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.

You're mine
And we belong together
Yes, we belong together
For eternity
You're mine
Your lips belong to me
Yes, they belong to only me
For eternity
You're mine, my baby
And you'll always be
I swear by everything I own
You'll always, always be mine
You're mine
And we belong together
Yes, we belong together
For eternity.
