I have never seen this movie before and I realized that Richie Valens the one who sang "You're mine" "La Bamba" "Oh Danna" died at 17 years old, he became famous at 17 years old and died in an airplane crash. Very young, many people have lost of obstacles to reach fame and this guy reached fame really fast and died really fast

I absolutely love this movie and cry every time. I am a big fan of Richie Valens, Buddy Holly, and The Big Bopper. They changed music and helped it grow. They will always be missed. Talent lost too soon.

He's the youngest one that I know about. From what I heard he was afraid of flying and that one flight was his first and his last.

I have seen La Bamba. Lou Diamond Phillips played Valens.

I remember watching "La Bamba" movie when I was younger. It was a great movie when I watched in on VHS. He did die young but at least he made a few recordings before he left this planet.
