friends. I did a lot of the research that went into Ritchie Valens biography. Ritchie was going to Pacoima Junior High and briefly San Fernando High School. He was never working in a Farm Workers camp. That part of the story comes from Luis Valdez and his brother Danny Valdez.. Riychie's aunt Ernestine Reyes who Ritchie lived with during his short career, was shocked when she read the script because she knew there were a lot of things in there that just were not true. " Ritchie didn't wear a rattlesnake necklace, he wore a Saint Christopher's necklace!" She told me. I appreciate how the movie made Millions more people know about Ritchie Valens. And I understand that Luis Valdez who I met and audition for, needed to tell a good story and get the movie done with the incomplete information that they had about Ritchie's life at that time.
@@bobblehead7732 Nope. Bob Morales and Ritchie were blood brothers. He LOVED his little brother dearly and was proud of him. He chaperoned him during his Career, and backed out on joining him on the 1959 Winter Dance Party because Ritchie was super excited about Buddy Holly. Buddy was his HERO. The Movie did change a few thing: For one, Bob made money customizing Bikes and Auto Detailing and never sold Illegal Drugs, two, yeah he did smoke weed(He's a bit stoned in this interview), and three he was married twice. His first Wife was Rosetta Avila, she forced him to attend the Baby Shower for their daughter(his first child) instead of him being able to take the Bus to Burbank after he had won the $500 Disney Cleanup Artist Contest. Walt Disney himself HAD offered him a Job as a Cleanup Artist(Bob ALMOST got to Work on the Sword and the Stone) and had plans on hiring Morales as his first Latina Artist. Morales was VERY talented at storyboarding, and was crushed and heartbroken when he was forced to miss the opportunity to Bus ride to Burbank,CA after Rose nagged him over and again that if he missed the Shower, he was a Deadbeat walking out of her and their Baby. Connie originally supported Bob's decision to go to Burbank, but Rose talked her into forcing him to attend the Shower. So although the film made it look like Connie told Bob no and attend the shower, it was his first WIFE that talked him out of going by nagging the hell out of him. Connie was PROUD of her boys and supported Bob's dream of becoming a Cleanup Artist for Walt Disney, she NEVER had any favoritism toward Ritchie or Bob. Ironically, Bob was set to Drive to Burbank with Ritchie on February 20,1959 (The Tour was set to finally end February 17th and Bob had agreed to pick Ritchie up and take him back to Pacoima)to get him signed to Capital Records for help in distributing his Debut LP and Bob had once again been offered to do Cleanup work for Walt Disney. The February 3rd Tragedy, absolutely destroyed all hopes of any of these events occurring. The Movie Sorta of got right how Bob got the News. He WAS up that Tuesday Morning at 8 AM and WAS working on his 1942 Chevy fixing the Transmission mount on top instead of the Gear Solenoid in the film version when the Radio flashed by Bob Hale "We've been furiously been trying to tell a story, a story that ended tragically Early this morning in a Sad death that took 3 names in the Music Business. A Small Plane carrying them, went down outside of Clear Lake,IA around 1 AM this morning. Claiming the lives of 4 young men including the pilot. The Musicians identified killed in this crash were Buddy Holly 22, of Lubbock,TX, Ritchie Valens 17, of San Fernando and Jiles Richardson 28, of Beaumont,TX also known as the Big Bopper". As soon as Ritchie's name was mentioned on the Radio, Bob panicked, jumped up and ran to their Mother's house, before he did Rosa was sobbing when she implied that Ritchie indeed was on the Plane. Bob actually ran home shouting "MAMA!MAMA! Before he saw her surrounded by people carrying Ritchie's photo. He fell to his knees in anguish. "It was like a Neverending Bad Dream I couldn't wake up from. I wanted to wake up. I wanted it just be a Nightmare I was having. I wanted my Brother to be there with me, with us, Alive and Well. But it was Reality. It was a CRUEL reality. A Sad Joke. Mama got it the worst. Losing a Child is a EVERY parent's Worse Nightmare. My Mom never got over Ritchie's passing. I spent 1959-1960 in desolation and Anger. I was angry at God. At the World. My Brother was only 17. He was just a Kid. How could God allow this to happen? How could he take my little brother away from us like that?The World was ROBBED. Ritchie coulda REALLY made an impact and opened the door for us Latinos. Donna's father was Racist. He forced her to skip Ritchie's First Tour Trip Party. Donna REFUSED to believe that Ritchie was on the Plane. She lived in DENIAL about it and kept telling our baby sister Con Con that Ritchie was going to come home. Other Students actually jeered her and bullied her about the news. Reality for Con Con and Donna set in the next day. They broke down with my Mama"
Esai Morales' performance was unreal. He played Bob with soul and turned what could have been a cardboard caricature into a complicated and beautiful portrait. Love his performance, my favorite of the picture.
