Details
Genre: Easy listening
Description: Includes 4 bonus tracks! During the course of his brief life, the legendary Ritchie Valens fused numerous musical genres together to form his own remarkable style. He left a lasting impact on rock & roll with his classic rocker InchLa BambaInch - a highenergy reworking of an old Mexican wedding song that Valens learned from his cousin. Ritchie put a rock & roll spin on this spirited folk tune, juicing it up with garage-rock riffing and a raw, enthusiastic solo. In essence, he invented Latino rock with this two-minute rock & roll classic. It's driving simplicity foreshadowed garage-rock, frat-rock and punk-rock. Ironically, InchLa BambaInch was the B-side of InchDonnaInch, a dedication to Valens' girlfriend that rose to number 2 on Billboard's singles chart. InchLa BambaInch also charted, but only climbed as high as number 22. This double-sided smash marks one of the greatest rock & roll singles of the Fifties. Album Tracks 1. That S My Little Suzie 2. In a Turkish Town 3. Come on, Let S Go 4. Donna 5. Bony-Moronie 6. Ooh My Head 7. Cry, Cry, Cry 8. Hurry Up 9. La Bamba 10. Bluebirds Over the Mountain 11. Hi-Tone 12. Framed 13.

Good album
I have to get this album, I have bought the soundtrack of La Bamba , but I wanted to hear the real Ritchie Valens singing. it's a shame that he died so young age 17.
Good album for my collection.

A real American Jewel. Who knows how far this young man could have gone. But the seeds he planted will remain indelible in Rock history.
