@Italktopopsicles Yep. I always looked older in my photographs and when people met me they were shocked that I was pretty young. Some people are just not photogenic.
This is one of the few of Ritchie Valens, Donald Fleming technician in computer graphics, color managed faithfully this video, it was a beautiful job, were it not for the clothes of 50 years, it appears that Ritchie is singing today, I posted the video here on my channel, Donald made me a beautiful homage to the artist who lost his life so young.
during this years become a star is a work and hard now in 2011 you juste have to say i need to be a star and you just have to sing a hugly song and bad and you are a pop fucking star. fuck the pop and say yes to the music
Is this actualy Ritchie Valens? I think this is the only footage of him I have seen. I cant belive he was only 17 when he died, he looked so much older. A true legend RIP.
@MOONST0MP yeah youre right, this is the only footage that i have seen of him :(, is so sad only 17 years, but anyways i love his music <3, ritchie valens rocks
Got this movie on VHS. Very aloof and quickly made Rock'n'Roll flick to capitalize on the music. That being said, it's also one of the only movies you'll find these REAL legends playing on the screen. I may have been the only member of my family to sit thru the whole flick, but it's worth it because of the "rockers" in the film. Ritchie and Chuck are fabulous! Too bad the screenplay had to be so lame!
@handjive58 He borrowed one of Ed's guitar for this scene. Could be be the p90. Fact. Ritchie and Eddie were good friends and they were both on location at the time.
IMAGINE BUDDY..RITCHIE..ELVIS..EDDIE..CHUCK..JESSIE BURNETTE. IF THEY LIVED ALL ON STAGE ON STAGE TODAY!!!! ROCK AND ROLL ALL TIME ROCK CONCERT!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!! OOOHHH MY HEAD.
so sad they died. Weird thing is, & I say this with great heed, is that it was almost like it had to happen. Where would rock & roll be without the great rock tragedies it has had? I don't believe everything happens for a reason but I do believe their deaths caused them to be an even greater influence to future musicians. Though I wish it had never happened.
Wow! Yet another song ripped off by Led Zeppelin and put on the Physical Graffetti album called Boogie With Stu. Naturally no credit was given to Ritchie Valens. Jimmy Page truly is scum. Fingers be damned. And look at him now - a soulless ashen shell waiting to be taken to hell. Ha-ha I just rhymed myself...
Wow he was really cute, when I would see pics of him I would think his face was kind fat and wondered why they picked Lou to play him but he was pretty cute I guess he just wasn't very photogenic.....
@tabajara79 i think the actor that was chosen for la bamba was very well chosen he may not look anythink like him but he did a great job betraying the real ritchie valens even the family of the realy ritchie valens says so...
@Shanco4688I agree with you Shanco, but I think the word you want to say here is portraying, the word betraying really makes your statement different altogether. And it was his first movie I think!
He was left handed, but learned how to play his guitar right handed. It just shows how dedicated he was. Not many people can do that. Even McCartney gave up trying and restrung his guitar left handed.
Not only he wrote great music he sang and could play that guitar like nobodies business.What happen to talent today? you can't find an artist that can do all three.
May God Bless those 3 wonderful talented gentlemen. Buddy Holly, Jiles Perry "The Big Bopper" Richardson. Not to mention the pilot who also perished on that fateful day. It's hard to believe it's been 52 years since that happened.
95% of teens listen to the same crappy pop songs. Thumbs this up if your the other 5%. Spread this message! Don't leave Valens and other rockers to be left un-remembered!
i love seeing this especially that this is thee only footage of him. iwould also like to point out that "High tone" was his one of his mothers name for being so vocal..also the guitar he uses in this scene belongs to the great Eddie Cochran rockabilly king! Ritchie used this guitar because his were being used in the studio while he was making his record. thank you for posting this video. i am only 28 but have listen to Ritchies music my whole life..
ever since i was a kid ive been into this music. 24 now just got to see john muellers winter dance aprty last night. i had goosebumps thats how good and authentic it was.
Chuck Berry looks very good in this video (far left at the "men's table"). Its also great to hear his signature riffs via Ritchie's guitar. This is not mentioned with the idea of detracting any from Ritchie's stupendous talent.
