Ritchie Valens - Come On Lets Go [MP4]

Ritchie Valens Richard Steven Valenzuela (May 13, 1941 – February 3, 1959), known professionally as Ritchie Valens, was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. A rock and roll pioneer and a forefather of the Chicano rock movement, Valens’ recording career lasted eight months, as it abruptly ended when he died in a plane crash. During this time, he had several hits, most notably “La Bamba“, which he adapted from a Mexican folk song.

On February 3, 1959, on what has become known as “The Day the Music Died“, Valens died in a plane crash in Iowa, an accident that also claimed the lives of fellow musicians Buddy Holly and J. P. “The Big Bopper“ Richardson, as well as pilot Roger Peterson. Valens was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001. Go, Johnny, Go! Go, Johnny Go! is a
