I still get Moist Eyes when I remember that they, along with lots of Great Entertainers, Sang from their Hearts, just for us, the Fans. Eddie Cochran, Ritchie's Good Friend, was also up there in the Greatness Area..

When I was at the 50th Anniversary Tribute Concert I met a lady who saw the show in 1959 who said there was a large Hispanic community and most of the audience were there to see Richie Valens not Buddy Holly! Thanks you for your comments about us Scots. I have travelled in Spain and Spanish speaking countries for many years and tried to learn some Spanish along the way. Best wishes Alan

Another thing Buddy and Ritchie have one big thing in common is, Ritchie was a Latino who fell in love with a White Woman and Buddy was a White Man who fell in love with a Latina. To me that's very beautiful that both Icons had a similar relationship with people in their individual lives and showed us anybody can love anybody 🕊🙂
