Is that your voice or Richie's? If it's yours, are you his offspring?! I have always been a Richie Valens fan, 1 month old when he died, and you really are good. I grew up with my big brother's band practicing at my house. His spirit went everywhere!
@PianoDudexD I kno, right?? lou diamond phillips did a great job playing Ritchie, but I actually believed that this was the only color video of Ritchie Valens, just because the guy did such a good job playing Ritchie, and singing like him, too.
I noticed the version u have of this song and ur version of we belong together on ur other video have loud stand up bass...I like the versions u have...What album are those from?
@CountryGent67 hello there ! stand up bass & baritone guitar both were used at the same time on several recordings like come on let's go , La bamba, That's my little suzie, hurry up, We belong together & others :)
let me your lead guitarist..been playing 30yrs..got stray cat pompadour..we'll get a bass player and snare drummer...your voice is too good for mere utube vids..
I'm a Ritchie Valens impersinator too but I have to say hat's off to you. You do a great Ritchie Valens impersination. Great singing bro play some more ritchie song s like la bamba. I'll be listening.
@childsweethearts ahahahah perfection ? not a t all, the camera's battery ran out 2 times, to be exact we have 16 different takes of this song & of course we uploaded the one we thought sounded better....thanks & take care!
man every once in a while somebody comes along and takes my breathe away,you need to show Ritchie,s mum this real quick, you are good and you are doing the whole Vallen,s thing justice my friend.your smoking!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@orlea6486 i have this on a burnt CD i play it every day in the car thinking its christine i put pieces of metal cut in half like Plymouth fins and put the badages made out of paer they say Fury on the sides of it 50s style
This is absolutely brilliant stuff. And I agree, the lack of quality from the camcorder mic almost replicates that old sound perfectly well.
This beats the heck out of all the so called "artists" these days. THIS is real music and it'll never die, and people like you are definitely keeping it alive.
@orlea6486 That guys an idiot, he's jealous that you're an awesome cover artist! I enjoy your videos! Thanks for posting these! I literally feel like I'm watching a good ol' rock n' roll band from the 50's performing!
You are too cute. You have Ritchie down pat...and god bless for that....send your video to ASCAP in NYC and good luck...you seem like a very talented young man.
I love Richie Valens since I saw the movie "La Bamba" in the Eighties. I love Buddy Holly, too. Why you don't play "Everyday" (Buddy Holly)? You're fantastic!
I can not believe how much you sound and look like Ritchie! I'm only 28 years olde but my father was a musican and loved and covered alot of Ritchie's songs, but I still can't believe it!! WOW I've seen Ray Anthony tribute him but you sir, you blow him outta the water!. You gotta hook up with John Mueller's Winter Dance Party TOUR! .....Also if you ever had a chance I'd love a full version of La bamba! Adios mi Amigo!
Damn you're good dude. If I wasn't watching the video I would think it was the real Ritchie Valens singing. You sound more like Ritchie and the Los Lobos did in that movie. Awesome!
Wow I'm impressed! I've never heard anyone able to replicate Ritchie's voice like that. You have an immense talent my friend, I'm looking forward to your other videos. Keep up the good work :)
Dude is that ur voice im freakin confuse its impossible to sound exactly like richie valens rite?im cracking my head juz thinking about this it could be a recording but ritchie valens voice isnt like that when talking u gotta to clear my doubt i cant sleep dude o.o help meh 0.0 help!!!!O.O
hello, it is my voice !!!, will post this weekend some vids singing some Ritchie's songs, just my guitar & voice, no echo, no reverb , no mics or other stuff,. just to clear this up . It is impossible to sound like Ritchie, no other like him ,I just enjoy playing & singing his tunes.
well Howdy there mate *still cant believe it :O*but hey Why not join america got talent^.^Be the next ritchie valens il support u all the way I would to love to hear now ur gone XD
Oh my God!! I swear you sound just like Ritchie -not just your singing but even when you speak as well! I just watched all of your clips and this one is by far my most favorite one! You are truly a talented individual! I commend you whole-heartedly! Congratulations and keep on rocking!!!
P.S: My favorite Ritchie song is "Cry, cry, cry." Any chance of giving that one a shot? I bet you would do an AWESOME JOB!!!'
