Lip syncing to the music of Los Lobos, no other band could've done Ritchie justice like they did! RIP to the "Three Stars" sung about so beautifully by Buddy's good friend Eddie Cochran ❤❤
I remember when I was a little kid my mom would play this movie, it was probably the first 50s rock n roll song I ever heard. Ever since I’ve always loved 50s music. I was born in 96
Richie Havens Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper we're all killed in a plane crash in 1963. The song American Pie by Don McLean is supposed to be about this
Richie Valens was killed in a helicopter crash with The Big Bopper and Buddy Holly. They were leaving a concert at the surf ballroom in clear lake, Iowa. Don McLean's song, American Pie, is written about the tragedy 😢.
I've seen this movie multiple times. All his songs were fire. It' sad he left us so early in his career and so young. RIP. Other Come on, let's go, Donna, We belong together, Ooh, my head, That's my little Suzie, an Boney-Moronie.
You should watch the movie 'La Bamba' starring Lou Diamond Phillips as Ritchie Valens. He did a fantastic job of portraying Ritchie. I grew up listening to music from the 50's (I was born in '61 - rocking 60 yrs old now!!). I just love rock-n-roll. Taught my son the love of rock too. When he was a teen he would tell me & his dad to "turn it down" when we would start jamming with the stereo. LOL. Now he's a musician and artist himself. I so enjoy watching those of you from the younger generations discover & fall in love with the music I grew up with. Keep on Rockin!
The sad thing was Ritchie Valens hated flying and didn’t want to go on the plane but was going to take a bus I believe to there next gig. But went on the plane by a coin toss.
Little known fact: Waylon Jennings was the bass player in Buddy Holly's band. From what I have been told Waylon is the guy who actually lost the coin toss to Ritchie. The last time. Waylon Jennings remembered talking to Buddy Holly, the frontman was chiding him for chickening out of the plane ride. "I hope your damn bus freezes up again," Holly said, smiling. Jennings replied with the words that haunted him for years: "Well, I hope your ol' plane crashes." Makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up, doesn't it?
"Fake Richey" is Lou Diamond Phillips. You probably know him from other stuff, but I couldn't tell ya what he's been in in the past 20 years, because I gave up on keeping track of TV and the movies about then.
It was so good, that Selena made a cover for it. Both version are great just depending on what style you're looking to hear. Makes me think they could do a mash-up for another land of the dead movie like coco
Oh man! Some how I lost my second comment. SMH. Just when the live chat had finished. I pressed send. Not sure what happened to it. Oh well.. All I had said was Los Lobos does a great version of La Bamba. Los Lobos has even played at the White House for Prez Obama! 🙌
This is definitely from the movie, and this version of La Bamba is by Los Lobos. For more Lobos awesomeness I recommend Kiko and the Lavender Moon, and look up the day the music died.
Val-Nz not Vail-Nz,,, heheh saw this movie in the drive-in,, thats right i said drive in lol,.,..,first time i saw my mom cry at a movie, never understood why, but growing up i understood it was the death of Son, and she had 2,,, lov eya reaction, these bring up awsum memories
This was a clip from the movie "La Bamba" and the group "Los Lobos" Good movie, but NOT Ritchie Valens. only the story of...... "Donna" is also a great, original (Love)song and a true story from Ritchie......
WHAT IS WITH ALL YOU PEOPLE HERE -- THIS IS A MOVIE -- IT'S NOT RICHIE VALENS -- WHAT'S UP -- FIND A TRACK -- OR A VIDEO FROM THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW OR SOMETHING - WE DON'T COME HERE TO WATCH MOVIES ABOUT THE ARTISTS WE COME TO HEAR THE ORIGINAL.
This is not Ritchie Valens original version of this song. It is a cover by the band Los Lobos performing and singing with actor Lou Diamond Philips lip syncing for a movie in 1987. You are NOT hearing Ritchie Valens. I'm out.
Yes, the video is from the movie. The person you are seeing is actor Lou Diamond Phillips.
Lou should have got the best actor award of 1987

