Lou Diamond Phillips ❤️ in La Bamba

- He used to be my fave in the 90s early 80s, I’ve just recently seen him in Manchester and I forgot how much of a crush I had on him until recently 💛

Ritchie Valens - Donna. 1958♡♡♡

[yespumpkindoodlesthings]

From a 1987 profile of Donna Ludwig, Ritchie Valens' girlfriend and the subject of the song, "Donna," when La Bamba was released: "For almost 30 years now people have been asking her if Valens was the love of her life. "I was 15 years old, for heaven's sakes," she exclaims. "Who knows? I liked Ritchie a lot, I really cared, but I can't say I loved him. I was a kid. I loved my mother and sister and brother."

It's no accident that Fox-Coots doesn't list her father among her dear ones. She has never forgiven him for his "bigoted" rejection of Valens or for the recording deal he pressured her into after the singer's death. Hoping to capitalize on the brief romance, her father arranged for her to sing two songs, "Lost Without You" and "Now That You're Gone," on the Pop label.

Fox-Coots consented to sing the songs, she says, but only after a contract was drawn up ensuring that her share of the royalties would go to Valens' mother. The record, which never became popular, remains an acute embarrassment to Fox-Coots. "I don't want to talk about it," she says. "It was horrible. It just upsets me too much." She moved out of her father's house on her 18th birthday and never visited him again....She's only consented to a few interviews, she says, and then only because she wanted to promote "La Bamba" for the Valenzuela family, which is receiving a percentage of the film's profits. She feels strongly that Valens' recording company took financial advantage of the family after his death."
