Richie Valens Hall of Fame Live From The Archive NAMA11

[@alexwilde1975]

Who cares if Lou didn't look like Ritchie. He did an amazing job portraying this hugely talented modest young man. Because of this film Ritchie will live on. Its desperately sad that this amazing kid was taken too soon. He wrote extremely catchy memorable songs and I'm in no doubt he wouldn't have been a three or four hit wonder and would have gone on to have a long career writing music that would have stood the test of time. What an utterly devastating and untimely loss he was too the music business. Now reunited with his mother resting in eternal peace.

There's nothing, no interviews, no merchandise, no video clips, his career was literally just taking off right before we could get all that would be valuable shit, thats why he is such a myth, such a legend, all we got is the music, lots of it counting the short time he had to produce it, we love you Ritchie.

[@robdcollector2808]

RockedThe/CrapOut ....his manager claims he produced and wrote all the songs...but was dumb enough to have richies name take the credit and that he was only 17...never being able to write more than a few lines of a song and that his mananger wrote and finished everything. This was the time before Royalties came into play.
