@@rick1975100 The Day the Music Died is what February 3rd 1959 is known as. I am not saying that music qua music died. But on that day Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, and the Big Bopper all died in a plane crash. That is the history.
I remember when "La Bamba" came out in 1987. I was 12 years old, and my mom took me to see it. She started crying at the end, and I didn't get it back then. Knowing later that she was 22 and hanging out with her friends when it was announced that her heartthrob was killed along with Buddy Holy and The Big Bopper, I can't even imagine the heartbreak. 💔
Who knows ! But it's crazy how people get bigger when they passed away than when they're here giving us great jams to listen to . I feel like Ritchie valens would've moved onto like the style of Carlos Santana if he never got on that plane with buddy Holly and big bopper ! It sucks that they had to go through that tragedy ! I'm sure buddy Holly would've given us some great music also . I always looked at big bopper as a one hit wonder . But buddy Holly was a great song writer for being as young as he was and I could imagine the wild music he would've made during the hippie era
@@juanlopez4353 Have to agree. Ritchie Valens was much more mainstream than Santana. Valens was an outstanding POP songwiter and jad huge appeal to white kids, and hispanic kids. Valens would have been huge.
He was just a baby my God only 17!! Buddy was 22 and JP 27. And he was scared of flying. Could you imagine?? God bless them 3 so sad and tragic. Rest in peace.🙏🙏🙏😔
Well the sky belongs to the stars. I wonder were music especially my favorite genre rock would be if they hadnt passed. Well them plus a few others over time
@@celestinocantu6926 Since he was born in May 1941 and died in February 1959 (in the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and "The Big Bopper" J. P. Richardson) he was a few months shy of his 18th birthday.
I like occasional wrong notes and the sound of fingers on strings. Big stars who do unplugged performances are showing their lonely nights of solo practice roots.
When you look at what this kid accomplished at 17 like myself you will see your life as a waste. 4-5 hits, a part in a major motion picture, numerous tv appearances and he was seen as the biggest star to die the night the stars died, not Buddy Holly. Buddy Holly had not released a hit in quite a few months. He had been in the middle of evolving his music when he took a break to do the tour. His best was yet to come, but Ritchie had several hits on the radio at the time and was considered the biggest star in that moment. They were good friends Buddy and Ritchie. With Ritchie often filling in for Buddy's hurt drummer on the tour. We will never know what we missed out on. Buddy was going to transform music. He just wasn't given the chance. Ritchie accomplished all of what he did in 10 months. Now thats amazing.
In 1958 I was 10 years old and was I ever a Ritchie Valens fan. I had his 45's and even his 'B' sides were my favorite. "Come On Let's Go" - "Donna" - "La Bamba" - "Framed" - "The Paddiwack Song." I was so young and I don't know what it was that drew me to his music. RIP Ritchie ♥
Put it in perspective. 17 years old and passed away. Roughly eight to 10 months he was a musical sensation with raw talent. Nothing is ever been copied like this. Sure there's been young Talent that's came and went on to success but who knows with this Young man could have been. We will never know, but listen to the sound that he generated. He was still a child, still young too young to be drafted. I'm fifty-two so it's not like I grew up listening to him but I grew up listening to my dad's music which ranged from folk to Bluegrass aka Lester and Earl to Hendrix the fixx. Bono. When he passed away and I found Janis Joplin album also next to it was a flock of seagulls. In-between those two albums was everything else so I was lucky... Ritchie Valens is an incredible talent that will never be duplicated in this day and age or to come.
@@joemckim1183 kind of hard to imagine where he would have went. Most definitely would have got better with age. Some don't but he had it all the way. Great upbeat tempo to love songs
Maybe you never heard of Carol Kaye she recorded Ritchies guitar in the studio you only heard him play if you saw him live sorry broke my heart when i learned this
Je me souviens de cette début et dun film qui on fait pour lui partir bien trop vite si jeune la vie fait pas de cadeau 17ans il aurait fait un grand bout de chemin sil c'était pas écrasé c'est avion pauvre maman qui a lasser ainsi que son frère sa fait très mal 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹lina
Ritchie Valens was my grandpa's hero and he even styled his hair after him when he was a kid until the day he passed. He was so excited to see a Hispanic man making music and he gave me a love for his music as well. R.I.P Granpo, I miss you ❤
I today listen to his music and I'm just 30yrs old. Would have loved living in those days. Ed My father had a silver tone guitar and his friends made fun of him,he say good for Richie good for me. Just wanted to say that.
Reminds me of the 59 prom I Hermiston Ore I was 6th grade then went with my older brother I loved those can - cans the senior girls had at time . I was talking with 5 or 6 girls I treated them like Ladies then my brother said time to go Bill. True honest story .