In my opinon, I know Ritchie Valens was amazingly talented, but his brother wasn't acknowledged as much. To me he too had talent especially on the drums and the drawings! Bob you are incredible!! In many ways your mom showed her love to you In her own ways 🙏❤😊
True that Bob was suffering due to that and I believe he was neglected. His mom did not show support at all mybe its because of Bob fathers coz most mothers they turn to hurt the child due to breakups and Bob and said something that his step dad said Ritch will take over the world while he never got that from the man he thought was his dad. His been through a lot. Even said what about me it's always Ritchie That hits home
I love the medicine man from the movie, "life is a snake crawling out of its own dead skin", and "to live is to sleep and to die is to awaken", deep stuff.
Wow Bob was truly a very handsome guy. Esai Morales did a very good interpretation of Bob in the movie . They both really look alike and even sound the same . Crazy thing is both Bob and Esai last names is Morales . I guess is a Morales thing lol
He seems like he has been struggling in life but kept holding back all the years with his brother Ritchie and i can't believe he went through this interview but we're able to see that he has'nt let go of what he was struggling all his life. I really feel empathy for him hope i could've met him in person and talked to him as a friend even though it would not be easy talking to him because you really would'nt know what his reaction would be, best it's just to leave him continue his way of life.You cannot help someone who does'nt want it.Just assuming that would be the situation on me trying to help.RIP Bob Morales🙏
He may have had dreams about the plane crash. It was a very traumatic experience for him. No one I interviewed recalled him talkin about that dream. But he did talk about his song Turkish town coming to him in a dream. By the way that is me interviewing Bob Morales in the UA-cam video clip.
Sal if Ritchie never worked in a migrant camp, didn't the family spend time near Watsonville? The hill is even known as Ritchie Valens hill, unless that was named after the movie
He seemed very indifferent about his brother and his death. He even said he didn't even realize his brother had any effect on his life until 2 years before this interview when the movie started production and stuff. Strange.
3:01 and on, that’s so Esai Morales (time of voice), he’s a genius, he portrays him so good. Awesome video, and great quality for the time (as Bob mentions the movie hadn’t even came out yet).
Man, another honor they gave Ritchie a few years ago Ritchie Valens' version of "La Bamba" was selected by the U.S. Library of Congress for preservation in the National Recording Registry as "culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant". In the movie, I felt more for the brother. Of course even though the movie is great many parts of it was fictional. Need to read a book about his biography
I wish they did a follow up movie to see how their lives changed decades after ritchie passed away. Seems like this Bob had a different mindset as he got older
Crazy, this was 1985, the year I graduated HS in the San Fernando Valley. Then 2 years later I would be in a small scene in LA Bamba. RIP to both Ritchie and Bob.🙏🙏🕊🕊
@@gerardoneri5115 The part where he's delivering pizza to a girl's house. A bunch of us run outside to greet him.. I'm directly behind him grabbing his shirt lol.. It's a very brief scene.
@@michellerene951 ima check it out after I finish cleaning my apartment lol. I watched La Bamba when I was 10 years old and I fell in love with the movie and of course Ritchie. Now I'm 34 and I watched the movie countless times. Haven't watched it in a while but I've been on a Ritchie Valens' music binge for the past 3 days for no reason. Wow you must feel awesome that you got to be a part of the movie. What an incredible experience that was for you I'm sure. Thank you for sharing Michelle. Greetings from Houston, Texas.
Bob looks great for his age and their mother was very beautiful. Ritchie Valens looked way older than 17years young. Thus wow was Ritchie talented. Keep singing 🎶 for the Almighty GOD. Sincerely 🎈 Minister Donna Camille Eckhardt ✈ Founder of Effectual Fervent Prayer Ministry. JESUS IS THE answer for the world today. We will overcome!!!!
Bob was my favorite in the movie. He looked just like my big brother who comited suicide when i was 11. I'm 40 now but when i watch the movie i still see my big brother.
This interview was asking so many questions about Richie that I felt like the real life Bob was gonna say "you always worried more about Richie, what about me".
