  • I believe this is actually Carlos Santanas version of Sleep Walk written and made famous by Santo and Johnny

  • "I love this melody. Something about it."

    What? People type or talk too much. Do not spoil this with your thoughtless words.

  • great guitar! I love this song.

  • I love this melody. Something about it.

  • Beautiful...

  • This is not Richie's version its Santo and Johnny's version

  • NICE!!!!!!!!!!!

  • when i put on this song i always think.....

  • Its like the melody of Free As a Bird of The Beatles... lol

  • я нашел эту мелодию! мурашки по коже.

  • than return for now in this because with this tune I can feel my soul this time Uh eternal love of the sweet feeling of a special love congratulation thanks DJ cabelo from BRAZIL

  • my mind this song has taken, and I'll take me to these sweet 50's, golden age, an epoch divine and wonderful, I'm feeling the wind and the smell of sweet 50's, how much miss this sublime moments, when listening to this sweet song I transporto (travel) at the time and I clutch it in this totally sweet season, oh my good GOD you were there with me, thank you for this wonderful moment that this music takes me takes me leads and clutch and will never quite make no more

  • I think this song can be understood by all languages!

  • no manches XD

  • this song was released by june maybe july of 1959 wasn't ritchie valens alive by that date is not his song but that a very common mistake because "the bamba" movie but is a Santo & Johnny hit. Tanks anyway have a nice day

  • this is beautiful.. and i cried at the end of this movie listening to this music.. what a awesome young man he was had heart !! rattler in his soul beautiful beautiful man :) R.I.P ritchie

  • La melodía mas nostálgica y chingon ke jamás ha existido komo un soundtrack de mi vida... Buena aportacion...

  • umhp

  • suppose, fear of flying would have been better lol! (little known Irish song)

  • Always thought this was a Ritchie Valens song, why did they play it at the end of La Bamba? Anyone?

  • Msjenam,,, because Ritchie had bad dreams of flying, and as the song IS sleepwalking, it seemed approiate

  • nice melody

  • This is Johnny and Santo - not Valens

  • His real name is Richard valenzuela but back in the day in order to come up the white people were so prejadice that they had to modify the names to fit in

  • @jr21in04 fuck the industry

  • nice

  • my god I love this lick.....

  • I been searching for this song for the longest time! I had no idea who played it or the name of the song.... I just click on this video just out of curiosity, wow. Finally I found it, thanks for posting.

  • I like listening to these old songs, they are really calming and relaxing. Some of the newer songs these days are aggravating!

  • I believe the current songs are sung with anger while the old songs were sung with love.

  • Totally Agree<3

  • You are so right! Must have been a great era for music back then!

  • The song was in the end credits of the film La Bamba based on the life of Ritchie Valens. Valens did not write the song. Santo and Johnny wrote it. The melody just fit the sadness of Valens death in the film.

  • @MissCici55 Didnt write it OR play this version.

  • LINDA OBRA!!!

  • this song was by Santo & Johnny, and Richie Valens had nothing to do with it.

  • I agree...

  • ok ppl need to get it right, this was written for ritchie. and jhonny..

    duh

  • whAT THE HELL IS RITCHIE VALENS DOING HERE?...this is Santo and Johnny.......ya mo-mo

  • See my earlier post, right below

  • Rithchie Valens is here because this is the last melody played in La Bamba. A movie of 1987

  • This is Santo and Johnny, not Richie Valens. Correct meif I'm wrong....?

  • Yes it is Santo and Johnny. the song is kind of tied to the feeling you get when you remember these 3 aweome singers.. and it is also kind of a sad note that that era is gone forever. Today we are stuck today with the Islamic Jihad, Gangster rap, drugs and the whole damned mess

  • @sparwood8 gangsta rap is dead man :(

  • GREAT! Instead of giving it a burial, we will just cremate it

  • ur rite odinmp5, i was tryn2 look 4 da release date 4 this song & the closest was 8-17-59 while valens died 2/3/59 months be4e the song was even written or released. sad song for "la bamba" movie : ( i wanted 2 cry so much but held it back when the last strokes of the guitar 4 da last scene when ritchie and his bro bob were running up the hill out in hollister, ca but outside of da movie its a very very romantic song :)

    GOOD JOB MR. LUIS VALDEZ, LOVE UR PLAYS OUT IN MISSION SAN JUAN BAUTISTA!!!

  • I was once Sleepwalking, and when I woke up, I was whistling this tune. Weird Huh?

  • LOVE THIS SONG.

  • If you die tomorrow i'll play it for you.

  • I want this song at my funeral. Makes me want to cry.

  • U know what so do I.

  • I want the song 'Up, Up, and AWAY

  • i believe ritchie never played this song, and it was number one on its own.

  • I love this track

  • Ritchie never recorded Sleepwalk. The only connection to Ritchie was in the movie La Bamba, where this song was played at Ritchies Funeral.

  • funny thoing is ,..when ritchie died this song had not been recorded yet.

