He is also, of course, well-known for more tragic reasons, namely that he was one of the three rock 'n' roll stars along with Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper who died in the fateful light aeroplane crash in Iowa on February 3rd 1959 - this release marks the 60th anniversary of that fateful day, immortalised in Don McLean's 1971 hit \"American Pie\" as \"The Day The Music Died\". Ritchie was still only 17 years old when he died, but in his brief eight-month recording career he had already had three hits, two of which were in the Top 100 at the time of the accident. This collection comprises all his releases through to 1962, including the A and B sides of his singles for the Del-Fi label and all the tracks from his two studio albums \"Ritchie Valens\" and \"Ritchie\", which were not otherwise on his singles. It also includes all the tracks from his album \"In Concert At Pacoima Jr. High\", which has one side that features 'live' recordings from one of his performances, the other side comprising unfinished demos with narrative by Bob Keane, owner of the Del-Fi label. It naturally includes his No. 2 US hit \"Donna\" along with it's famous hit B side \"La Bamba\", along with his other hits \"Come On, Let's Go\", \"That's My Little Suzie\" and \"Little Girl\". It's an evocative showcase for a young talent who made a notable impact during his tragically brief career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCome on Let's Go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Framed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Donna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e La Bamba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e That's My Little Suzie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e In a Turkish Town\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Little Girl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e We Belong Together\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Stay Beside Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Big Baby Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cry Cry Cry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Paddiwack Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Boney Moronie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ooh My Head\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bluebirds Over the Mountain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hi-Tone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dooby-Dooby-Wah\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e My Darling Is Gone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hurry Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Now You're Gone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fast Freight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ritchie's Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rockin' All Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Introduction By Bob Keane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Come on Let's Go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Donna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Summertime Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e From Beyond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e La Bamba\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Introduction By Bob Keane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rhythm Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Guitar Instrumental\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Malaguena\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Rock Little Darling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Let's Rock and Roll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50521957761298,"sku":"824046328627","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/ritchie-valens-the-complete-releases-1958-60-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
