From September 15th to October 15th, it’s National Hispanic Heritage Month.  National Hispanic Heritage Month is annually celebrated to recognize the contributions and influence of Hispanic Americans to the history, culture, and achievements for the United States.  Each day, we will share an important figure within the community to you.  Today we celebrate Mexican-American singer Richie Valens.  Born Richard Steven Valenzuela, Valens quickly rose to fame in the late 1950s while still only a teenager. His breakout hits, “Donna” and “La Bamba,” put Valens on the level of other huge pop stars of the day. Sadly, together with the Big Bopper and Buddy Holly, Valens died in a plane crash on February 3, 1959, when he was just 17.  Valens’ life was portrayed in the 1987 film La Bamba, starring Lou Diamond Phillips. But the fact that he introduced American audiences to Mexican music was his true legacy.
