- In 1987, I produced a six-hour radio tribute to the late Rick Nelson. Featuring special guests who knew and loved Rick and his music, the three decade musical career of the man, for whom the term "teen idol" was coined, was explored in depth.
Woefully underappreciated by music critics, Rick Nelson was the second highest selling Rock and Roll artist from 1957 through the early 60s. He placed 35 recordings on the Top 40 charts, had the first number one record on the Hot 100 and influenced scores of musicians, including Bob Dylan, Linda Ronstadt, and John Fogerty. An estimated 100 million of his records have been sold. More than any artist of the 1950s, Ricky Nelson brought Rock and Roll into America's living rooms and introduced it to the parents, making it acceptable for their kids to play. Through success and failure, he remained committed to his music until the end of his life.
All of the guests gave their time for free, out of their respect and affection for Rick Nelson.
Parts One and Two of the documentary, covering Ricky's years with Imperial Records, were removed by request of UMG, which holds the copyright to those recordings. To hear those fantastic recordings, please visit Ricky Nelson - Topic, the official Rick Nelson channel.

PART THREE:
In this episode: Rick moves to Decca Records and produces more hit records. The British Invasion begins. Rick films his final theatrical movie, "Love and Kisses." "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriett" comes to an end. Rick goes Country and also sings Bacharach and David songs in "On The Flip Side." .

So glad I found this documentary of Ricky Nelson. I am 71 and still love him to this day. Thank-you
Rachanee Suzie Q I was listened to Ricky since I was 12 and now I am 77 and I am still love to listen to his songs... Although he was die but his songs never never die .. Always love you Ricky ... and you will always in my mind...Many thanks for all these lovely songs that you're sharing for us...thank you so much again..... Thanks....
I was a lifelong fan of Rick and bought every record of his from I'm Walkin through to the end. Respect has to be given due to the fact when the sales fell off in 64, he kept recording and trying new things. He rebounded with The Stone Canyon Band and created some great music until his death. A great legacy. RIP Rick.
I found myself going down "memory lane" again. I couldn't watch this on New Year's Eve, so I started earlier. I wish his music would go on forever.
I do, too. He had so much more in him!
I learned to sing listening to his records in the late 50’s. When I formed a band of my own in my high school year 61-62 naturally I covered his songs. In college I covered For You, Mary Lou. When I went to NYC to audition for a role in a group that had a top ten tune, I got the job by singing his I’ve Got My Eyes on You. Even now as our group plays reunions, I cover his songs. Thanks Rick. PS I even named my first daughter Kris.
Congratulations to you!
How can you not tear up just listening to what life handed Him,l will never forget this Man,l saw Him in Person and He sang right to Me,l melted and don’t even remember what he was singing♥️
All of his music great, whatever genre.Lots on here I hadn’t heard, all fabulous ❤️🎼😢🇦🇺
Just loved his music
Fantastic voice and wonderful father good person... forever remember you Ricky Nelson...❤️🙏🎵
This is the first time I hear such music. I suppose it used to be fashionable at one time. It's great that the radio announcer is interwoven with the announcement of a musical piece. Rhythmic to listen to. Thank you very much. I greet you warmly.
Brilliant. Ricky Nelson
Love all your songs
Perfect HITS 💯⭐🎼🎶🎸
Ricky...Rick Nelson ...He was such a phenomenal Personality. He was so polished, his voice can be recognized instantly, it is so beautiful to hear🎶 The world was his oyster...tremendous musical talent and a personality that everyone was magnetized to, he was irrisistable...never met this awesome singer, heartbreaking that his life ended prematurely...We will all love him, we will all miss him...🎶💙⭐🌹😢
Awesome and the best about our Ricky.
Grew up together but without parents he had.
God bless his entire family and his children who were #1 with him.
Very talented., honest and Daddy music lives on.
I loved Ricky so much, felt so bad when he died. I always loved Elvis to, but he did not live a very good life in the 70's. He got heavy and his hair was way to long. Ricky was so handsome and had such a great voice. At least he wasn't on drugs .
Sorry you missed out on seeing Rick grow up and grow his hair long.
If you were a Rick Nelson fan, it didn't matter if he wasn't a chart topper. You waited anxiously for the next album! It was RICK!
Thanks for this great tribute, Mr. Powers! It’s wonderful! Thank you for putting it all on here for all of us to enjoy! ♥️ 🙏🏼 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Great and fun music
Love it.
Very nice music videos is just great for a you .
Wow didn't know Ricky sang bright lights and Country music. He really sings it good.
He was Rick by then.
Yes! He really did!
I'll always be a Rick Nelson fan. He left us way too soon. 💔💔💔
He can sing country music and rocks and roll music 🎵 👍❤️
Fools Rush In! ♥️. So beautifully sung! I never heard him do Louisiana Man! ♥️ No clue he did How to Succeed in Biz, etc.!
I hope he really got to do what he wanted...
Parts 1 & 2 were taken down at the request of UMG as they own the songs on those parts. (Thank you for letting us know in one of the drop-down menus.)
Ricky was a good guy. He stood up for black performers who were being cheated out of their music royalties. That took guts from the seemingly mellow personality of Ricky Nelson.
Kudis to a decent guy.
Rick was not flawless, but he was talented.
Can this album be purchased?
His son's can sing almost as good as Rick
Sam! Yes! AMAZINGLY CLOSE! Almost the same voice!
Who was Alan Bush? Anyone know if he was a friend & or author or musician?? I can’t find anything about him. Thx.
Country music is too simple.
Tracy was conceived before they married. Even Rick later referred to it as a shot-gun wedding.
“They married on April 20, 1963. Kris was pregnant,[74] and Rick later described the union as a "shotgun wedding".[75] “ Wikipedia
“Tracy Kristine Nelson (born October 25, 1963)” Wikipedia.
No trash talk here, please.
No trash. Just facts.
@@uofa82 total trash.
That was more common than you might think. There were many women that got married at the 3 month mark back then.
