Tyler, that's not what I mean. I'm talking the 60's when almost ALL American artists took a backseat to the British Invasion. Rick's comeback was successful bc he shook off those ties and did the music HE wanted to do. I love ALL his music. :o)
I like reading the comments of people who grew up listening to this kind of music because they always have fond memories of them. Wish I grew up with this music.
I was born in 1949 and grew up with 50s 60s 70s and some 80s music. I then stopped listening to new music with a few exceptions and have been slowly marking my way back every since.
Well you can still enjoy it, I already made one comment, but I had to stop because of some memories that weren't so good. I will close with one word so you understand. Vietnam.
denise v I grew up on it because my mom had old 45s. My grandma got me into big band music of WWII. Begin the Beguine was her and my favorite Artie Shaw tune. Good music never dies.
I grew up with music.all true made meaning of words in song you understand. Ricky Nelson left this world way to young. He suffer terrible tragedy. with fiance and his and band. His music and songs will live on for ever lasting.R.I.P one great one left us to soon..
My granddaughter is 15 years old. Today she came to me. She asked me about Ricky Nelson. I told her about him. And she was so excited about him. Ricky you have a new fan. She started listening to his music. And choose songs to put on her Spotify.
I saw a Ricky Nelson at Disneyland in Anaheim and at the Orange County Fairgrounds back in the late 60s early 70s great performer still listening to his songs
I saw him in concert in Louisville. White suit, played piano as well as guitar. PLF was my favorite from age 12, 1958. Elvis was King, Ricky was the Prince! RIP.
I first met Ricky at the Play Boy Club in Lake Geneva. He shook my hand from the stage in a 1982 performance. He wouldn't look me in the eye. I knew why. That's all that mattered. He was 42. I was 27. One year after his death, I moved to Laguna Beach. I lived up the hill from where his mother, Harriet, was living. Tortilla Flats, a Mexican restaurant, still had the Nelson name on a booth reserved for the family. I can't tell you how often I wondered what it might have been like if Ricky hadn't lost his life only one year before I moved to his hometown. He was profoundly talented as well as kind. RIP, Ricky.
I got a crystal radio kit for Christmas in 1959. I assembled it and when I put the little earphone in and started tuning, the first thing I heard was Ricky Nelson singing “Poor Little Fool”.
I'm 64 now & all I need is my beloved kitty on my lap whilst listening to music with a good scotch on my verandah in the evening. God Bless anyone who may read this
Bcs they're always plugged into their machines... Lowering their attention spans to that of a Goldfish on Social Conditioning Media. They don't listen they will regret this.
There was Ricky Nelson and then there is was Elvis.?. They were probably responsible for creating half of the screaming fainting love struck fans that was evolving out of this new sound of music called "ROCK & ROLL" .?. The Beatles... Rolling Stones etc.
@@preciousrendition7119 There was a big hit song in North America called Sukiyaki by Kyu Sakamoto in 1963. It sold 13 million copies worldwide. It's sung in Japanese. Absolutely beautiful.
@@brendendavis8596 If your really only a four old who is typing already, and liking music from my youth then this world has thrown me for a loop again. I don't believe it, but stranger things have happened i guess.
This is my favorite piece to play on my guitar. I cannot count the times I've started my repertoire with it! I've loved Rick since I was 14 years old...and that was 60 years ago!
When I was little I thought the words were Poor little Poo. Then my dad sang it to me with the right words. This will forever remind me of my dad. I love this music. x
Thank you all for listening to such great music can stop Phil and don were the best ever,rickie was also a true one also What enjoyment they still give us all the years later.thank you.phil and don.
So many rock'n rollers have passed, but when I heard about his death (while driving to my NewYear's eve date) i was unexpectantly struck by my own feeling of personal loss. His voice was so listenable, lilting and pleasant; the lyrics so innocent and genuine. It was like ... a little part of my own past had been lost.
This was the first song I learnt to play back in '58.....and I have had the privilege of performing it on several occasions backed by the great James Burton along with other Ricky songs....I'm a lucky guy.
My favorite from age 11. At age 40, finally saw him in Jacksonville, Fla at the fair. Now I'm 67 and still love the old songs. So glad that David cleared his name a few yrs ago. The whole family is gone now but I bet there's lots like me, who remember those sweet days long ago. Thanks for posting this. Blessings on you.
