Because the movie is a celebration of 1950s rock and roller Ritchie Valens, his music and the music of his contemporaries play a central part in the film.
An original motion picture soundtrack album was released on June 30, 1987 on Warner Bros. Records. The album contained 12 tracks. The first six songs consist of Los Lobos covers of Ritchie Valens’ songs: “La Bamba”, “Come On Let’s Go”, “Ooh My Head”, “We Belong Together”, “Framed”, and “Donna”.[5]
Other performers include: Howard Huntsberry, Marshall Crenshaw, Brian Setzer, and Bo Diddley performing a new version of his blues classic “Who Do You Love?”.
Some songs like The Big Bopper’s “Chantilly Lace” were omitted from the release. Other omitted songs were “Oh Boy”, “Rip It Up”, “The Paddi Wack Song” (written by Valens), and “Sleep Walk”.
