Lou Diamond Phillips made a big splash playing Latino rocker Ritchie Valens way back in 1987. Seeing the film recently saddened me at the loss of Elisabeth Pena who was taken too early from her career. The story is pretty accurate albeit a formula musical biographical film that ends none too pleasantly for Valens, the Big Bopper and it might have been Buddy Holly on the plane as well. If you were a teen in the 60's this is a must see.
