Ritchie was 17 when he died, he was just a kid and he wrote this timeless classic song as well as others, who could dislike this song? A bunch of pricks. This kid was a pure talent, unlike the garbage we see on American idol and x factor today.
My grandpa knew ritchie, they played in my grandpa's garage in high school and my great grandma hated it because it was "rock" my grandmas brother knew Donna alittle, they had classes together. Small world
My unforgettable wife Donna died just over nine years ago but she has never left me and I still talk to her every day. This is a sweet Richie Valens song but what would I give to have my Donna back, even if it is for just one more moment so that I can tell her again just how much I love her.
Oh, Donna, oh, Donna
Oh, Donna, oh, Donna
I had a girl
Donna was her name
Since she left me
I've never been the same
'Cause I love my girl
Donna, where can you be?
Where can you be?
Now that you're gone
I'm left all alone
All by myself
To wander and roam
'Cause I love my girl
Donna, where can you be?
Where can you be?
Well, darlin', now that you're gone
I don't know what I'll do
All time and all my love for you
I had a girl
Donna was her name
Since she left me
I've never been the same
'Cause I love my girl
Donna, where can you be?
Where can you be?
Oh, Donna, oh, Donna
Oh, Donna, oh, Donna
Oh

I was nickednamed la bamba coz wen I was still young i loved de song and stl I listen to it everyday
I’m watching Labamba. It’s so sad that he didn’t get to live out his life with Donna. He was so talented and too young to die.
Stars fell from the sky that day.
Son- Why does it seem like all of the good people die early?
Dad- If you were picking flowers in a garden, which ones would you pick?
Son- The best ones...
