What the hell is wrong with her!!! Why favor one son over the other? They’re both her children and she should love and cherish just the same!!! Sure bobs made some dumb decisions but let’s not forget Connie has a hand in it too. She lied to bob for fourteen years about who his real father was,had him sent away to a boy’s home and practically neglected him,especially when Ritchie got famous. Thank god bob pushed all that aside and became a better person tho!! Otherwise Connie would’ve more than likely lost 2 sons!!!

Elvis didn't know how to sing as great as Ritchie, and he didn't know how to act either, but he had a very handsome face, and that's why Ritchie couldn't be as famous as Elvis. Unfortunately facial appearances is the main reason, people make it, in Hollywood.

He would not have been bigger than Elvis. Elvis was a once in a lifetime phenominon. But Ritchie Valens would have been a huge star. He was a very talented pop song writer who appealed to hispanic and white kids. Ritchie would have been big, but not bigger than Elvis. Just some guy's opinion.

@@Westhelockpicker We know. Elvis as I said was a once in a lifetime phenominon. He had looks and charisma never seen before. Valens was a good songwriter but was too ethnic at that time to have been bigger than Elvis. He didn't have the looks. Valens probably would have eventually become a writer/producer.
