Early rock 'n' roll prodigy (1941-1959) known for his hits 'Come On, Let's Go,' 'Donna,' and 'La Bamba,' who was tragically killed at age 17 in the plane crash that also took the lives of Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper. Incredibly rare vintage glossy 8 x 10 head-and-shoulders Del-Fi publicity photo, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "To Karen, Best of luck always from Ritchie Valens." In fine condition, with a single tack hole to top edge and mild light creases. Certainly one of the most seldom-seen of all rock 'n' roll autographs.
