Album Description

Reissued 1999 compilation. In 1957 the young singer/ guitarist self-penned single, 'Come On, Lets Go', immediately reached the Billboard charts. An even bigger smash, 1958's double A-side 'Donna', 'La Bamba' established Valens as the first hispano-American rock star. He was tragically killed in a plane crash on 3rd February 1959 with Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper. This album contains his classic hits.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Good CD.......2003-08-23

Good CD, but even better is the Ritchie Valens Story. It has Bob Keane doing wonderful naration of Ritchie's recording history and life. As far as "Bluebirds Over the Mountain," that is not the song that comes over the radio when you learn of Ritchie's death in the movie La Bamba. The song interrupted by the radio bulletin is "Over the Mountain and Across the Sea" performed by Johnnie and Joe.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Review.......2003-03-22

Ritchie Valens was a fantastic singer. I grew up with his music, and still like it today. I don't believe there is one song that is not good!
People who saw the movie wanted to know what the song was that was playing when the news of Ritchie's [end to life] came over the radio. It is on this recording and the title is "Bluebirds Over the Mountain". Get it and enjoy his music!
