‘La Bamba’ — Ritchie Valens
The Los Lobos performed a cover of the Mexican folk song “La Bamba.” This was the theme song for a 1987 film starring Lou Diamond Phillips as Ritchie Valens. That has to be the most well-known version of the song! The 1958 adaptation by Valens, on the other hand, appears on both the Rolling Stone Top 500 and the Ranker chart. “La Bamba” is one of the most well-known songs from the early days of rock and roll.
