My wife and I drove up from San Antonio to be at the 50th anniversary show. We met a couple that night who had seen the Feb. 3rd, 1959 show at the Surf as teenagers, and had returned all those years later. It was an amazing night in spite of being 6 BELOW zero outside. Many, many stars, as well as Bopper"s son, Ritchie's family, and Buddy's widow, Maria Elana were there. The next morning we went back and I got to stand on the stage in the spot where they had performed 50 years earlier for their final time. It was moving beyond words.
On Quora, I was once asked about things to see in Iowa. I gave a long list, and the ending item was the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa where Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper sang their last songs.
I've been on that stage as well. The only other place I've felt that kind of feeling is at the studio at the Motown museum in Detroit. It's a sacred place for anyone who loves music.
Of course he was. He lost a brother at a young age. Losing a sibling sucks at any age but when it happens when they are forever remembered in their youthful days it hurts. You never get over it. I speak from personal experience. On top of it all as an older sibling it adds to the pain thinking you didn’t protect them or save them. Anyone who claims they get over that are full of…
When I was a little boy I watched labamba and loved it, it's what made me want to play guitar, now I'm 38 and have been playing guitar for over 20 years now
Also, when they were filming La Bamba for the scene where they get into the plane, it was either Ritchie's mother or sister, when they were filming that scene, she ran over to the actor who played Ritchie, hugged him for a while telling him to not go.
I love Ritchie's music...I never heard of him until La Bamba the movie came out; but I fell in love with his music ...Thank you for sharing his story so his music and his legacy can live on in future generations.
I’m a big doo wop & 50’s music fanatic even dough I’m only 50…I’m born & raised in NYC & I remember seeing the movie back in 87 when I was only 13…till this day, I still full blast Richie Valence Music & other 1950’s artist while cleaning my room. I wasn’t there in the 50’s yet in my opinion, is 1 of the best & greatest era, decade, time & generation through out the entire 1900’s
I'm only 15 and know most of his songs that just proofs how good and inspirational his music was, thank you Ritchie and the Valenzuela family for this lovely music you will be missed.
I just introduced my son to Richie Valens last night as we watched La Bamba together. I saw it in the theater when it came out and I still get emotional when I hear his music. Going to play some music today and guess who's on my play list? Yep, Richie,Buddy and The Big Bopper :) RIP
WOW. I can’t believe it has been 60 years. I was born in 1962 so of course I did not know any of this until La Bamba came out. I loved the movie. I also grew up in the San Fernando Valley (North Hollywood). Rest In Peace Ritchie.
It’s 60 years now and I’m still influenced by the musics of Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly and J. P. Richardson. Rock and Roll is alive, it’s a vibration and it will never die. 😔🙏🏼🎸🎸🎸🎶🎵🎶
This was one of the saddest days of my life! Buddy Holly was my idol, and I loved the Big Bopper and Richie Valens too. I still play their music, it will go on forever. They died, but their memories and music never will! ❤️😥😥😥 R.I.P. guys🙏
I Started Playing Guitar Because of Richie Valens. He was my Rock N Roll Hero when I was 7. I can't Believe he past away at 17. He's a Legend & Deserves His Name In The Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame. Richie Valens Is A Hero That's Why I play guitar because Of His Life Film La Bamba! Love His Music!
In 1988 my husband is leaving the air force station in Minot North Dakota it was a November how we had decided that we would stop by the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake Iowa and I'm glad you did we took several pictures and the monument in the memory has a Big Bopper Ritchie Valens and Buddy Holly still have those pictures I got to peek inside the surf ballroom it had been left as it was that night as a crash it was a nice beautiful little place with a dance floor looking in there I was thinking about the music the talent all these wonderful entertainers that hat must have been that night
My aunt and uncle are buried in the San Fernando Mission Cemetery. Two rows away from Richie Valence and his mom Connie. When my California cousins go to the cemetary for their parents they stop by Rivhie Valence 's grave. There are always fresh flowers there. Maybe from a family member or maybe from Donna.
@@shadow7683 Donna was his teenage girlfriend. Peggy Sue was married to one of the guys in Buddy Hollies band. The song was originally titled for Buddy's Texas girlfriend but the record company people thought Peggy Sue sounded better. How do I know my hobby is record collecting. 50's and early 60's.
