Oddly enough Lou Diamond Phillips didn't sing this song himself when he PLAYED Ritchie Valens in the movie "La Bamba" back in 1987. The voice you hear in the movie is David Hidalgo's (he's a member of Los Lobos, the very real band who "backed" Lou in the movie, he can be seen playing the guitar). Lou has a pretty GOOD voice!
Rolling Stone compiled the best 500 Rock songs ever. There is only one written in Spanish...La Bamba. Gives me the chills every time I hear it. Rock and Roll.
Despite playing Mexican characters, Phillips himself is not Mexican, not Philippine American. He really rocks with this song. Love our Texas native and proud to claim the same alma mater.
Over 60 years after his death Ritchie is still remembered. Awesome
Even though his voice was dubbed in the movie but he still has a good voice, and here he actually gets to sing this classic in his own voice
He still has it! Even though Los Lobos sang it Lou Diamond Phillips killed it
The actor who played Ritichi Valens in LA BAMBA returns to sing the iconic song.
He was also in the Music Video for Los Lobos' version of the song.
this gave me chills and took me back to my childhood
Wow Lou is very talented
Yeah he is
I didn't know he could sing! He's pretty good.
Well he is henry standing bear lol
So good. Lou should of won the Oscar for Labamba
I'm glad to see they still got it even after the years.
Wow, I didn’t know he could sing. Kind of makes me wonder why he didn’t do live vocals in the movie.
Love this man as an actor, didn't know he could sing.
But the original film La bamba in 1987 they used David Hidalgos Voice to provide LDP's his voice
He’s still got it!
OMG I just saw it.. the Mantis is dressed like Bob from La Bamba..

I was surprised when I heard Lou sing, he's really good.
I wonder how these greats feel when loved so much by other celebrities.

LDP is half Filipino..his mom is from the Philippines
Lou is a Filipino- American. He was born in Zambales, Philippines.
Diamond Philip should have done this way a time ago, he deserved a lot of credit for being the best actor!

Why wouldn't you have done it in the first place, Lou? He would've made it his own even though he played Ritchie in the movie.

BUENO ME GUSTO EL PERSONAJE DE MANTIS PERO NO SI ME ENTIENDAN PERO HABLO ESPAÑOL
They didn't know they could speak Spanish
They are Filipino
Neither could Ritchie and he was Mexican lol
Are you seriously
NO
LOU DIAMOND PHILLIPS- DAME WHAT NAME
You didn't have a bad voice just too bad that he wasn't able to use it in the movie, he did a Milli vanilli
I think the thing was that they just wanted a voice that sounded more like Ritchie’s.