On this day in 1958 {August 31st} Ricky Nelson performed live in front of an audience for the first time; it was at the Steel Pier in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Twenty-seven days earlier his "Poor Little Fool" peaked at #1 {for 2 weeks} on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart and spent 15 weeks on the Top 100. Opening for Ricky were the Four Preps; who at the time were on the Top 100 themselves with "Lazy Summer Night", which reached #21. R.I.P. Mr. Nelson, aka Eric Hilliard Nelson, {1940 - 1985}.
I saw him on Steel Pier in the 50's. I don't remember if it was 1958. When I saw him there the Four Preps were not part of the show. I was always a huge fan of Rick
It was a great time listening to Rick Nelson, Elvis, Paul Annka, Neil Sadaka, too much good music. I was 12 yrs old, 19 yr old Gloria Poland from Whitharrel texas telling me how cute I was. These times memories I take to my grave.
One of my all time favorite Ricky Nelson songs! I've loved it ever since I heard it on an oldies station around 1993 as a little kid. I really miss when there were radio stations all over the country that played these classic songs from the 50's and 60's. It's great music that still deserves to be heard everywhere and by everyone!
Yes, ppl were so much happier and nice to each other. I finally switched off my radio in 2019...hadnt been enjoying the terrible music they play now... Wether old or new they play rubbish and depressing music. It hurts my head these days. I'm 57 I wish I'd been born in 1945 when my Mum was born.
@@caroleyre People really did seem a lot nicer in the 90's. I miss those times so much! I also can't stand most modern music, and it's been ages since I've listened to the radio by choice. Most new music just puts me in a bad mood. Even most current country music (my favorite genre) is awful. By the way, my mom was also born in 1945! Sometimes I also feel like I was born too late and I'm in my 30's.
Loved this song since I was a kid. Dad listened to a station that played “oldies” in the 1970’s. It got a lot of play on the station he had on the dial in his old wagon. Beauty. Thank you.
Ricky was my FIRST *crush* at age 13, 'Teenage Idol' was my FIRST of all 'Teen' records. It was my fantasy to become 'Mrs Ricky Nelson'...LOL! Now, at age 65...I still love Ricky's songs. But, Marty Robbins takes equal bid for my 'Favorite' male vocalist! But, UNlike today's music...ALL music was good back then!
@@hselrahc To EACH their own! At 69 yrs old...I STILL LOVE Ricky Nelson, and others from that era...when MUSIC WAS MUSIC! NOT just annoying NOISE of today.
Now those were some real songs songs that were song without any special instruments s you can listen to the song in the background there is no organ or gadgets that they have today mostly it's his voice that you hear that grabs your attention he was always a very cool guy he seems to be down to earth didn't have a big ego that's what made him special he will always be remembered through his songs he will live forever 💙 I can imagine his family so proud of him
The chord progression in the song as played by the great James Burton first caught my attention back in '58. Since then, this song moved up to be permanently in my "TOP TEN" All-Time R & R favorites.
Ricky was so good looking. I'll never forget the night we heard on the car radio that Rick and Company all perished in his plane, that caught fire. My Husband and I were in the grocery store parking lot, getting ready to go home, and I heard it, and I thought did I hear that right. It was tragic.
From the late spring & summer of '58, this song was # 1 in Denver, on KOSI , 1630 AM, for what seemed like, 4-ever. I never, ever tire of hearing Rick sing it. --------------Written by Jimmy Duncan, with James Burton on lead guitar.---------------RIP, Rick nelson.-----------------WolfSky9
Ricky Nelson was unique. Don't forget you can still see a bit of Ricky in his daughter, TRACY NELSON when she graces us with her great acting ability once in a blue moon - and that glimps of Ricky that she carries.
if you are here, congrats, you have great taste in music
I know
Yes he is really good
Thanks. Lockdown September
thanks
We need the younger generation to hear this type of music the clear out their heads...the music now-a-days is nothing but crap !
As a 17 year old , I can proudly say I love Ricky’s music.
Hello Alice, how is things going with you ?
That 17 was the age many of us were when Rick was doing live concerts ...
@@wardschuler9044 woah 😦
O boy I’m 2x your age 🤦🏻♂️ just turned 38 😵
If your older than me don’t worry it happened to me too right here hahaha
Every girl loved Ricky Nelson back in the day. He was a heartthrob
I'm pretty sure that there were many guys, that had a man crush on Ricky.... I was one of them. @ 5 yrs. old
That's because he was a teenage idol. 😆
Oh yea. I had a huge poster of Ricky above my bed. I LOVED him!!! His voice was magic and soooo GOOD LOOKING.
Psh, can't blame them really. Look at the man! Boy could he wear that suit 😍
if you haven't seen the ozzie and harriet show, you are in for a real treat! i have just seen them for the first time
This music never die, so clean and respectful... Pure Love
Proof that you can be clean and entertaining.
Yes

