Remembering Ricky
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 18 พ.ค. 2020
This channel is dedicated to recalling the music of Rick Nelson and remembering the incalculable contribution he made to early rock and roll, as well as to country-rock.
While they are still allowed, four of the six parts of my radio documentary are posted for you to hear, as they aired on May 8, 1987. UMG has, however, requested that original recordings in Parts 1 and 2 be removed. As a copyright owner, I respect their position. Where available, later rerecordings of the hits have been substituted.
Also available are the exclusive interviews with his brother Dave, John Fogerty, James Burton, Carl Perkins, Jimmie Haskell, Gordon Stoker, Randy Meisner, Johnny Burnette's widow, Thurley, writer and radio personality Judy Markey, and California Country, Rockabilly, Roots singer/musician Ronnie Mack.
This is a celebration of the man called "The Crown Prince of Rock and Roll."
For complete remastered recordings of Rick's music, please visit Ricky Nelson - Topic.
