    my favorite part of this video is when Rudy accepts the fact that his group has already accepted Ritchie and began playing to his song, so even though he's the last one to join, he starts "killin" it on the sax, and sounded a lot better than he did on the song he was playing when Ritchie walked up on 'em.

    Fun scene that had a big impact on my childhood. This movie introduced me to Ritchie Valens, which got me into Buddy Holly. And that served to broaden my listening from just the music of my day to that of the 50s and 60s--and later, through the centuries into Mozart, Bartok, Robert Johnson, Leadbelly, and on and on.
    The development of music is an ongoing journey. And there's always someone new to listen to and learn from.

    Well, it's Saturday night and I just got paid
    Fool about my money, don't try to save
    My heart says "go go, have a time"
    Cause it's Saturday night and I'm feelin' fine
    I'm gonna rock it up, I'm gonna rip it up
    I'm gonna shake it up, gonna ball it up
    I'm gonna rock it up, and ball tonight
    Got me a date and I won't be late
    Picked her up in my 88
    Shag on down by the union hall
    When the joint starts jumpin' I'll have a ball
    I'm gonna rock it up, I'm gonna rip it up
    I'm gonna shake it up, gonna ball it up
    I'm gonna rock it up, and ball tonight
    Long about ten I'll be flying high
    Walk on out unto the sky
    But I don't care if I spend my dough
    'Cause tonight I'm gonna be one happy soul
    I'm gonna rock it up, I'm gonna rip it up
    I'm gonna shake it up, gonna ball it up
    I'm gonna rock it up, and ball tonight🎤🎶

Either way, his songs, his story, and the fact NOONE has ever had anything but positive things to say about him let's me know he was a one and only spirit. His school he attended still honors him to this day. God only calls home the best at such a young age. The Latino movement he created, is made up of the best bands in the world. Even non-Latino bands like myself still can't get enough of the 17yr old Ritchie 60 years later. Long live Ritchie and his family
