Ricky's iconic legacy lives on because his music was timeless. Sam's Uncle Mark helped raise him when his Mom needed support. Sam and his twin brothers are incredibly gifted and enjoyed success. Sam has been surrounded by much love.
I'm still honored to have known Sam in middle school. Was unable to stay in contact with him, sadly, but he was the person that motivated me to learn piano 6 years ago and I'm still playing passionately today. Will never forget One More Time, One More Chance from 8th grade
Ricky Nelson's son, Sam Nelson, was born in the mid 70s. This video seems to be much more recent so I'm pretty sure this another Sam Nelson. But I must say what a voice for a 5th grader. Can you imagine what he'll sound like in a few years?! I hope he keeps singing.
Where exactly would John be "smiling down from?!" Have you listened to the words in this song? Its not a nice song and is oppositional to God, Faith and Heaven even existing.
@@Eidann63 well...if you ever read Robert Monroe’s books, you’ll find there can be both existing in the here after depending on what one believes! We collectively are creating this reality with our core beliefs, thoughts, imaginings & emotions! Many works of fiction have come true because as we speak = a loud thought, we prophecy! You’d be astounded if you had my list of fictional works that have come true!
@@cynthiaennis3107 Well... With all due respect:. "Imagine No Heaven .... (there that goes) .. No hell (he got lucky there) Imagine all the people cheering the whole world (he's out of the world, and when would that EVER happen in it's present state?) The whole world's going to live "as one," if everyone joins him ( once again he's left the planet, won't affect him, seemingly) Above us "only sky" ( I think Yoko came up with this line...).No country...bye bye to tea and "jam butties" AND.. no religion too (if he's referencing God, then out he/she goes as well...no-ones minding the store and never has been") I ask you. While we're all cheering and partying, WHERE has John "created himself" into "being?!". FLOATING in the sky with no body and no end to "all that sky " 🤔😳 Lots of fun, Seriously: No thanks.
Ich habe auch sehr gestaunt über seine tiefe Stimme😮 Dacjte da singt jetzt ein Kind. Er sieht aber auch noch sehr jung aus. Der Pappa wäre ja so stolz auf seine Jungens
We had ABSOLUTLEY nothing to do with Sam and Danny learning music. They both taught themselves completely on their own. We noticed markings on the keyboard one day...Sam was sounding songs out (by ear). They have chosen their music and taught themselves how to play and sing the songs. All we do is show up ....to listen! :) Not one day have I said, "Sam, you better practice your piano." which is what I heard growing up. :) So...you could be more off base but thanks for the feed back. Mom
Grande Sam tuo papà è super orgoglioso di te ovunque sia sarà sempre al tuo fianco meriti un contratto musicale sei bravissimo insieme ai tuoi fratelli siete eccezionali Matthew Gunnar e Sam iNelson diete grandi e con vostro padre la musica non tramontera mai ❤❤❤❤❤
Maybe this interview sheds some light on the question: medium.com/@jeremylr/too-scared-to-fly-sam-nelsons-musical-odyssey-to-his-legendary-father-69e86cb2b988
good job playi ng that song sounds like you are on your way to stardom . keep up the good work lennon was a talented man, just some nut case had to take him from us. just have to say the beatles were some of the best artists.sincerely rod aspen
No relation to Ricky Nelson and Sam really DOES love music... jazz, classical mostly, at his current age of 15 (he was 10 or 11 in this video and this was one of his first live performances; though he did perform many more times with the band New Invasion that he played and sang in with his brother, Danny Nelson, and friend Tyler Nofzinger.) Sam taught himself how to play and sing as did his brother Danny. They have a passion for music just didn't like the entertaining part and all that came along with that. VERY TALENTED, BRILLIANT AND GENUINE YOUNG MEN! RARE FINDS!!
+Kelly Nelson Great job! A real talent to be able to play and sing so well at such an early age. Doesn't matter if he is not related to Ricky Nelson, his talent is his own.
All the kind people on here who no doubt watched "Ricky" Nelson grow up on t.v. (as I did) and loved his songs as well, watching his talented young son singing John Lennon's biggest MISTAKE. The sad irony is, everyone wants to express their "faith" that Sam's dad is "watching him from Heaven," NEITHER of which (Faith or Heaven) is "allowed" in this song. It's the ATHEIST Anthem. 😣
Sam Nelson, just like dad Ricky. AMAZING. You your own MAN. Your Dad and Grandma and Grandpa are smiling down on you. Now that you are older, please please consider a musical career. You would be so wonderful doing concerts and I so would buy your CD'S etc. Love you Sam.
For the last time , this kid is about 30 yrs. younger than Rick Nelson,s son. Name's a coincidence. Besides, he would of played a Rick song or a Nelson (Matthew and Gunnar) song....
hi im your chili you could give me the chords of the song please thanks I hope you answer ... sorry if misspelled Use google translator because I speak Spanish
Was surprised by the deepness of his voice, wasn't expecting that. He seems too young for that voice. What a great kid, from a great dad and grandparents. Wonderful, wonderful family, all.
OMG!!! I remember him I'd see him at school and had the hugest crush on him makes me wonder what happened to him that was so long ago here I am almost done with school
This is not Ricky’s Sam Nelson 😂 Rickys boy was born in 1974 which will mean in August he will be 50 years old! This was filmed years ago which would make him Rickys Sam 36 at the time it was filmed! It’s basic math yall! 😂 🥴That said the kiddo is Uber talented!!!