WHAT? Ritchie VALENS not Havens, Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper were killed in a plane crash in 1959 NOT 1963. Get your facts straight.
1959
Richie Valens was killed in a helicopter crash with The Big Bopper and Buddy Holly. They were leaving a concert at the surf ballroom in clear lake, Iowa. Don McLean's song, American Pie, is written about the tragedy 😢.
It was a small plane my friend

And he was terrified to fly :( Great song!! Yes, this video is from the movie and that is Lou Diamond Phillips as Ritchie Valens.
This is actor Lou Diamond Phillips. this is not Richie he died yrs ago. but it is an awesome movie.
Oh Donna is another Richie Valens song that you should check out ☮️♥️😎

That was a fun song! I can't believe you don't recognize it from movies.

Loved his character on Longmire❤️
Ritchie was sick so Waylon Jennings gave up his seat on the plane and he took the long bus ride home. He lived with terrible survivors remorse.
It was so good, that Selena made a cover for it. Both version are great just depending on what style you're looking to hear. Makes me think they could do a mash-up for another land of the dead movie like coco
nice voce and nice guitar, Arriba la Bamba.....
The day the music died when their plane crashed.
That was Lou Diamond Phillips first movie
you should check out Come On, Let's Go by Valens

La bamba is the bamba which is a Mexican dance
I'm so glad a friend teaching me Spanish taught me the words😂
Let's Go is another good Richie Valens oh and We Belong Together
This is definitely from the movie, and this version of La Bamba is by Los Lobos. For more Lobos awesomeness I recommend Kiko and the Lavender Moon, and look up the day the music died.
Look up "LA BAMBA", the definition and translation of the song. The song is much older than Richie Valenz (Valenzuela, not Vaylance) ;-)
Valens not Valenz
Val-Nz not Vail-Nz,,, heheh saw this movie in the drive-in,, thats right i said drive in lol,.,..,first time i saw my mom cry at a movie, never understood why, but growing up i understood it was the death of Son, and she had 2,,, lov eya reaction, these bring up awsum memories
That was Lou Diamond Phillips. And it's pronounced VAAAL-ENS. LIKE AL WITH A V....
Please check out Tony Jackson singing ‘Only Make Believe’ (also by Conway Twitty . Both versions are great but Tony is on fire!)
It's party time! 🎉💃
Bro you GOTTA listen to “come on let’s go” by Ritchie valens or “chantilly lace” by the big bopper
If the movie is accurate, Ritchie Valens didn't even know Spanish (Mexican or otherwise!)
This was a clip from the movie "La Bamba" and the group "Los Lobos" Good movie, but NOT Ritchie Valens. only the story of......
"Donna" is also a great, original (Love)song and a true story from Ritchie......
That is not Valens, what you are hearing is Los Lobos.
you should listen to Armin VanBuurens album Mirage or Intense
I’d love to see you react to Selena Quintanilla 😭💙
watch the 1987 La Bamba movie
React to Wyclef Jean's version of La bamba featuring Ro-K and Gammy
The original version of this song sound netter.
Come on let's go
Pleaseeee Dire straits - tunnel of love LIVE Wembley 🌻💙
Dude, now try Lambada by Koama! 🙏🏻🥰❤️
Apparently Fernando Valenzuela was Richies cousin
Also do LOS LOBOS band cover of La Bamba LIVE concert !!l
Wait what no this jam there is no way you hear this first time?
Oh, no....like others mentioned...your video isn't from Richie Valens-- it's from a movie about him. :(
WHAT IS WITH ALL YOU PEOPLE HERE -- THIS IS A MOVIE -- IT'S NOT RICHIE VALENS -- WHAT'S UP -- FIND A TRACK -- OR A VIDEO FROM THE ED SULLIVAN SHOW OR SOMETHING - WE DON'T COME HERE TO WATCH MOVIES ABOUT THE ARTISTS WE COME TO HEAR THE ORIGINAL.
It's the fake Richie. Please also check out the song he sang. It goes on and gets better.
This is not Ritchie Valens original version of this song. It is a cover by the band Los Lobos performing and singing with actor Lou Diamond Philips lip syncing for a movie in 1987. You are NOT hearing Ritchie Valens. I'm out.
Dude. Fail.
