  • Ritchie Valens born in May 13, 1941, had many hits in the 1950's. His hit songs include Donna (written for his girl friend), come on lets go, and La Bamba all were released in 1958. On February, 3 1959, Ritchie Valens died at the age of 17 in a plane crash. Others who also died in plane crash were Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and the plane pilot. This day came to be know as "The Day Music Died".

    I remember that day vividly. I was 19, and on my way to work when I heard the announcement on KIMN radio, Denver, about the plane tragedy. I had to pull over and stop. I cried. To many of us teens then, Buddy Holly was our rhythm to our feet; Ritchie spoke to the heart ( my best friend had just lost his girl named Donna); and The Big Bopper made us joyful.
    Don McLean would later sing that he remembered he was delivering papers when he read the headline and agreed, "...the day the music died"

    I feel like I was born in the wrong era. I would have loved to grow up in the fifties late 50's early 60's and listen to this music and just being alive when Elvis Presley was alive as well and it would have been awesome. but I am grateful these legends left such wonderful music for me to listen to show to my children my child how awesome this music was and will always be. rock n Roll forever from: 90's kid

      Actually "Donna" was the #1, million selling hit for Ritchie. "La Bamba" was the flip side. "Donna" made it to #1 on the Music Vendor singles chart and #2 on Billboard's. "La Bamba" made it as high as #22 on Billboard.

    I'm 47 & I grew up with the Los Lobos remake playing on the radio after La Bamba was released when I was 12. I still do really love that version but as an adult now who has grown to appreciate originals a lot more, Ritchie's La Bamba has been the one I choose to listen when I'm in the mood to hear this great song

  • @RalfGummerus-GBoy

    Sitting in a restaurant in Mexico City and there happens to be some Mariachis around this song will surface sooner or later. Ritchie transformed this traditional Mexican song into rock 'n roll making it known all over the planet.

    What is amazing to me is that "La Bamba" is the flip side of the #1 hit and million selling ballad "Donna". "The day the music died" was a day before my 15th birthday and indeed it was tragic. "Donna" by Ritchie, "That'll Be The Day" by Buddy Holly and "Chantilly Lace" by The Big Bopper were heard all day on the radio.

    Once at a sketchy Irish pub in Toronto, I saw a few intimidating looking guys of latin descent walk in during an open mic night. After a few hours, the largest of them quietly walked to the MC, and asked to play a song. I awkwardly retuned a guitar, and then TORE into La Bamba, hitting it perfectly note for note. The bar went wild. A great moment to see

      That is a myth. The plane did not have a name. The airplane was a 1947 Beechcraft 35 Bonanza, civil registration N3794N, serial number D-1019. It was a single-engine, four-place, all-metal light airplane with retractable landing gear. The Model 35 had the distinctive V-tail which combined the functions of a conventional vertical fin and rudder, and horizontal tail plane and elevators.