    .. i dont know im not sure.

  • Comment removed

  • richie didnt make this song, but he rocked it better then santo and whoever! hahaa wooo! viva ritchie!

  • Ritchie never did this, one, I don't even think he did it live ..and i've talked with his fam ... I done my Reading up on Valens,

  • and to the people giving me negative feedback over my opinion, get over yourselves.

    santo & johhny deserve their due credit.

  • amo esa cancion la amo en vdd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this is one of the most beautiful songs i ever heard i wish i could go back to the first time i heard it... enchanting

  • i think it was Santo & Johnny

  • esa es una de las canciones mas linda ke ya he eschuchado.....Gracias por ser un genio....

  • ritchie por siempre

  • santo & johnny

  • the whole ritchie valens correlation is really annoying.

    i wish people would take 5 minutes to actually research a song to find out who really recorded it.

  • Thank you for saying that seriously people need to google them or something

  • This is what you call music.<3

  • this song is beautiful!

    even though it has no words, its one of the greatest i heard.

    Richie was incredibly good, tremendous talent.

    I would say an idol.

    R.I.P Richie Valens

  • this isn't by valens.

  • he practically made it famous its by sandto and jonny but they made a movie about valens and at the end they showed it and well he made it famous

  • So, cuz of that, We should not give Santo and johnny anything!!

  • well yeah. but since ritchie practically made it famous why not give partial credit to him?

  • Well shit dose not work that way, ya gotta give credit where it's due, I love ritchie /his music , but I'm not Giving Credit to Someone who Didn't wright it,I don't care if it's in the movie or not, MAybe then the Guy who made the Sound track should get the Credit, Seeing Ritchie was Already Sadly gone,

  • the point is the song was half famous with santo and jonnys production including ritchie it helped bring popularity to it so i think richie deserves some what some credits he somewhat brought into the movie world

  • great guitar play, one of the best ever!

  • you guys know this isnt a ritchie valens song right? its santo and somebody but good movie

  • it wasn't his song .. they always contribute it with his name 'cause it was played at the funeral for all 3 musicians

  • Que hermosa melodia me recuerda mucho a mi madre cuando era pequeno.dios la terga en su gloria te estrano mucho mami.....Victor Olguin Ruiz,..New York 2009

  • lo siento mucho amigo

  • es muy bonita esa melodia aunque no realmente no la compuso richie valens

  • entonces quien???

  • no se quien la haya compuesto pero la toca Santo y Johnny y se llama sleep walk

  • no duh...

  • Los autores originales son los hermanos

    Santo y Johnny. en 1959

  • that lead guitar melody will live on 4ever. to this day i haven't heard a guitar piece that makes me feel what this one does. great guitar playing!

  • Timeless

  • if it was the athor side he wohd not die

  • I kinda cry of this song about ritchi valens death in the movie La Bamba. It was sad at the end with that song =_( R.I.P Ritchi

  • ritchiiiiiiiiieeeeeee

  • I love this song...

  • of course the song is not by Richie Valens, but if you've seen the move La Bamba (about his life) this is the song that plays in the final scene. That's it, so it kinda applies.

  • simple, and very good, very strong melody, this shit is unbelieveable!!!!!

    salve salve santo & johnny farina!!

  • This song is definitely Santo & Johnny. It has absolutely nothing to do with Richie Valens.

  • no richie noooooo..

  • i thought johnny & santo made this song?

  • They did. its just this song is on La bamba .

  • My next door neighbor "coach Manriquez" bought Ritchie Valens album the day it first came out back then, I think that's awesome:)

  • steal guitar all the way :)

    a masterpiece!!!!!!!!!

  • I wasn't around in the 50's but it seems there were so many good music artists back then and it seems quite a number of them died tragically. With the case of Ritchie, what stands out is not only his star status but also that he left a woman behind who he wrote one of the most beautiful songs for. R.I.P Ritchie

  • But this is not Richie Valens playing. It's Santo & Johnny.

  • thats a good idea scs1000 when some1 i know good dies im gonna play this a million time =(

  • this is the gagsta oldies song i heard it so cool like all the other oldies songs

  • too bad i was a half century too late, this song expresses my sadness to not be around in the fifties

  • IKILL MYSELF EVRY TIME

  • vENCTS

  • I walk around like a raging beast all day but when I hear this song, it sooths me.

  • exlente el dia de hoy por fin lo consegui soy admirador de ritchie valenz gracias alos lobos y la warner bros por la pelicula ritchie hermano se te quiere y se te recuerda

  • R.I.P.

    The day the music died..

  • There was and there will be nobody like Ritchie, pls play this tune at my funeral.

    It will be the best send off there is.

  • now...I'm only 18 but I choose this over the garbage that they play in the radio now and days.

  • So true

  • So true man

  • someone whould write lyrics to this song and sing it to the instrumental. that would be cool.

    but who knows, it could ruin the song too.

  • lets see who dies first...

  • mine too!
