About this movie
Obsessed with music and full of dreams, Ritchie Valens (Lou Diamond Phillips) bursts into the glittering world of 1950's rock with a string of chart-busting singles. Ritchie clings to the love of his girlfriend, is haunted by a growing conflict with his half-brother and has eerie premonitions of his own death. © 1987 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc.

This film might be a year or two older than me. But this was one of my childhood films. Of course it was only till I got abit older that's when I realised it was based on Richie Valens.

Brilliant film. Very moving exceptional acting by the cast. This is a must see movie based on the short life of a very tallented Ritchie Valens.
