dude i just found this song on the game mafia 2, and dude i fell in love with it!!! he is amazing it sucks he get over his fear of flying cause if he would have never won the coin toss he would have never died!!! :'(
(using my husbands username I am relplying to yours of today) I Know he is 100% mexican...what I said was: I dont care if he was Mexican, American or from Mars. I loved him dearly. And I still think of the great loss. Now,was it necessry to be so rude?
He was born Ricardo Valenzuela-raised in Pacoima, CA. That community has a park and recreation area that is dedicated to him. He was born in the United States and died in plane crash. I may be wrong about this but I believe he died with Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper. Anyone can correct me if I am wrong about that.
Perhaps it is because of their untimely deaths, but there is a certain sadness to the music of Ritchie Valens and Buddy Holly that belies the joyous nature of their songs...
i will perfer this type of music than all the crap they give today i mean cmon miley cyrus made fame last so long 50 cent no jonas brothers please i will give anything to have this type of music any day
this is the version from la bamba film and it aint lou diamond phillips before anyone says so its from teh film but the video has been put together very good
I watched the movie ` La bamba` last night i had no idea it was meant to be real movie because it ended when he died in a plane crash. I feel so sorry for him, he died when he was so young, he could be a great musician now and married to `donna`
Thanks for posting pictures of him. I have only seen a few pictures of him, but most of the pictures you showed of him, I've never seen before and it was nice to see them. Thanks for posting this.
Wow!!!!He is my idol....I am a Filipino and i was really touched with his Life Story. I cannot forget the movie of his life portrayed by Lou Diamond Philip.
And if it wasn't changed to "Valens", then he wouldn't have sold as many albums as he did. There was a reason that they changed his name and he was wise to agree w it.
If that's Ritchie at 00:30 I must say (1)Never seen it before (2) Look like another person. Not many 'early' career photos of him. His entire career was an early one...
Segovia, the spanish guitarist got pretty old. And he was very talented, hehe. Ray Charles, Perkins, Orbison died in riped age. Chuck, JLL, Fats, Penniman, B Lee Riley and many more are still alive so your statement is not true at all. Just based on a feeling.
OK, Lou did none of the singing for that movie; a band called Los Lobos recorded all the songs for the movie and he looks nothing like Ritchie Valens. I'm not saying Lou is a bad actor, I'm just saying he wasn't the best choice for this part. Gary Busey, on the other hand, was perfect for his role as Buddy Holly in the Buddy Holly Story and he sang all the songs. Plus, it is actually Ritchie Valens singing in this recording, don't know if you're confused about that.
