| When Ritchie came back he was completely different. When Rithie was in Jounior High, his mother bought him an old guitar, that he fixed up in wood shop class and he found an old amp and that began his love for Rock 'n' Roll. Ritchie's big break came in the summer of '58, when a man by the name of Bob Keane the owner of Del-Fi Records spotted him at a local gig. Over time Ritchie's first hit "Come on let's go" earned him quite a reputation with the ladies all over the country. |
