Funny how some of his songs he recorded weren't as popular like this is pretty popular hit but not as much as comeon let's go Donna we belong together.
@@jovanym2931 eh I don't look at it that way..look for instance the Jackson 5 when berry Gordy brought them on in mo town records then marvin gaye too came in..marvin gaye his #1 hits to me is the grapevine then another was one where he does solo with some girl think was in the 60s. Then you got stevie wonder only so little of his songs are favorites to many fans..one of em I personally like by SW is skeletons, not a real big hit compared to ebony eyes or my cherie amour.
Niko here The jackson 5 were famous in the 80s Ritchie was starting out in the 50s I say he would have gotten many new hits . It was a whole different era.No to mention he was still in school and had only dropped out of high school to make more music. When he died he was working on doing a rock and roll version of malagueña which would have surely been a big hit like LA BAMBA , framed , and ohh my head where already big hits as well . There is no doubt he would have made more hits . He was only 17 buddy holly only a few big hits too they both died young and had a short career
@@jovanym2931 about. Jackson 5 gotten fame way before the 80s man..in the 80s it was about prince or Michael Jackson or Queen. Jackson 5 was from the late 60s to early 70s when they got top of the charts man
@@jovanym2931 eh yeah who knows if ritchie would've made more hits im sure he would have & im sure if elvis hadn't suffered that overdose then he would've continued on his career & be touring around right now..singing & still record albums like Tony bennett still does every now & then like he did w Amy whinehouse
Man he was so good on guitar and was even an amazing drummer. Cant even imagine what he could have done if he had a left handed guitar instead of learning how to play as a righty!
I've always always questioned weather Ritchie valens ever played on his on studio records. Because, there's 2 guitars on the majority of his songs. And credit show other names as guitarists on his songs... However, with that being said, On the outro of this song you can really hear, something that credence Clearwater revival or john fogerty will be using very often 10 years later...

Ritchie's songs always sounded like unfinished demos. His vocals are faint and sound horrible at times. And you could tell he was from the streets, because he does not pronounce his words. He chops them up like a lil kid would. Not too articulate.

Q pena esse Garoto tão especial já se foi mais amamos eles pra sempre como gostaria de ter conhecido esse astro
Pase 4 veces por el lugar donde cayó su avión y ahi recordaba esta gran leyenda.
Underrated rock legend
The guy had three whole hits over SIXTY YEARS AGO, and, to this day, is revered in every way possible. Define the word "underrated" for us... please.
He's more accomplished than just three hits.
Although he's revered, I don't think people know how much his while catalogue rocks.
Back on an Era when Amps were driven by Red Hot Tubes .... Red Hot Grooves! 👍👍💯💯
He really was handsome and mature looking for someone so young.
Il était sérieux pas comme certaines étoiles filantes d'aujourd'hui.
Lui reste et respect dommage pour l'accident d'avion.
Provoqué? Qui sait ?
His Dead a plane
Men were more mature back then younger and were not wrapped in cotton wool.
@@bighands69 Love to be 17 looking like 50
@@bighands69 Not true at all, only for some. Buddy was way older than Ritchie and he looks like he was 13.

Anybody else feel sad when thinking about Richie? Probably cuz I’m Mexican American as well and he passed around my age
Not only do I Feel Sad, but I can't Imagine what could Have Been!! Truly Sad that he had to Die So Young, and So Tragically!! 😥😥😥
@@jamesnewman7961 I think the same about him and James Dean.
@@carlosolavarria6251 ... Yeah ... I see what you Mean. Both Young and had so much to Live For. Sad!! 😥😥
Being 17 and listening to Ritchie just hits different
He was a great artist that died young so that plays a big part of people feeling sad about it.
Como Mexicano es un pionero del rock ; es un orgullo para mi ;IMAGINESE lo que le falto por cantar????????
Imagine this guy living longer and meeting Hendrix and Santana music today wouldn’t be the same.
Sempre está em minhas orações nobre rapaz, como te amo eternamente ⭐❤️
Singing ol' rock n roll songs... describing intimate acts. With who? Where? How? Listen to it again.
Just AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!

'... follow me'
Amazing movie
I love how that bass is so up front in the mix Wonder if that's a Danelectro, the sound of it reminds me of John Entwistle's 'solo on My Generation'.
It's actually a Fender Bass six played by the great Rene Hall
@Brandi832 a Fender Six is not a normal bass - it's essentially a long-scale Jazzmaster tuned down an octave - it's great for stuff like this!
I believe it's a Danelectro 6 string bass or a Baritone guitar. Fender Bass VI wasn't released until 1961.

This has to be the inspiration for montez lets dance
yes he was just to young to die & getting a good start in music, My heart feels for his Mother. he had some good music. God Bless his family 7-20-21
song kills it. vocals are nuts
John Lennon did a great version of this as well.
Definitely liked His version/style of this song.. Much Cooler version than most!! Ritchie..!
rock de qualidade dos anos 50 muito bom.
Waylon Jennings has to live with that his whole life
He actually traded seats with the Big Bopper it was Tommy Allsup who originally had Ritchies seat
How was he supposed to know?
Wait... doing what under the apple tree??? Ritchie!!! And we thought you were this sweet, innocent young man. 😆
My Favorite song
Natailee Rodriguez your fine😍😂😂
The difference between the original is Ritchies bad ass guitar rock n roll playing sound to inspire future generations
Lennon killed on this when he recorded it.
Rip Ritchie Valens
FANTASTIC!!!!, RITCHIE
