The Best of Ritchie Valens is a greatest hits package by Ritchie Valens.
"La Bamba" has been covered by numerous artists, most notably by Los Lobos, whose version was the title track of the 1987 film "La Bamba" and reached No. 1 in the U.S. and UK singles charts in the same year.
 The Los Lobos version remained No. 1 for three weeks in the summer of 1987.
 The music video for Los Lobos' version, directed by Sherman Halsey, won the 1988 MTV Video Music Award for Best Video from a Film.
Ritchie Valens is the first album by Ritchie Valens, posthumously released by Del-Fi Records in March 1959, one month after his death in a plane crash.
 It is his only studio album entirely composed of master tracks recorded at Gold Star Studios.
 The album peaked at #23 on the "Billboard" album chart.
Mexican rock music, often referred to in Mexico as rock nacional ("national rock"), originated in the 1950s.
 Covers of standards by Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley and The Everly Brothers, by bands such as Los Rockets, Los Twisters, Los Teen Tops, , Los Locos del Ritmo, , Los Nómadas, and Javier Bátiz soon led to original compositions, often in English.
 The group "Los Nómadas" was the first racially integrated band of the 1950s.
 Their lead guitarist Bill Aken (Adopted son of Mexican movie actress Lupe Mayorga, said adoption making Aken the cousin to Ritchie Valens) wrote most of their original material, including the raucous "Donde-Donde", and co-wrote the material for their "Sounds Of The Barrio" album, which is still being sold.
 Their 1954 recording of "She's My Babe" was the first top 40 'R & B' recording by a Latino band.
 In the southwestern United States, Spanish guitar rhythms and Mexican musical influences may have inspired some of the music of American musicians Ritchie Valens, Danny Flores (of The Champs), Sam the Sham, Roy Orbison and later, Herb Alpert.
 Initially, the public exhibited moderate interest in them, because of media attention paid to "La Ola Inglesa" (British Invasion).

 His next single, "Donna"/"La Bamba", was an even bigger big hit, and brought notability to the label.
 Johnny Crawford, the co-star of the television series "The Rifleman", was the Del-Fi artist who recorded the most hit singles.
 Del-Fi ceased operating in 1974.
