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
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!

@@cynthiaennis3107 Well... With all due respect:. "Imagine No Heaven .... (there that goes) ..

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
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 ❤❤❤❤❤
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.
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
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
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
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.
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....
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.
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. 😣
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
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
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!!!
Bryson Taylor, don't know why you say he's not related to Ricky Nelson, Because this is Ricky's youngest son Sam Nelson. And he looks exactly like his daddy. Great performance from such a young child.
No relation..but small world, huh? I'm not too familiar with this Ricky...Sam Nelson thing but Grandpa has mentioned them. Guess I'll have to research them a bit.
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.
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.
He is really good bet his dad in heaven is so proud of him awesome voice n awesome playing.
Considering his young age, a wonderful performance. Good voice, nice tempo and excellent piano accompaniment.
Such a deep voice at that age already. So sweet. I love the video of he and his brothers singing Garden Party.
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
You HONORED this OLD HIPPIE ,tears falling from my eyes. THANKS 😊GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS DEAR SAM.
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU SAM NELSON ❤
wow what a great performance , such talent
Wow this kid was born with talent & its great he's had the encouragement from someone.
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!
This was beautifully done your father would be so proud and so would John lennon❤🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is out of this world! Great!!!♥️
Mindenki,aki itt Van!,máshonnan jött!👍
While Sam was sitting there , I thought he looks like his Dad , at least his profile ❤️ Great job !!!!!
Looks like his dad and talented like him too. Good job Sam. Dad proud.
What a great singer and musician, and so young! Keep it up my friend!
Def a talent Sam Nelson 💜
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.
Excellent good job Sam. Your Pop is looking down from heaven and he is very proud.
Nice job Sam. Just keep it up, practice hard, be humble, stay focused, and you'll have a nice career ahead of you.
How could somebody not like this? He's a child, for crying out loud.
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.

I think John would thoroughly enjoy this....
Wonderful performance....
Beautiful, yes your dad would be so proud ❤️

Awesome!
Great Job Sam!!! Too bad the ADULTS in the back didn't have the same respect as the student's!!!!

Good job Sam
At first I thought he was Rick Nelsons' son, then said " Damn, he's pretty short for 35"
Wow he doing good job
muy bueno saludo desde chile
This was 2010. :) 2 years ago.
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
In his blood Rick and the Stone Canyon Band were excellent musicians!
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
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.

Is that your son?!!
He looks like his dad as he gets older he sounds just like him too.
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 kiddo!
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!
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.
Very good
No relation as far as I know. Sam Wesley has two brothers, Tyler and Danny. Born to David and Kelly in 1998 :)
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.

Nice job....but have you listened to the words?

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....
great feeling in the voice
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.
How old is he?
27, he's a dwarf6
He sounds like Ricky just like him.
i noticed that right off.