In 1966 The McCoys did a pretty good cover of "come on let's go". It wound up peaking at #22 on the charts and I actually bought a copy of it. At the time I had never heard of Ritchie ( I was 14). Over the past 57 years I've come to love the music of Ritchie's time. I have an original Del-fi label copy of Donna/LaBamba on my jukebox which gets played often. Seen the movie "LaBamba" countless times. Been to the Surf Ballroom and the crash site while at the 2009 "50 Winters Later" show. Long live Rock & Roll!
The greatest man of the early 50's rock and roll and playing strings of this extremely dominated and powerful singer talented guitar instrumental at all time.

I was born in 1989 but the dancing that is seen in this video is an example of how people many years ago let loose and they didn’t live in fear. I mean I am sure there are still people who dance like this. But the fear was not there, and boy did people have energy
i cried the day i heard he and my idol buddy holly died...we were outide playing a ball game in my neighbors yard and i heard the news break on my transister radio.....yes....no telling how far this young man would have gone in popular music.....why do so many of the young singing innovators perish at so early an age? holly, valens, bopper, frankie lymon patsy cline, thomas wayne, hank williams, eddie chocran, johnny horton, jim reeves, johnny burnette, sam cooke, nat king cole, bill black, bobby fuller, ottis redding are among those i recall and loved to listen to...may all of them rest in peace with our Lord
Real dancing right there! My youngest brother and I used to dance together like that except for the fancy moves. Just the simple part of it. It was so much fun!

@AndyBenitez not a happy bunny as i was waiting for bruce springsteen to add glsgow onto his tour but nope then i thought ok travel to edinburgh for the best birthday of a lifetime as he plays there on my birthday .. still searching to buy two if anyone has any spare they wish to sell .. theres 2 up for sale at 730.00 pounds another wants 400.00 for two in which i noticed was way right up the back it would be hard to see the band from top tier especially in the last top row ..all i can do is hope theres a decent fan out there that cant manage to go but not asking for an arm n leg prices .. i get it people are out to make money .. bruce is my idol & im a true fan & due to all this i cant get to see him .. england hes doing quite a few gigs but only 1 night in edinburgh so us glasgow fans have no chance as scotland has only been given 1 night in edinburgh im going to have a rotten birthday now .. viagogo ticket prices are a joke too .. sorry about the long message andy rant over .. im not happy with the band for leaving us out that was & is not fair in the slightest 😭
He was in the national spotlight a little over four months but his legacy still lives on. This hit the Hot 100 on 9/22/1958. Love the 78 rpm shown. I believe this is a clip from the film "Go Johnny Go" which was released after Richie's passing.

@AndyBenitez not a happy bunny as i was waiting for bruce springsteen to add glsgow onto his tour but nope then i thought ok travel to edinburgh for the best birthday of a lifetime as he plays there on my birthday .. still searching to buy two if anyone has any spare they wish to sell .. theres 2 up for sale at 730.00 pounds another wants 400.00 for two in which i noticed was way right up the back it would be hard to see the band from top tier especially in the last top row ..all i can do is hope theres a decent fan out there that cant manage to go but not asking for an arm n leg prices .. i get it people are out to make money .. bruce is my idol & im a true fan & due to all this i cant get to see him .. england hes doing quite a few gigs but only 1 night in edinburgh so us glasgow fans have no chance as scotland has only been given 1 night in edinburgh im going to have a rotten birthday now .. viagogo ticket prices are a joke too .. sorry about the long message andy rant over .. im not happy with the band for leaving us out that was & is not fair in the slightest 😭

THE KING STILL IN 2024 INCLUDING ELVIS
This man was going to be a super legend, and he still was. Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Richie Vallens....
He was in the national spotlight a little over four months but his legacy still lives on. This hit the Hot 100 on 9/22/1958.
Love the 78 rpm shown. I believe this is a clip from the film "Go Johnny Go" which was released after Richie's passing.
Yep. I'm pretty sure the clip of him playing the guitar solo is from the movie, La Bamba.
Lol. 😂😂😂😂 Bob! It's like every family had a Bob!
Yes those are our grandparents, fit and agile. I think back then huge bodies was a foreign concept.
Love this song!! Unforgettable Ritchie Valens. Thanks for posting.
They were all babies rip young kings of music
This guy just oozed talent and charisma. I wish he had to chance to grow.