Good job Sam. Your Dad is looking down from heaven and he is very proud of you Sam.
The kids arent distracting, the facilty behind sam talking through his performance was.
Such a deep voice at that age already. So sweet. I love the video of he and his brothers singing Garden Party.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU SAM NELSON ❤
He is really good bet his dad in heaven is so proud of him awesome voice n awesome playing.
You HONORED this OLD HIPPIE ,tears falling from my eyes. THANKS 😊GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS DEAR SAM.
I'm still honored to have known Sam in middle school. Was unable to stay in contact with him, sadly, but he was the person that motivated me to learn piano 6 years ago and I'm still playing passionately today. Will never forget One More Time, One More Chance from 8th grade
Considering his young age, a wonderful performance. Good voice, nice tempo and excellent piano accompaniment.
wow what a great performance , such talent
This was beautifully done your father would be so proud and so would John lennon❤🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Wow! What a talented little man! Hope to hear more from him someday. Excellent:)
I didn't expect that voice from such a young man....amazing!

While Sam was sitting there , I thought he looks like his Dad , at least his profile ❤️ Great job !!!!!
Wow this kid was born with talent & its great he's had the encouragement from someone.
This is out of this world! Great!!!♥️
Mindenki,aki itt Van!,máshonnan jött!👍
Excellent good job Sam. Your Pop is looking down from heaven and he is very proud.
How could somebody not like this? He's a child, for crying out loud.
Looks like his dad and talented like him too. Good job Sam. Dad proud.
Really good. Considering all he went through he came out ok on the other side. This may have been when his Dad was still alive.
Def a talent Sam Nelson 💜
What a great singer and musician, and so young! Keep it up my friend!
Beautiful!!!!
Nice job Sam. Just keep it up, practice hard, be humble, stay focused, and you'll have a nice career ahead of you.
That is just downright nice!
What a nice tribute to John.
I bet he is smiling from above on this young man
Where exactly would John be "smiling down from?!" Have you listened to the words in this song? Its not a nice song and is oppositional to God, Faith and Heaven even existing.
@@Eidann63 bro left this comment 10 years ago like I don’t think u gonna change his faith

I think John would thoroughly enjoy this....
Outstanding. How am I just seeing this!
Beautiful, yes your dad would be so proud ❤️
Excellent Sam! Thank you! Hope you can by pass American Idol and The Voice and just get signed right away. Good luck!
Talented young man. Love the hair.
Great performance you're going to make something of yourself keep up the good work

Wow great job
AWESOME! (y)
sorry but rick nelson's son sam nelson is 40 years old this year. he was born in august 29, 1974 so this kid is not rick's son
Maybe this interview sheds some light on the question: medium.com/@jeremylr/too-scared-to-fly-sam-nelsons-musical-odyssey-to-his-legendary-father-69e86cb2b988
Frozen Embryo?
This is not Ricky Nelson’s son. This boys name is sam Nelson he’s almost 20 and he’s my boyfriend :)
@@juliahatch3743 I call BS. Prove it
At first I thought he was Rick Nelsons' son, then said " Damn, he's pretty short for 35"
In his blood Rick and the Stone Canyon Band were excellent musicians!
I think that everyone is confusing this boy with Sam Nelson, son of Ricky Nelson. This is not the same. This kid isn't even related to those Nelsons.
I wasn't confused nor does it really matter. You're nothing but a jealous troll!
He sings very well ! And may I just say it was very rude for those adults behind him to be conversing about nothing that could have waited I'm sure!
Good job Sam
good job playi ng that song sounds like you are on your way to stardom . keep up the good work lennon was a talented man, just some nut case had to take him from us. just have to say the beatles were some of the best artists.sincerely rod aspen
He looks like his dad as he gets older he sounds just like him too.

Is that your son?!!
Terrill, wake up and smell the coffee, what were you doing at 12 playing with your Action man doll. A good performance by one so young, nice one Sam.
❤️❤️❤️❤️🇧🇷
Wow he doing good job
Those twerps in the background ignoring the boy playing…
This is not Sam Nelson (son of Ricky Nelson)
Very good!! Not related to Ricky Nelson, though. His son is much older now.
WRONG. HE IS RICK NELSON'S SON AND ALSO HAS TWIN BROTHERS AND A SISTER.

This was 2010. :) 2 years ago.
Thank you buddy, well done; Dad wound have been proud. Dave Davis
No relation as far as I know. Sam Wesley has two brothers, Tyler and Danny. Born to David and Kelly in 1998 :)
muy bueno saludo desde chile
Nice job....but have you listened to the words?
Serious about his music just like his dad.
...and those kids are the ones WE make fun of. :)
ohh Wowwwwww

Do you know what year this was filmed?
This is not Ricky’s son.
How old is he?
27, he's a dwarf6
This is not Rick Nelson"s son Sam..
He sounds like Ricky just like him.

very nice job Sam....and later...he does "Garden Party" with his twin brothers in lovely tribute to their father.
I think that everyone is confusing this boy with Sam Nelson, son of Ricky Nelson. This is not the same. This kid isn't even related to those Nelsons.
i noticed that right off.
this is not ricky's grandson??
UGLY RUMOURS....
I don’t think this is Rick Nelson’s son. It’s another Sam Nelson.
sam nelson is the son ricky nelson and the brother of matt and gunnar and tracy
colburn39 not this Sam Nelson. He's in his 40s now
@@MsAngklin I know, the video is too clean for the 1980's and besides the kid doesn't look like Rick at all....
I would play for other people, but I CAN'T STAND playing when there is an audience...
It makes me feel like I'm being criticized.

What is distracting are the people talking behind him.
I can barely hear his voice. He needed to put power behind his voice.
