Considering that his career only lasted 8 months, the influence Ritchie Valens has had on popular music seems incredible. He was only 17 years-old when he was killed in a plane crash along with fellow passengers Buddy Holly and J.P. 'The Big Bopper' Richardson, but in his short music career he managed to become a Rock 'n' Roll pioneer that inspired generations to come. Featured here are his greatest hits, including his trademark tune, "La Bamba".
