Ritchie Valens and The Day The Music Died



I am sure many of you reading this blog are familiar with the sad untimely death of Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper in a plane crash. These are of course some of the great of 1950's rock and roll and all of us music fans wish we could hear the amazing music they would have made into the 1960's and maybe 70's (or even 80's and 90's), if they had lived. The following is a 1959 article from Photoplay magazine that is a tribute to Ritchie Valens after this happened.






Since this song was mentioned quite a bit in this article, here is Ritchie Valens performing We Belong Together
