  • 3:02 haha looks like underage Richie is drinking a beer!

  • These people are doing the twist at 2:22??How come??Buddy died February 3,1959,Hank Ballard originally wrote and recorded The Twist in '59 and Chubby Checker didn't explode the dance till 1960,so anybody could explain this??

  • Upon his return to Los Angeles, Valens filmed an appearance in Alan Freed's movie Go Johnny Go!. In the film, he appears in a diner, miming his song "Ooh! My Head", using a Gretsch 6120 guitar, the same model Eddie Cochran owned. Still, it is not Eddie´s guitar. In between the live appearances, Ritchie returned to Gold Star several times, recording the tracks that would comprise his two albums.

  • You'll notice Ritchie is playing Eddie Cochran's guitar in the "Ooh My Head" footage. COOOOOOL!!!

  • @Yeppy97 Yeah, I know. I wish we could've had him longer. But the reason documentaries play the same footage over and over again is because there is just so little of it. Only a few videos of Ritchie exist.

  • @Italktopopsicles Yeah his career didn't even last a year only 8 months which really does suck and the Winter Dance Party i think was one of his first tours and also his last as for footage i think that's the reason he was barely becoming famous but I would like to see more footage of him allot of documentaries just play the same footage over and over but i think there are pictures.

  • Was there footage of his apperance on American Bandstand? I mean, if there was, you'd think somebody would want to keep pretty special care of it seeing as there's not a whole lot of footage of Ritchie floating around.

  • Some of this is taken from the VH1 documentary The Day The Music Died.

  • This footage is not very rare actually, it's from a movie that Ritchie got a cameo to sing in.

  • my favorite part starts at second :33...Ritchie had SWAG!!!!
