La Bamba

A #1 single, great cameos and a classic tragedy scenario make this a top tier music biopic.

- At the first family party, the old lady sitting by Ritchie and the man is Ritchie Valens’ mother, Connie Valenzuela.

- Thank god for re-writes. The original title was simply Let's Go.

- The band playing the traditional folk version of "La Bamba" at the club in Tijuana is the band Los Lobos, who performed all of the Ritchie Valens music for the film. The guitar player next to the bass player is David Hidalgo, who provided Lou Diamond Phillips’ singing voice.
