THE RITCHIE VALENS STORY contains hits, B-sides and demos .

Ritchie Valens's death in the same 1959 airplane crash that claimed Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper remains one of the greatest tragedies of early rock & roll. Valens was only 17 years old at the time, standing at the very beginning of his musical career, full of promise and unrealized potential.