My sister Rosie from Rosie and The Originals asked Richie's family if she could re record La Bam Bam. Well they borrowed he's Guitar from the Rock and Roll hall of fame. And let Rosie's band use it for good luck. True story.... Love you Sis. Juanita. Hamlin. 7 21 45. To3 30 2017. 7 21 2019
Juanita Hamlin My mom and dad’s song was Angel Baby. They’re both passed on. They were from the 50’s and My brother and I grew up with many songs from that era. God bless you
I cry everytime I watch the movie, watch interviews or read articles about Ritchie, Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper and listen to Ritchie's music, especially Donna. You're not alone :(
Of course Selena Quintanilla made her version of La Bamba because she was obviously inspired by Ritchie. He was before her time and he deserves way more credit than her. I knew who Ritchie Valens was long before her. I never heard of Selena until years after her death. If it wasn't for Ritchie Valens, there wouldn't have been Selena.
My grandma is Latina and she told me the stories of Selena and Ritchie when I was around 5 and I had forgotten about Ritchie because I would hear Selena’s music more but I remembered him last year in my 6th grade music class when my teacher started talking about him
@@kevinasantiago8799 I couldn't tell what you really thought to say, but but for some reason your delivery was a bit dismissive and cold towards Selena for no reason, like we didn't know Ritchie came before her🙄
@@leelohaskin7941 I don’t know what you mean. Cold towards that girl Selena for no reason? I just stated that how she was inspired through him, and that may have somewhat helped her career. I never said that you or anyone else didn’t know he was before her time. He even inspired Carlos Santana, who help with the music for the movie La Bamba. He’s of course playing the guitars that are heard throughout the film during the scenes. He is a successful rocker thanks to Ritchie who he pays homage too. So again, not sure what you a saying, but many people seem to jump and defend something that’s not worth defending when one is just starting truth. It’s nothing rude or dismissive at all. That’s funny how nothing can be said about a regular person with the title “celebrity “ attached to them, because if so you get you head bitten off.
This made me tear up I was so small when I watch the movie la Bamba in the 80’s and I quickly loved his music I grew up hearing his music in my Hispanic home in parties or any family event until this day I show my children who is Ritchie he is missed so much and the other great singers they all 3 are legends RIP
A amazing story from those he loved . And we are all so blessed to have been able to listen and appreciate the music . He loved making. He is among my favorite rock and roll artists of all time. God watches over them . And since I never had to chance here . I hope , wish and pray I will be able to enjoy a concert of them all in heaven one day.
It has now been 60 years ago that the music died. They are gone but never forgotten.R.I.P.T o Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, and The Big Bopper( J.P.Richardson!💝
At not quite five years old, I was a big fan of Ritchie and Buddy, and I watched the daily American Bandstand. (An older cousin told my Mother I knew more about music than him!) I had lost my beloved Grandmother less than 6 months before. Ritchie and Buddy was when I first lost heroes. Thank you for sharing.
Watching the clip and others like it bring tears and an ache to my heart. Very tragic for the familys and community of rock n roll. R I.P Buddy H. Big B. and Richie V.
"La Bamba" has ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MOVIES, I use to dance to his music, even tho I was born in 1962, I have to my celebrity boyfriend, a well known actor (mainly), and musician (a member of the Hollywood Vampires), if he ever wants to get on my good side, to sing one of Richie Valens's songs
Very sad that such a nice and talented young man life's ended so tragically. I don't have a brother, but if I were a little sister and had such an awesome bro, I'd be devastated by his passing. Was wondering how come his brother Mario wasn't in the movie.
@@googalacticgoo Oh dear...sorry I missed that or perhaps I was so focussed on Ritchie that I didn't take notice much of the other characters. At least he had an awesome life, no matter how short it was.
Wow. God bless you all. From Buena Park CA USA love you guys. Miss him also wishing I could talk to you all some how he was simply amazing thank you for sharing this with us all and him so very much sorry for your loss 😢😢😢😢
Ritchie's songs lived on in TV shows and movies, like Grease 1978 movie. One scene, it was the dancing scenes. And I heard it the very first time, and I didn't know that Ritchie sung. And I loved the song.
Music is what keeps us going! It makes us calm, excited, hyped up. I have so many thought and memories through it, especially The Day The Music Died. What would they all have done with there music. Would they have knocked the King off the mountain? Would they have squashed the Beetles? Would they been able to top The stones? What if? And who knows. Every Generation has there falling rock stars.
sadly the real Bob Morales has died today (1938-2018) diagnosed w Prostate cancer in 2012 & suffered long until his death & also depression from his brother Ritchie's death in 1959.
Wow, great job! I know this is almost 10 years old, but this is the first time I've seen it. Doesn't matter, it still seems just as timely. Anyway, it was new to me, and I really enjoyed it. Thanks!
My Buddy Albert Lee is a honorary cricket .He goes near every year to the surf to commemorate with the remaining crickets the last gig .He went to the Feb 2019 one just gone.He has played with the crickets on lead guitar a lot .
