"Ooh! My Head" by Ritchie Valens
Ritchie Valens, whose life and career was portrayed in the 1987 movie La Bamba, seemed destined to be a superstar after he achieved out of the box hits in 1958 with "Come On, Let's Go" (#42), "Donna" (#2), and "La Bamba" (#22). Valens was on that tragic flight in 1959 that also took the lives of Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper. He was only 17 years old. "Ooh! My Head" is another great tune performed by Valens that speaks to his love of rock and roll.
