Profile: Ritchie Valens
Sunday October 30, 2005
He's remembered chiefly as one of the "three stars" killed on The Day The Music Died, but the career of Ritchie Valens, tragically brief as it was, means more than that -- means more even than his status as a pioneer in Latin-American rock and roll. This profile, the latest in a series on rock's most important oldies artists, contains biographical details, trivia, info on his movies, and a look at why his life should be remembered before his death.

Hi My name is Matthew and im only 21 but i must say i am a huge fan of The Late great Ritchie Valens, he was my child hood hero as a young boy and still is today. i think it is very important that we remember young ritchie not because he was 17 when his life and career was cut tragically short, but for what he did and what he went threw to get to there. to me Ritchie Valens will always be a legend in my eyes. WE LOVE YOU RITCHIE !!!!
