The only biography and analysis of the music of Ritchie Valens, who has become an American folk hero, this exceptional and critically praised book includes 23 pages of photographs. The book also contains material on the film La Bamba (including photographs) and on the relationship between Valens and Los Lobos, as well as a comprehensive discography and bibliography.

"You've seen the movie, you've bought the reissues, you've heard the cover versions, now check out the real story of Ritchie Valens . . . a well-written tribute." - Goldmine
