Description: | His first single
Come On, Let??s Go
was recorded in July 1958 at Studio B of the Gold Star
Recording Studios. Phil Spector was also recording
To Know Him Is To Love Him
with the
Teddy Bears
, and dropped by Studio B to say hello to Ritchie. Released a couple of weeks
later, Ritchie??s debut quickly became a number one in Los Angeles. The record went on to be
named ??Pick Of The Week?? in September??s issue of Billboard, soon reaching #42 on the
national charts. Valens?? follow-up was
Donna
, which went to #2 on the charts in January
1959. Not only was the record a hit, it was almost eclipsed when radio DJs discovered the B-
side,
La Bamba
, which Valens described as ??an old Mexican folk song they play at weddings?.
This also became a hit, though it only reached #22 ?? although when
La Bamba
, the 1987
biopic of Valens was released, the title song went to Number One. From this point on Valens
spent most of his time touring the West Coast and beyond, and also managed time for several
TV shows and a movie appearance in
Go, Johnny Go!