Man As Much As I Admire Ritchie Valens I Admire Bob Morales Morales Are Strong Blood Man My Moms Last Name Is Morales From The Rio Grande Valley And We Are Strong
When I saw the movie, La Bamba, it broke my heart, such a tragedy, what intrigued me is back in the days people found out everything thru the Radio, now people find out things thru a dam apps, called Tiktok or any social media platform. We have come a long way with technology, sad 😔 that people find out a love one has passed away through a post..😭😵😔💔
Bob is my cousins grandfathers! Brenda is their mother, i’m not too close with them as they are my dads cousins and my second cousins but we all share the same last name
Well he outlived his brother his mom it should of been ritchie outliving them not bob sad shit to say but bob is older the oldest dies first hope that doesn't sound fucked up just saying Ritchie shoulda outlived them since he was the youngest how would u feel if u outlived ur fam thier rooms you'd be waiting for them to come back then you would remember they're gone never coming back now there probably is an afterlife but as far as we know we're not sure
RIP to Bob Morales. But will always remember the best line that Esai did in La Bamba: "No lie dude, I mean, the pendejo was smoking weed. He was smoking DUKE WEED." "Take a hit, babe. Put a little mota in our loave life." "Baby, I need some ACTION tonight." LOL
I believe richie among other Chicano musicians at that time,paved the way other Chicano musicians...and yes. Esai Morales outdid himself,excellent work. He almost stole the movie and outshined richie...
RIP Bob Morales, he is now reunited with his little brother and Mother.
June Giovanni true he’s probably very happy to see Ritchie
They're reunited
😇💜
May they both rest in peace.
Oh wow! I’m just now finding out that Bob passed away... 11/20/19..... when did he pass away?
I think the actor who played Bob did a great job he captured the mannerisms and escense of Bob...seems like the same guy, only older
Yes, and they had the same last name!
Esai Morales
Lou Diamond Phillips actually wanted to play Bob and Esai Morales wanted to play as Richie.
It was decided though that Lou fit Richie's character better, and likewise for Esai. And I'd definitely say it worked out wonderfully. 💯💯
Esai Morales.... he actor even had the same last name
I completely agree LIngaster Eramus.
I just watched the movie and I cry my eyes out every time
Esai Morales took the roll on playing Bob Morales very seriously. He even spoke just like him. I love it
@Godzilla They do, although no relation. Bob was of Mexican descent. Esai is of Puerto Rican descent. 😎
That's what struck me as well. He nailed the vocal inflections of Bob perfectly.
A trip they had the same last name as well
@@floydthebarber9956 Are ya'll even aware that's how Esai really talks? Take the movie called My Family for example...
Esai deserved a godam Oscar for his great form in this role.
There was more RACISM in 1987, to give the Oscar to a hispanic actor!!
true
Yes he did. Even more than Lou!
At minimum, Esai deserved an Oscar nomination!
He didn’t deserve no damn Oscar
Despite their troubles when Ritchie was alive, Bob and their mother Connie was Ritchie's biggest supporters. Bob has been true to his brother's memory.
Bob is fierce, even at that age. You can see it in the way he speaks and holds himself. Eye of the tiger
Watching him in this clip makes you realize just how great of a job Esai Morales did in playing him. He sounds and talks just like in the movie. It's pretty crazy how accurately he was portrayed.

@smoothygroovy anger? Nobody's angry.
I agree, definitely no anger at all! 😯@@ElGaby323
That ending when he yells out Richie’s name is just 💔...
😢😢😢
Love Richie
Even THINKING about it rips my heart out. God, what a story
😢😢
did that happen in real life?
Richie was a Chicano Icon. A positive role model for all.
Not just a Chicano icon, a LATINO icon!

You could tell he still missed his brother.
of course he "still" misses his brother. when it comes to losing a loved one, youll never stop. only grieving gets easier to manage

Bob is my great great great grampa
Long life for valenzuelas family
I believe richie among other Chicano musicians at that time,paved the way other Chicano musicians...and yes. Esai Morales outdid himself,excellent work. He almost stole the movie and outshined richie...
The story of Ritchie Valens is just too sad!
It would have been nice to see the mural!
He was sooo good in his role as Bob!
Love u Bob !!!!!!!
I can’t find a picture of him from when Bob was younger as a teen
Funny thing, Bob has the same last name as the actor Esai Morales who played him in the film La Bamba.
