The professional career of Ritchie Valens lasted a period of eight months, during which time he recorded some very influential songs of the 1950s rock and roll era. Richard Steven Valenzuela was born in Pacoima, a suburb of Los Angeles, on May 13, 1941. Brought up hearing traditional Mexican mariachi music, as well as flamenco guitar, R&B and jump blues, by the age of 5 he expressed an interest in making music of his own. He was encouraged by his father to take up guitar and trumpet, and it is also known that he later taught himself the drums. One day, a neighbour came across Ritchie trying to play a guitar that had only two strings.

Well, come on let's go
Let's go, let's go, little darlin'
And tell me that you're never leaving
Come on, come on, let's go-a
Again, again and again
Well now, swing me, swing me
All the way down there
Come on let's go little darlin'
Let's go, let's go again, once more
Well, I love you so, oh girl
And I'll never let you go
Come on baby, so
Oh pretty baby, I love you so
Let's go, let's go, let's go
Little sweetheart
And then we can always be together
Come on, come on, let's go again
(Ritchie & Rene - guitars & instrumental) 'go on'
I love you so, oh girl
And I'll never let you go
Come on baby, it's so
Oh pretty baby, I-I love you so
Let's go, let's go, let's go, little darlin'
They're dancin' and we'll be long here
Come on let's go, let's go-a
Again, again and again and again
Again, again and again and again
Again, again and again and again
FADES-
Again, again and again and again.
