Tony's Lyrics

"Donna" is a song written by Ritchie Valens, featuring the '50s progression. The song was released in 1958 on Del-Fi Records. Written as a tribute to his high school sweetheart Donna Ludwig, it was Valens' highest-charting single, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart the following year. Richie was killed in a Plane crash...this song will never die.

My Dad played this song (recorded by Hank Williams Sr. in 1949) on his harp when I was growing up. Good memories.
