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

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