Ritchie Valens - Donna

This one doesn't played as much as "La Bamba," but it's a great song.

Buddy Holly was 22. At 28, the Big Bopper was the old man of them.

Imagine that crash had not happened. Imagine Buddy Holly in particular. He had an incredible influence on the music, including the Beatles. If he'd lived? I think the music of the 60s might have been very different.
