La Bamba- Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

La Bamba Lou Diamond Phillips leaves a haunting impression as the late 1950s pop idol Ritchie Valens, who made the Latino influence in rock & roll conspicuous through his hit songs. Filmmaker Luis Valdez (Zoot Suit) creates a nimble, exciting, and sympathetic portrait of the boy driven to...	La Bamba and Other Hits	Stand By Me: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack This is one of those soundtracks that may have worked better during the vinyl era. Most of the tunes here (each and every one a '50s rock classic) are likely already in the CD collections of fans of this kind of music. That's probably the case with Buddy Holly, Ben E. King, the D...	Grease (Original 1978 Motion Picture Soundtrack) The movie is a 1970s take on 1950s musicals, providing all the kitsch anyone could hope for. It's John Travolta as Danny Zuko as Olivia Newton-John's pompadoured main squeeze, and the kids go crazy. Fresh from his astronomical success with Travolta in Saturday Night Fever, Bee Ge...	41 Original Hits From The Soundtrack Of American Graffiti For those of us who grew up in the '70s, this drive-in compilation of '50s and '60s rock and doo-wop, complete with Wolfman Jack introductions, was our introduction to this music.

Dirty Dancing: Original Soundtrack From The Vestron Motion Picture If film and music fans sometimes wonder why soundtracks are often little more than pastiches of past pop hits and chart flavors of the moment, it's largely due to the blockbuster success of releases like this collection from 1987's surprise Patrcik Swayze/Jennifer Grey romantic h...

La Bamba great in Spanish class
I use the song La Bamba is my Spanish class and the students enjoy it.

Good time rock 'n roll
For the most part, this is a great soundtrack. The only problem I have with this, is that the "La Bamba" on the CD is not the exact one played in the movie during the concert and also at the end of the movie where the credits are. The one in the movie is SLIGHTLY faster and upbeat. Would have loved to have that version on the CD.

Song not on the soundtrack
I have the soundtrack and I know that there are a few songs that aren't on the soundtrack, one for instance, being the song that is played while donna and ritchie are driving "home from school". I can't really make out the lyrics to search the song so this is my next step. So if somebody could help me that would be great.

Oldie but still goodie
I misplaced this old soundtrack and was able to purchase another on Amazon.com. This is a great soundtrack and the music is terrific. This is one soundtract you should add to your collection. I've purchased several cd's and products in general from Amazon and have never been disspointed.
