Who knows ! But it's crazy how people get bigger when they passed away than when they're here giving us great jams to listen to . I feel like Ritchie valens would've moved onto like the style of Carlos Santana if he never got on that plane with buddy Holly and big bopper ! It sucks that they had to go through that tragedy ! I'm sure buddy Holly would've given us some great music also . I always looked at big bopper as a one hit wonder . But buddy Holly was a great song writer for being as young as he was and I could imagine the wild music he would've made during the hippie era
@@juanlopez4353 Have to agree. Ritchie Valens was much more mainstream than Santana. Valens was an outstanding POP songwiter and jad huge appeal to white kids, and hispanic kids. Valens would have been huge.
@@rick1975100 The Day the Music Died is what February 3rd 1959 is known as. I am not saying that music qua music died. But on that day Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, and the Big Bopper all died in a plane crash. That is the history.
I remember when "La Bamba" came out in 1987. I was 12 years old, and my mom took me to see it. She started crying at the end, and I didn't get it back then. Knowing later that she was 22 and hanging out with her friends when it was announced that her heartthrob was killed along with Buddy Holy and The Big Bopper, I can't even imagine the heartbreak. 💔
I like occasional wrong notes and the sound of fingers on strings. Big stars who do unplugged performances are showing their lonely nights of solo practice roots.
@@stevensamuels4041 To the "Right" man 😉 Maybe it's a Scorpio thing… we are very passionate/posessive & like to own/belong to our mates. That has gotten a bad rap these days but just my personal preference. Also I only want that if the other person wants/needs that as well so it's free will & personal preference.

@@paultreadaway102 Thank you for responding in someone else’s behalf as though you knew what they meant. If they meant “buddy” in the familiar sense they shouldn’t have capitalized it.
Put it in perspective. 17 years old and passed away. Roughly eight to 10 months he was a musical sensation with raw talent. Nothing is ever been copied like this. Sure there's been young Talent that's came and went on to success but who knows with this Young man could have been. We will never know, but listen to the sound that he generated. He was still a child, still young too young to be drafted. I'm fifty-two so it's not like I grew up listening to him but I grew up listening to my dad's music which ranged from folk to Bluegrass aka Lester and Earl to Hendrix the fixx. Bono. When he passed away and I found Janis Joplin album also next to it was a flock of seagulls. In-between those two albums was everything else so I was lucky... Ritchie Valens is an incredible talent that will never be duplicated in this day and age or to come.
@@joemckim1183 kind of hard to imagine where he would have went. Most definitely would have got better with age. Some don't but he had it all the way. Great upbeat tempo to love songs
Maybe you never heard of Carol Kaye she recorded Ritchies guitar in the studio you only heard him play if you saw him live sorry broke my heart when i learned this
@@JohnSmith-mg5ve yeah doing the full on splits and acrobatic movements while dancing bro I would love to one day go out dancing with a girl and dance like that my school disco was NOTHING compared to that
In 1958 I was 10 years old and was I ever a Ritchie Valens fan. I had his 45's and even his 'B' sides were my favorite. "Come On Let's Go" - "Donna" - "La Bamba" - "Framed" - "The Paddiwack Song." I was so young and I don't know what it was that drew me to his music. RIP Ritchie ♥
When you look at what this kid accomplished at 17 like myself you will see your life as a waste. 4-5 hits, a part in a major motion picture, numerous tv appearances and he was seen as the biggest star to die the night the stars died, not Buddy Holly. Buddy Holly had not released a hit in quite a few months. He had been in the middle of evolving his music when he took a break to do the tour. His best was yet to come, but Ritchie had several hits on the radio at the time and was considered the biggest star in that moment. They were good friends Buddy and Ritchie. With Ritchie often filling in for Buddy's hurt drummer on the tour. We will never know what we missed out on. Buddy was going to transform music. He just wasn't given the chance. Ritchie accomplished all of what he did in 10 months. Now thats amazing.

The music, the ladies their hairstyles & dresses, the clothes the dance moves & definitely the cars from the 50s is when I should've lived 👍 RIP Richie valens💚🤍❤️
In 1966 The McCoys did a pretty good cover of "come on let's go". It wound up peaking at #22 on the charts and I actually bought a copy of it. At the time I had never heard of Ritchie ( I was 14). Over the past 57 years I've come to love the music of Ritchie's time. I have an original Del-fi label copy of Donna/LaBamba on my jukebox which gets played often. Seen the movie "LaBamba" countless times. Been to the Surf Ballroom and the crash site while at the 2009 "50 Winters Later" show. Long live Rock & Roll!

Real dancing right there! My youngest brother and I used to dance together like that except for the fancy moves. Just the simple part of it. It was so much fun! In a few days I’ll be 68 and I’m not able to dance anymore and he passed away a few years ago. But I’ll cherish those memories until my time comes.

I today listen to his music and I'm just 30yrs old. Would have loved living in those days. Ed My father had a silver tone guitar and his friends made fun of him,he say good for Richie good for me. Just wanted to say that.

That's a good song
The last couple dancing doing that multi-whip is sick (short dude with the glasses). I've seen that clip in different videos, but it never fails to impress. Swing dancing at its best.
Is he the same guy dancing the "Nitty Gritty" on the Ed Sullivan show? The guy was amazing in that dance routine