The world need more music like this. I am sick of the hate and crazy stuff that is out there now.
Hello Brenda
Me too 🙁
Sehr schöne Musik

So underrated. This man was fantastic !!!
"he's so underrated!!" *over 2 million views*
I love Rick Nelson and he was a teen icon by any standards. He just ended up fading till he emerged again. Yes, 2 million views says tons.
"underrated" ?? this song holds the distinction of being the first "billboard hot 100"song ever. 1985.

Read somewhere that Elvis was aware of this youngster.
Ricky, Bobby Darin, Eddie Cochrane, Buddy Holly. We were spoiled back then.
were is Elvis.....when music was music....
I grew up with this...Such a shame we've lost the innocence of days past....
oh to be that handsome and be able to sing those kinds of songs...
I sure he had some good times

August 4 1958, this toon became the first ever #1 on Billboard‘s newly introduced Hot 100 chart.
I wasn't alive in the 1960s but it feels nostalgic for some reason
Gaming gamer ,,,a nice thing to say Gamer
Merkava I do too . I also get very sad for these people, the songs are so sweet and everyone was so young and full of passion.
Yes me too, if i see old era its make me feel nostalgic no reason
Born in 1953! Loved this!
Oh, the 60's had such good music!
OMG, he was so cute and I can remember how upset I was to hear that he'd gotten married. That was on April 20, 1963.
Elvis, Ricky Nelson and The Beach Boys: The greatest talents in the history of music.
in your house yeah
Fun fact, this was the first ever song ever to top the billboard hot 100
Yeah
Great
I don't think that makes sense lol
@@JohnnyPaisan Poor Little Fool was the first number one song on Billboard magazine's then-newly created Hot 100 chart.

Love of God and country.
I love this guy, love all his songs

Correct !
Agree
he had some really great songs..
not underappreciated it was 70 years ago what do you expect

So handsome... with a voice like that, complete package! 💕
This song has that "makes you feel like you're actually in 50's/60's" power.
I used to think Ricky was just a teen idol, but he had talent and a great voice.
RIP Ricky. My husband is still jealous of you!
I think they all where Pat..including me..
malc jow That's okay, Malc. Everybody is jealous about one thing or another. Just a human emotion. At least you are honest. Blessings to you.
of course he is!
I used to think Ted Danson looked like Ricky Nelson -- that was in the late 80s.
no way. Only seen him on TV. But jealousy knows no bounds.

I’m not sure I understand that comment. He was appreciated and successful before he was gone. Haha.
Amen
All the gorgeous ones left us so early, Rick, Elvis, Eddie to name a few. These were singers, not like the rubbish we get now.

Hello Cynthia, how is things going with you?
A legend of a singer
On this day in 1958 {August 31st} Ricky Nelson performed live in front of an audience for the first time; it was at the Steel Pier in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Twenty-seven days earlier his "Poor Little Fool" peaked at #1 {for 2 weeks} on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart and spent 15 weeks on the Top 100.
Opening for Ricky were the Four Preps; who at the time were on the Top 100 themselves with "Lazy Summer Night", which reached #21.
R.I.P. Mr. Nelson, aka Eric Hilliard Nelson, {1940 - 1985}.
I saw him on Steel Pier in the 50's. I don't remember if it was 1958. When I saw him there the Four Preps were not part of the show. I was always a huge fan of Rick
He was so good. It was another great loss.
No words to describe soulful music gorgeous man
His brother was a looker too. Handsome brothers.
Pure gold.
Ricky was 1 of the best ever...
What a deep and melodious voice! Where are these singers gone?
It was a great time listening to Rick Nelson, Elvis, Paul Annka, Neil Sadaka, too much good music. I was 12 yrs old, 19 yr old Gloria Poland from Whitharrel texas telling me how cute I was. These times memories I take to my grave.
The first ever number one song in billboard hot 100
This song is the first song ever to hit number one on the billboard charts. This is were history is made.
In august 1958
Notice how you can understand every word Ricky sings? I seldom watched him on Ozzie and Harriet, but I liked every song he sang.
MUHS 1960
My father loved this song. HE LIVED THE ROCK 'N' ROLL ERA TO THE FULL.

One of the greatest if not the greatest ! I could listen to he's music 24/7 I can't say that about Elvis

when music was about love not lust
the only thing you did back then was make out , and that was enough for most you boys .

However, the story is that Ricky Nelson was one of the biggest philanderers of his time.
thats for sure i remember going out with a guy who looked just like Ricky Nelson all the ladies wanted him
I saw him live in 1967 at the fair in San Diego. He was shy, and the music was just great.
Ricky had so many great hits in the 50's and early 60's.
In love with this song in 2019
I love with all ricky nelson songs
I'm 21 but I feel like 81. Damn I love the old times
I think this song was one of his best....love it.
Same here.

Yes,it is his best.Funnily enough,Ricky didn't particularly like it.
That is strange,that this was one of his best,and yet he didn't particularly like it.

Thank you for these great songs. R.I.P.
Hello Rosamund, how are ou doing?
From the late spring & summer of '58, this song was # 1 in Denver, on KOSI , 1630 AM, for what seemed like, 4-ever. I never, ever tire of hearing Rick sing it. --------------Written by Jimmy Duncan, with James Burton on lead guitar.---------------RIP, Rick nelson.-----------------WolfSky9

Always loved him and his songs........great music not like the junk of today
Ricky Nelson was unique. Don't forget you can still see a bit of Ricky in his daughter, TRACY NELSON when she graces us with her great acting ability once in a blue moon - and that glimps of Ricky that she carries.
NICE , THE STAND-UP BASS PLAYER HITTING THOSE LOW NOTES, FOLLOWING THE MELODY TO THE T.
Although I was born in 1950 didn't learn to listen to this music until I was in my thirties does remind me of happier times
Oh, I grew up loving Ricky Nelson! These days of music were so pure!
Hello Rhonda, how is things going with you ?
Elvis Presley First, then Ricky Nelson! Traveling Man! Marylou!
