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.

Oh Donna Lyrics
Ritchie Valens
Oh, Donna Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna Oh, Donna
I had a girl
N Donna was her name
Since she left me
I've never been the same
Cause I love my girl
Donna, oh 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, oh where can you be? - Where can you be?
Well darlin, now that your're gone
I don't know, what I'll do
All the time, and all my love for you-o-o
I had a girl
N Donna was her name
Since she left me
I've never been the same
Cause I love my girl
Donna,oh where can you be?
Where can you be?
Oh, Donna Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna Oh, Donna
Oh, Donna Oh, Donna
