N.p. N.p., Circa 1959. Vintage reference photograph from the 1959 film, showing rock-and-roll icons Ritchie Valens and Jimmy Clanton chatting over a record player. Provenance label on the verso.

Valens' only film appearance, released months after his death in a plane crash alongside Buddy Holly and The Big Bopper, and the final film of American disc jockey Alan Freed. Freed would later become embroiled in a "payola" controversy that would end his career.

10 x 8 inches. Very Good plus.
