I'm Glad to say that a lot of Ritchie's videos have over a millions views!!!
He has been gone for 54 years, and to have that many views and interest after all that time, shows that he was and still is Great and Missed!!!
RIP Ritchie!!
Love and Miss you!

Hearing this song take shape in the studio, is one of the seminal moments in the history of rock and roll! The intro and the first verse are a synthesis of rock, Tex-Mex, and Americana in all it’s youthful, exuberant glory...thanks Richie

This is amazing! A rock & roll classic being created. It's like witnessing the birth of a beautiful baby, La Bamba!

Thanks for posting this.

Meados dos anos 60! Chumbo grosso, por aqui! O arranjo é sensacional, eterno, sendo impossível, mesmo passados tantos anos, ouvir La Bamba e ficar parado!

This kid was on the brink of something so special. His work rate was incredible for someone so young & I shudder to think how much more he would have shaped rock & modern blues music if the accident would not have happened. The same goes for Buddy...21 years old & still one of the most talented songwriters of the 20th century.

Richie Valens (Mexican-American) adapted the song "La Bamba" into a rock&roll style from the Mexican folk song "La Bamba" which was already being played in Veracruz, Mexico long before he came out with this version. Awesome!

Essa música marcou consertesa a vida de muitas pessoas, eu nasci em 1977 e essa música lembra tempos ótimos. É simplesmente um sucesso inesquecível, esse tipo de cantor faz falta nos dias de hoje.
