@ohheyjaqueleen you can find it while typind " the day that rock die " or somehting . i dont remember the name of the song . but lots of artists did a tribute
The funny thing was, at the time, the event was not really big news. The front page covered another plane crash, a passenger jet in the East River in New York City. Sixty-five died in that tragedy. I believe the Holly/Valens/Richardson accident was on page 16 of that newspaper that day.
@GregDad100 i don't think you shouldof said "funny thing was..." maybe ironic or something else... cause the news was anything but funny... just sayin...
When the news of the deaths of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens' and The Big Bopper breaks, the guitar of Carlos Santana and synthesizers of Miles Goodman starts playing at 0:35 whilst the news of the plane crash gets spread around. Great job on the music score to Carlos and Miles which featured some of Carlos' best guitar work in awhile (shame most people never knew that tidbit). Then when Ritchie's mom breaks down when the steel guitar starts on "Sleepwalk" still gets me today.
@frijolito325 shut the hell up u little douche & play w/ ur bean u smart-ass bastard! U aint funny. & 2 mr. Berenstain: he's being jackass, dont waste ur time replying 2 this filth w/ a helpful answer. Fuck him!
@socal1982 I don' think he ever performed the song, but as for the song, it's not by Ritchie Valens. I used to think it was because the first time I heard it was in the move lol
@frijolito325 He is one of the most talented rock musicians. He unfortunately died at such a young age. He did so much in so little time. Look him up. He's incredible! He paved the way for latinos in rock.
24 years later and i not only got to meet elizabeth pena, i got to act as background talent in a scene with her filmed down the road from my sister's house in an upcoming movie called Blaze You Out. look it up on facebook. i have SO much respect for that woman because of her just being in this heartbreaking biographical feature. can't describe how much of an honor it was.
This Is A Very Sad Tradegy Ritchie Velenz Was A Very Good Singer. It's Very Sad That He Died So Long. R.I.P. Ritchie Velenz Lou Diamond Phillips Did A Good Job Playing Him In This Movie.
There was a member of Ritchie's family on every single set of the movie, there's a couple scenes where his mom is shown.. Connie died the yr this movie came out. Imagine how heartbreaking it was for them....When Connie met Lou Diamond, she hugged him, asked him to do her son justice, the guy who was portraying Bobbie, she said that he performed Bobbie to a tee.
Goodness gracious, over 20 years later and I still cry at this part. Even though I try not knowing its coming it never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Especially when Ritchie's mom finds out, oh man that's incredibly sad to watch. Music truly did die the day that plane went down and took three outstanding musicians away from the world. RIP Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper.
Richie's real mother Connie died 3 months after this movie was released into theatres. And in November 2009, Richie's former record producer Bob Keane died of Kidney failure, so now theyre up there with Richie, Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper
Taitanic and Selena dont even come close to the sadness this scene brings on. Bob or Rosanna should have won supporting actor for 1987, but since its a chicano movie Morales nor Rosanna wore not taken into consideration
by the way LA BAMBA was the sleeper of 87,..it came out of left-field
every-time i see a quinceañera valz theirs someone yelling or shouting RRRIITTCHHHIE
