a true rock and roll legend who has opened the doors for young hispanic performers, Ritchie was a true inspiration, proof that you CAN make it to the top, a great performer taken away from us too soon
And he never gotten a chance to see/have a child at least with Donna! Such a tragedy his brother mother soo sad 😞 I just finished watching his movie La Bamba may Ritchie sleep in peace. People like us hate planes for a reason tbh he should’ve stuck with his instincts but may he be with the lord thy god now. Imagine the fear pumping through him during the last moments of life smh 😪
I was 5 years old in 1990 and i remember singing to this song all day long. I had this song on repeat on my old school tiny pink cassette player. I fell in love with his music and till this day when i hear just a few syllables of music that may sound similiar to Ritchies songs i go back in time. I dont think i belonged in the 90s, 2000s, my soul is from the 40s and 50s ❤ Golden Era 💯
I HAD SUCH A HAPPY TIME IN THE LATE 50' AND EARLY 60'S..COULD NOT GET ENOUGH DANCING AT LEAST 3 TIMES A WEEK....LOVED THE TIMES....WE WERE LUCKY TO HAVE THOSE YEARS.
Love ya and you Frances Tetes love your friend an angel with god we wilL all see her sooon and we all love her and you and everyone out there so much is being the whole family world:):):)💗💕❤️🦆💥😇😆😇😆😎

You were taken from us way too young 💔. R I P Ritchie Valens you are missed very much 😢. Such a powerful singer and only 17 years old. You will always be in my heart and prayers always.
I was watching that 70’s show and it was that episode where Eric and Donna broke up and Eric turned this song on the radio when he was sad and it made me wanna go to the actual song😂
Ritchie Valens, you, Big Bopper and Buddy Holly will be adored and admired forever, you were not only great talents at such young ages taken tragically much too soon, but you were well grounded&decent men that really seemed mature and wise beyond your years, it's an endearing quality. Although you lived and passed before I was born, your music has always been part of my life, thank u for the gift of your talents and your legacy that still lives on.
la verdad hoy supe de la existencia de este gran cantante, tan joven y con tanto talento lo escucho y me lleva a esos años, yo no vivi esa epoca pero me imagino por las peliculas estilo greasse y me da una calma.
From spain.....love so much his music for "eternity"his voice Was so clever n tender .....Smooth wit certain attitude calm from spain totally nice n beauty song greetings frlm spain rip ritchie valens
They all died young. I always wonder where our quality of music would be,if all the deceased would have never died?!? A lot of great artist perished! Sad and sick at stomach to think. This music I grew up with! Makes me sob sometimes! Was such a different time. Than now!!
About 30 years ago it was a little rough day for my mama she was feeling a little sorry for herself her name was Donna and me and my dad saw her over the corner playing this song and singing along it was so cute I said aww mom went over and give her a big hug and kiss anyway I share that with you guys I'll always love my mom and I'll always love this song
I never heard of this song until yesterday when my lady friend started singing this song, I was so surprised and proud of her because she just started singing without the music, she is a great friend to me, and now when I hear the song donna by Ritchie valens I think of her singing
Ritchie Valens authored this about his girlfriend, Donna Ludwig. They started dating in 1957 after meeting at a party where Valens was performing. They stayed together until Ritchie’s died in the plane crash that also killed Buddy Holly on February 3, 1959. Valens had won a coin toss to get a seat on the airplane, beating Tommy Allsup, a member of Holly’s band. A 17-year-old Ritchie Valens audiotaped this in LA merely a few months before his demise. “Donna” (1958) became his BREAKOUT HIT❕ The B-side to this single was “La Bamba,” a traditional Mexican song Valens’ producer suggested. “La Bamba” ended up being Valens’ most famous piece in 1987, when Los Lobos recorded it for the movie “La Bamba,” and it reached the #1 spot in America. A month after Ritchie passed, Marty Wilde’s cover of “Donna” hit #3 in the UK. 💙🎵💜 May you rest in peace, forever young Richard Steven Valenzuela (1941 - 1959)… 🌹
Quelle magnifique chanson 🥰 j’ai adoré le film qu’ils ont fait pour raconter sa vie et son tragique destin. Je ne l’ai vu qu’une fois et j’adorerais qu’il repasse à la télé, au lieu de nous mettre des téléfilms, séries… à la con toute l’année sur toutes les chaînes 😞
Agradeço a Deus e essas pessoas como desse canal pois eu com 46 anos fui descobrir esse talento gente música tão linda um tesouro esquecido que falta de amor poderia divulgar mais esse talento ...fico feliz com o dono do canal parabéns
Im English, born almost 10 years after Richie died...but he's still a star in England. There's a big rock and roll scene and kids not even born when the 87 film came out love his music
Remembering Ritchie Valens born on May 13, 1941. He was an American guitarist, singer and songwriter. A rock and roll pioneer and a forefather of the Chicano rock movement. Valens had several hits, most notably "La Bamba", which he had adapted from a Mexican folk song. He also had an American number-two hit with "Donna". - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritchie_Valens
Such a sad, but well-remembered talent! Ritchie went from obscurity to four hit records in a career that spanned only 8 months when he tragically died at only 17. So sad. What else did you have in store for the world?
And he never gotten a chance to see/have a child at least with Donna! Such a tragedy his brother mother soo sad 😞 I just finished watching his movie La Bamba may Ritchie sleep in peace. People like us hate planes for a reason tbh he should’ve stuck with his instincts but may he be with the lord thy god now.
He represented the culture of Mexicans and Hispanics and Chicanos alike. Before anyone else. He's the King of this music 🎵🎶🎵🎶❤❤❤❤❤
So talented ❤

Mostly all the Spanish speaking persons think selena quintanilla was the first latina to sing on english and spanish on USA

Thank you for the background - so sad.
I was born in 1998 and I love Ritchie Valens. So sad that he died. His music lives on in everyone forever.
THE BEST OLD MUSIC
I don't know, but I get choked when I hear Ritchie Valens and Buddy Holly's music. Is it because they left us so young, or the meaning of their songs?
@Marshall Carwood it's not like they INVENTED rock n roll
@Marshall Carwood 😓 ok buddy
Buddy Holly age 22
Ritchie Valens age 17
Big Bopper age 28
Both and the fact that music back then makes a lot more sense as they reflect people's emotions and the spirit of the times.
Look up Anthony Martin on fb I think it’s his grandson
I was just leaving school when this song came out still love this great singer. R.i.p Ritchie and hope your still singing in heaven
Love how his songs are mainly in English . I’m a non Spanish speaking Mexican so I can finally here this kinda music in English lol
You's more ore of a clown than anything else

How is this relevant, ritchie was literally born in california and couldnt speak a lick of spanish anyways
@@RicketyQuickity he has songs in Spanish tho
@@smokedoutpositivesquad9463 you dont need to know spanish to sing the language, he could understand though

I was 8 years old when they died. I did not know them at that time. Today I still listen to their music. It is truly timeless.
