    This stunns and touches you. And if you understand the spirit of the 50's and Ritchie Valenzuela, you get mind pulled with emotion. Just listen.

  • theirs another version? who sings it?

  • amos garret

  • aii pero q bonita knciioN,,, saludos a mexico!

  • Dios!!! con ese tema quiero morir :)

  • This song isn't on the La Bamba soundtrack.

  • Yes it is, its on the scene where Bob and his mum are hugging because they found out about Ritchie's death. And then at the end of the song Bob screams " RIIIIIIIIITTTTTCCCCHHHHHIIIEEE­EE"

  • "sleepwalk" was omitted from the soundtrack album.....yet it was on the flim.

    Some songs like The Big Bopper's "Chantilly Lace" were omitted from the release. Other omitted songs were "Oh Boy", "Rip It Up", "The Paddi Wack Song" (written by Valens), and "Sleep Walk".

    [edit] Awards

  • HA HA i love that part me and my friends imatate that part all the time

  • I love this instrumental. Makes me think of another era, when life was simpler.

  • this song will also be put in my funeral

  • This song will also be played at my funeral when I passed away.

  • Beautiful

  • Jeff Buckley was long dead when the secretary died on The West Wing but that was used. Sleepwalker is an appropriate song in timbre and title to be used for Richie. His music will walk this earth long after his eternal sleep

  • "Sleepwalk" wasnt release until july, 1959.....months after Ritchie Valens death. How can it be on the soundtrack?

    santo n johnny #1 sept 1959

  • haha do you even know what a soundtrack is? Its the music used in the MOVIE! The Movie was made in 1987 and it was called "LA BAMBA" - It was a movie about Richie's life..

  • "Sleep Walk" entered Billboard's 'Top 40' on August 17, 1959. It rose to the number-one position for two weeks in September 21, 1959. late Ritchie Valen died on Feb 1959......and the music was played during his funreal in the movie on feb '59? The flim made a big mistake ...reason they didnt put this music on the orginal soundtrack of "The Bamba"

    neverthless it was a great scene on the movie with this music

  • They used it during a "scene" as background music in the movie. I don't think it was actually PART of the movie tht was in actual fact used for his funeral. You know what i mean?

  • I WANT THIS SONG PLAYED AT MY FUNERAL :(

  • this isnt even richie valens

  • I want this song played at my funeral too. Very sad and great song :D

  • rest in peace moms.. now youre in a better place where there in no pain... nothing but happiness all around.. you.. even though we miss you.. but I guess God decided to take you with him,, and I know youre looking down at me from the heaven up above

  • RITCHIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

  • lol

  • oohh u got me,ha

  • im dead and this played at my funeral :]

  • lets see who dies first.

  • my funeral song!

  • mine to...seriously!

  • I cry everytime, and feel all your comments, well most of them that reflect upon the somberness of these events and the perfect choice of music.

  • When Bobs on the bridge and he shouts "Ritchie!!" it sends a shiver down my spine and fills my eyes with tears.

  • It's so great :) ...Yet so sad :C  .

  • I love This song. Even Though its very depressing. Love the Movie best movie ever made. and the Music is Perfect. RIP Ritchie Valens. Thanks to Lou Diamond Phillps Played Ritchie Perfectly

  • Hard to believe this was made a long time ago. This is melodic and beautiful.  It's also the saddest part of the movie La Bamba after Valens' plane goes down along with the Big Bopper and Buddy Holly.

  • I gotta learn how to play this this song:)

  • Its actually a hard ass song , and these older songs were so basic!!!

  • well some have it easier then others, its just the hand you were dealt my friend, to danielmills3 "sleepwalker" sums his life up.

    maybe one day your life wont be so tough, but for now hang in there buddy, you have a purpose!

    -R

  • this song always makes me sad

  • life is a Bitch.so wat you do.you fu*k it.if he didnt die we would of never heard of him

  • this song wasnt richie valens anyway it was santo and johnny.

  • i disagree with this, he was phenominal for a 16 year old, imagine if he would have lived, he would have been bigger then elvis probably!

  • Actually, he was 17 when he died but still he was awesome.

    He was so talented and the biggest rock n roll heart in history.

    RIP Richard Steven Valenzuela 1941-1959
