The Day The Music Died - Ritchie Valens

Ritchie Valens was probably the first real Latino rocker. This was actually Ritchie's first single - his next release, "La Bamba" and "Donna" were part of a double A-side, and both did quite well, but "Come On, Let's Go" just missed the Top 40. "American Pie" would've been too easy to go to on this day, so I pulled this one, covered by Los Lobos many years later, who stayed very true to the original.
