Boney Moronie

[@judyvareberg2275]

17 years old he loved singing and playing that guitar. This was truly a tragedy all the way around. Just think of the music we missed out on. He was just starting out. So sorry this happened to you Richie. Boney Maronie is my favorite. You left this world way to soon.

[@FritsKist]

Don't moan on what we missed, be glad for what we got!

[@jussix48]

​@@FritsKist But we got just so little because he was way too young to die at that early age. We could really have got much more fine music from him, many suppose, that's a clear point, too... 🕵🏻🙂👌

This makes me think of hippies crusin in a Cadillac at night in 1967

[@jorgelopez-pr6dr]

Ritchie Valens regrettably was almost forgotten in the sixties (happened the same to Holly, the Big Bopper and Eddie Cochran). Sadly that innocence was lost with the political assassinations, drugs, Vietnam , the venenous influence of the Frankfurt School in education and above all, with the guys from Liverpool. I don't think that any respectable hippie would have that (then) outmoded music in his car. He would have been considered "square".

[@upstateguitar]

I love how that bass is so up front in the mix Wonder if that's a Danelectro, the sound of it reminds me of John Entwistle's 'solo on My Generation'.

[@dinodeluca6210]

It's actually a Fender Bass six played by the great Rene Hall

[@BillWeinman]

@Brandi832 a Fender Six is not a normal bass - it's essentially a long-scale Jazzmaster tuned down an octave - it's great for stuff like this!

[@markconnorsmusic]

I believe it's a Danelectro 6 string bass or a Baritone guitar. Fender Bass VI wasn't released until 1961.

Niko here I mean he only had an 8 month career

[@Nikohere]

@@jovanym2931 eh I don't look at it that way..look for instance the Jackson 5 when berry Gordy brought them on in mo town records then marvin gaye too came in..marvin gaye his #1 hits to me is the grapevine then another was one where he does solo with some girl think was in the 60s. Then you got stevie wonder only so little of his songs are favorites to many fans..one of em I personally like by SW is skeletons, not a real big hit compared to ebony eyes or my cherie amour.

[@jovanym2931]

Niko here The jackson 5 were famous in the 80s Ritchie was starting out in the 50s I say he would have gotten many new hits . It was a whole different era.No to mention he was still in school and had only dropped out of high school to make more music. When he died he was working on doing a rock and roll version of malagueña which would have surely been a big hit like LA BAMBA , framed , and ohh my head where already big hits as well . There is no doubt he would have made more hits . He was only 17 buddy holly only a few big hits too they both died young and had a short career

[@Nikohere]

@@jovanym2931 about. Jackson 5 gotten fame way before the 80s man..in the 80s it was about prince or Michael Jackson or Queen. Jackson 5 was from the late 60s to early 70s when they got top of the charts man

[@Nikohere]

@@jovanym2931 eh yeah who knows if ritchie would've made more hits im sure he would have & im sure if elvis hadn't suffered that overdose then he would've continued on his career & be touring around right now..singing & still record albums like Tony bennett still does every now & then like he did w Amy whinehouse

I've always always questioned weather Ritchie valens ever played on his on studio records. Because, there's 2 guitars on the majority of his songs. And credit show other names as guitarists on his songs... However, with that being said, On the outro of this song you can really hear, something that credence Clearwater revival or john fogerty will be using very often 10 years later...
