About

Richard Steven Valenzuela was an American musician, songwriter, and guitarist of Mexican descent, born in Pacoima (San Fernando Valley), in the suburb of Los Angeles.

He had no support from his father and only the support of his mother. Ritchie became famous performing rock songs. His major hit was the song "La Bamba", which later lent its name to a film about his life. It was also covered by the group Los Lobos almost 30 years later.

During the early days of rock and roll, Ritchie Valens's career was on the rise. However, on February 3, 1959, Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Valens died in a plane crash. After a performance at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, the small plane they were traveling in entered a blinding snowstorm and crashed into Albet Juhl's cornfield, a few miles later, at 1:05 a.m. The crash became known as "the day the music died", later depicted in the song "American Pie" by Don McLean.
