    On February 3, 1959, on what has become known as "The Day the Music Died", Valens died in a plane crash in Iowa, an accident that also claimed the lives of fellow musicians Buddy Holly and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson, as well as pilot Roger Peterson. Valens was 17 at the time of his death. In 2001, Valens was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

    Great job figuring out it wasn't the real song. Love that you decided to dive into that right away. Great reaction. It's so clear you're about the education, not just trying to get monetized (NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT, tho).
    BANG ON with the "innovative" comment too, by the way, because that's why it's so terrible he died right away in the plan crash that was the inspiration of American Pie by Don McLean, as was said elsewhere. La Bamba, the movie, is all about the lead-up to what Ritche Valens' life was heading to right before he died with Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper.
    And it's DEVASTATING to think about now, because what would a prolonged career by him have done for the Latin community's visibility in America for over six decades? Gone too soon.
    Buddy Holly is the next one to listen to as the American Pie tribute continues -- "Every Day" is my FAVE by them, and you could spin that line to listening to Pearl Jam's cover of Every Day, if you can find it, and watching "Stand By Me," the amazing 1980s' coming-of-age movie that is based in the 1950s on one adventure-filled weekend of 4 13-year-old boys, one of the best movies ever -- and a real great intro to some '50s music you haven't yet heard, but this is one of the songs from that soundtrack. (The movie is based on an amazing Stephen King short story, FYI.)

Richie Valens was a Mexican-American who hit it big in the 50s and died at super early age i believe 18/19. He is referred to in the 'Day the Music Died" cuz he died with 2 other legends "the big bopper" and " buddy holly" in a plane crash! u should definitely check out La Bamba! describes my cultural background (sorta) very proud anyway! and the song " American Pie" by Don Mcclean is dedication song to that tragic event!

    He was only 17yrs old when he recorded this song. And also 17 yrs old when he tragically died in a plane crash. Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper who were also on the plane with him, tragically also lost their lives in that crash. That day is famously known and referred to “THE DAY MUSIC DIED”. It also was very well know that Ritchie Valens had a horrible fear of flying. And only flew as a very last resort. Otherwise he would just travel to his gigs and shows on a tour bus. It’s also documented that Ritchie and the others were never even supposed to be on a plane that night. But after the heater busted on their tour bus and it was the middle of winter in Chicago. So Buddy Holly was able last minute to charter a small private plane that night so they wouldn’t have to freeze to death in the tour bus on their way to their next show. But the plane didn’t have enough seats for everyone. And Ritchie’s seat on the plane originally was for also famous musician Waylon Jennings. But Ritchie had been battling a horrible cold for the last few days. And with Waylon knowing that he offered Ritchie his seat on the plane….. but only if Ritchie won a quick game of “Heads or Tails”. And with reports stating that Ritchie yelled out “HEADS” and I unfortunately not knowing that it would be that coin that would be deciding he unfortunate faith. So with Ritchie winning the coin toss, her boarded that plane while Waylon Jennings shutting the door to the plane from the outside, quickly making a dash for the tour bus that was about to leave for the next destination. And Waylon very much knowing that he was going to be in for a very uncomfortable freezing night of travel on the tour bus. And about 20 minutes after take off in white out conditions, all they know is the plane met it’s fate and crashed into a near bay field, killing all in board including 17yr old up and comer Ritchie Valens. It’s also been reported that Waylon Jennings for many many years following has suffered horrible “survivors guilt” and horrible depression and substance abuse stemming from that fateful night.

    So happy you also played the original. Ritchie was way ahead of his time and it's so sad to think he was only 17 when he died. He died in the same plane crash as Buddy Holly (age 22) and JP Richardson (aka The Big Bopper). The crash that inspired Don Maclean to write American Pie. The day the music died, so much talent taken from us. Other great songs from Ritchie are "Donna" which he wrote for his girlfriend, and "Come On let's go". Also please check out Buddy Holly...an absolute legend

    Since it's Christmas would you react to Dolly's "Mary Did you Know?" She sang it last year on TV for Christmas 2020, and she blew that song out of the water! It's a testament to her talent and voice even after 50 years!!! I don't know any other artist who is still going strong after 50 years and still sounds the same! It's a baffling mystery how gifted she is. I mean who can still sing like that at 74 years old!!!??? I was gobsmacked when I heard her sing this last year. Sometimes, especially after hearing this song sung with a voice that sounds like that of a 20 year old coming out of a 74 year old, I start to believe she is really an angel bc she truly has a supernatural voice and this song proves it. I've been a Dolly fan her whole career and this was the best ever. You have to hear it. Here's the link:

    A sad, but interesting note: When Ritchie was a kid, there was a mid-air crash of two planes over his school while kids were out on the playground. He wasn't at school that day, but developed a fear of airplanes and flying as a result. He died two years later in the plane crash with Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper.

    Ritchie Valens version is incredible. Los Lobos are no slouches, but Richie Valens version is just so full of life & joy.

    Wonderful video. I loved that you played the original too. The movie was huge and definitely helped introduce that amazing music into the mainstream.

    The last guy you showed is Ritchie Valens. The first guy is Lou Diamond Philips from the movie La Bamba made in the 70's.It is said Ritchie's mother heard about his death on the radio. The family got some closure with this movie.

    I really like how you listen to both versions, maybe that's a video series idea! Compare original songs to modern popular versions.

    This song (the Los Lobos version of 1987) went #1 in the US and was one of only 4 Spanish songs to hit the top 10 Billboard chart until "Despacito" in 2017 (which also went #1). The Ritchie Valens version of "La Bamba" got to #22 in 1959.

    Lou Diamond Philips actually met The Valenzuela family and became very good friends with them during and after the movie was made.

    So glad you went back to find the original. He died in the same plane wreck as Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper. What a sad day.. "The day the music died" -Don McLean wrote a whole song about it.

  • @lisac9930

    Not Ritchie Valens version. Thats lou diamond phillips, from the movie La Bamba, and Los Lobos is the band performing the song... a traditional mexican party song.

    👍👍👍 well done comparing the movie, & the Original Richie Vallance
    Do remember if I told you before, but I'll do it again.
    Wishing you all the best from 🇦🇺🦘 And stay safe from COVID..
    I love that so many young people around the world, are experiencing the music I grew up with. Most of which I love to sing along with, most of the time to within 95 - 100% of actual lyrics. But in the case of Richie Vallance, think I was only able to keep up maybe 10 or 15% accuracy, of the lyrics.. considering Richie's. Speed & my lack of Spanish..

    Do you people ever watch the video before commenting? Jay already said he knows this isn't Ritchie Valens. People are just so quick to tell someone they're wrong and they know best.

    This was from a very good movie called "La bamba" about his life, u should definitely see it
    This was rock for sure from that time, rock music back then gave the dance feels, it was long before my time but I used to party to this kinda music a lot during a part of my teens, I think the original sounds so much better due to that lengthened "bammmmba" :)