ESTE GRAN ARTISTA FUE ELIMANADO POR LOS AGENTES DE LA MUSICA CONSERVADORA AMERICANA YA QUE ERA CHICANO,LASTIMA POR ELLOS SE PERDIERON A UN GRAN ARTISTA Y DEJARON A LOS ARTISTAS JUDIOS COMO PRESLEY Y A OTROS BRITANICOS EN DESMEDRO DE LA POTENCIA SUDAMERICANA Y MEXICANA
I've been a Ritchie Valens fan all my life and tho' I have the record of this song, I NEVER saw the video. Thanks for this great glimpse of one of my favoriate all time stars.
Chuck Berry is on the left and Alan Freed is in the middle. In another part of this movie Chuck was playing 'Little Queenie' . Great! Does anybody know the the name of this movie?
shame about sound quality, one of the few white guys who didnt water down rock and roll when he actually played any properly. sounded as powrful as little richard on this one!
forgive my genuine ignorance buddy, what is "chicano pendejo"? being scottish, i am not familiar with some of the cultural terms you may walk every day!
i suppose my point was, he wasnt afro-american, as in general they were considered the strongest r&b, r&r, and gospel/soul singers around, and usually still are, due to their particular folk tradition in church, with the old village wise women still having a role to play. do tell me more?
@gnowave haHA! My man! Chicanos are what some of us Mexican Americans refer to ourselves as. Pendejo [to be takin lightly] means dummy, which is what I was calling you. I like the way you replied, that was the excitement in the beginning. And your history is correct mostly.
@gnowave mhmm! The best. The Rat Pack, Chuck Berry, Billie Holiday, James Brown, Laurel Aitken etc etc etc.Legends! No problem on the info. Speaking of info, who are some legends from your side of the pond?
@BabylonGenocide149 well UK legends tend to be more underground as the "pop" charts are dominated here asd elsewhere by corporates. and that sux.
check here and now band, planet gong, undwerworld, orbital, led zep, drum club, the orb, stranglers,sex pistols, clash, sham 69, buzzcocks, magazine, nigel lewis, tho thse are all fairly modern, in 50s UK acts were too contrived and created in test tubes, and were really just5 middle class posh kids created by the labels. the best uk music is non-pop
(From Wikipedia about "Boogie With Stu") The final product was based on Ritchie Valens' "Ooh, My Head." Instead of crediting Valens as writer or co-writer, the song was credited to "Page/Plant/Jones/Bonham/Mrs. Valens/Ian Stewart". As Page explained:
What we tried to do was give Ritchie's mother credit, because we heard she never received any royalties from any of her son's hits, and Robert did lean on that lyric a bit. So what happens? They tried to sue us for all of the song!
@56ottoman interesting story. i always heard the connection of the two grooves (which went over most of my friends heads as they had a more narrow taste. but yeh a goopd solid groove. both boogie with stu form, and this form. and little richars use of it too, (oh my soul)
@In2TheNiteLife yep, would be very interesting, woulda given santana the rocket up the ass they sometimes needd. IF ritchie was able to inject the energy he shows above! for me this is his ultimate track.
@Emartinez72090 hmm, that a little naive friend. elvis had been well popular for years already. it would if anything be the other way round (i say this as no elvis fan in any way.) sun records where elvis sprnag from were well strong in the south, and many of the greats poured out of their little hick studio.
In many pictures of him, he looked a lot older than he was, but in a video like this you can tell he's just a kid. Only 17 when he died. Poor thing.

(From Wikipedia about "Boogie With Stu") The final product was based on Ritchie Valens' "Ooh, My Head." Instead of crediting Valens as writer or co-writer, the song was credited to "Page/Plant/Jones/Bonham/Mrs. Valens/Ian Stewart". As Page explained:
What we tried to do was give Ritchie's mother credit, because we heard she never received any royalties from any of her son's hits, and Robert did lean on that lyric a bit. So what happens? They tried to sue us for all of the song!

@In2TheNiteLife yep, would be very interesting, woulda given santana the rocket up the ass they sometimes needd. IF ritchie was able to inject the energy he shows above! for me this is his ultimate track.

@Emartinez72090 hmm, that a little naive friend. elvis had been well popular for years already. it would if anything be the other way round (i say this as no elvis fan in any way.) sun records where elvis sprnag from were well strong in the south, and many of the greats poured out of their little hick studio.

@Emartinez72090 (elvis began being popular in 1955, ritchi died, when? 59?)
