I am 73 years old and Ricky Nelson has been my favorite music artist since I was a young teen ager and still is. I have kept every album he put out, I also watched every show that was on TV.
I am also, im.78 have his music, that I cherish. Watching THEIR TV show and when he started singing on it, my friends and I went all in for Ricky. His face, his eyes, his charm I love his music always have. Always underrated. Garden Party was telling it like it was, one of my favorites.
It's hard to believe that "popular" music has sunk so low today from the level of this song from 1963. And Ricky was one of the best rockers around. I know 'cause I was there.
What is amazing and younger generation don't know this - He loved to imitate Elvis when he was young and I read that he eventually met him several times and Elvis admitted that he use to watch Ricky's show on TV for many years. Amazing both admiring each other. Wow!
At 82 and still listening to Ricky ! . This is one of the American POP songs that I like the most. Both Ricky and Brook Benton do a wonderful job singing it.💖
I am 74 y.o. I loved this singer and this song when I was young. Today, it holds a much, much deeper meaning of new love and the bruising of love lost.
He said in a Variety interview that Ozzy told him his solo in this song reminded him of great sax player band mate from his band leader days. I really only came here in search of that solo. A lot of times the real talent is literally and figuratively behind the front man.
Everything about this is great: fantastic chord progression, James Burton smoking on the Telecaster, Ricky Nelson's vocals and the "Papa Gene's Blues" percussion vibe.
In the early 60's I idolized this man. How I loved the TV series with him and his family. How I loved to listen to Ricky sing.."I am a travelling man".... Even today I still revere his music . And nobody sings "Again" like Ricky does. He will always stay in my heart. R.I.P..
I love this song, but my favorite part is when he says,"when we met, I felt my life begin". I love the way he says life. It speaks to me for some reason.Maybe its the way he says it. God, what a looker he was!!!
🎉❤🎉❤ música lindicisma boa gosto Rick Nelson cantor faz muito sucesso até hoje faz muito sucesso até hoje faz muito sucesso até hoje faz sucesso até hoje faz
when Ricky sang on the show, somehow you felt you were part of it.his demeanor really draws you in.this a great version of this song......ricky was really a natural
Love this song! Talented, handsome and clean cut. Just a dead breed. He may have showcased his singing on "Ozzie and Harriet", but he went on to record great songs. Dean Martin and Ricky singing "My rifle, pony and me". Just a great pairing of voices.
My favorite Rick Nelson song! I remember it so vividly from Oct. 1963, when it hit #12 on the Billboard Hot 100, and became the standard's most famous version. Lyrics by Johnny Mercer with music by Rube Bloom. Interestingly, written in 1940, the year Rick was born on May 8.
Lyrics by Johnny Mercer. The same Guy who penned this song, "Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer", AND "Moon River." As if this interpretation and those by the late great Brook Benton and Miss Brenda Lee weren't stately enough!😉🎤🎼🎸🥁🎅🏻🤶🦌B.W.
Thank you for your response. I have always thought that if women can acknowledge when other women are beautiful or pretty, then men can acknowledge when other men are handsome. Thank you again for your response and the "lol." LOL to you, too!
Why is this video edited??A whole section of James Burton's wonderful guitar solo is MISSING!!! Who the hell gave you permission to edit the guitar solo? Something tells me you took it upon yourself.
Why did this HEAVEN SENT ADONIS have to die so early! Since decades I was looking for this song I heard on AFN or BFBS as a little boy! After more than 50 years I made it,only to find out that he died already in the 80s. Which brings a good bunch of onions to my eyes....
I was a toddler, but I remember him and I always had a crush on him, too. I remember my aunt had a crush on him, too. She would of been in gradeschool when this song came out, I believe. That's how I knew about this rock sensations because when she came over to visit, we always watched the music shows that were on.
Sounded like fun! I was too young for Woodstock and ,SIGH, I lived in Arizona at the time. We had our mini Woodstocks in the desert where Alice Cooper would give free concerts, and then the cops would bust us in the evening. We were trespassing. So that was my Woodstock!
Happy Happy 80th Birthday Rick! I can't believe you would have been 80 years old today! You one handsome guy and a damn good singer. Not a bad actor either! In fact pretty good. I wonder how far you would have gone if you had stuck with the acting. Anyway, wishing you all the best and I hope you are happy where you are.
Ricky Nelson was my very first Teenage Idol and my reason for becoming a guitar player/singer. I miss him. Does anybody know the lead guitar players name? He was able to put some very exciting guitar parts in these songs.
Look at him. Looks just like Elvis. Even sings with the same facial expressions. But he was still Rick Nelson, and developed his own style. R. I. P. Rick
Quel merveilleuse chanson, comme son interprète Rick Nelson. Mon chanteur préféré depuis longtemps : j’ai 71 ans et il restera quelqu’un d’inoubliable tant par sa voix que son charisme et par sa personnalité pleine de charme 🥰💟💓.
@zzzlazy1zzz I agree. I wasn't born when this show aired, but I love tv shows and music from the 50s through the 80s. You can have a bad day, and watching these retro shows make you feel better. I'll turn it on something modern and I will most likely feel worse.
Rickie was a really appealing singer,&had a 1st rate guitar player in James Burton who later played with Elvis.And this is a top notch '60s pop song with everything going for it! Kenneth Anger uses it,&many other top 40 songs,all from 1963,as soundtrack to his offbeat biker movie Scorpio Rising.1963: what a year for pop music,so many excellent songs,including this one! It was also the first year I got my Mom to buy me a few top 40 singles(age 7 or 8) "My Boyfriend's Back" was the first one,
Forever my teenager years IDOL. I loved this guy and his songs. It has been over 60 years I have been listening to Ricky. R.I.P.....you immortal artist ! Talk about nostalgia....
six years ago when my daughter was pregnant we were watching a rerun of Rick on Saturday Night Live. We both commented on how handsome she was. I told her Rick's real name is Eric...so that is how she named her son my grandson Eric.
@castalia60able Incorrect they were actually fast chums and hung out and played football together along with Robert Conrad, Lee Majors, James Caan and Chad Everett. Led by ELVIS and LONG before Sheen, Estevez and those young gun punks..this lot was the original Hollywood Boys Club.
My idol fo the early 60's. Anything he sang I loved., especially the great "Travelling Man" and the romantic song "Again". I still look up all his songs in U-Tuibe and listen to them. I feel so much nostalgia for those happy carefree years of my life, before Viet Nam and drugs descended upon our country..
@19450william Papa gene's blues, song by Michael Nesmith (The Monkees) It should be on youtube somewhere. Great song, very Roackabilly with some great guitar pickin' in it.
I guess that Juice for Joe is not aware that a whole generation of guitarists learned to play by trying to ape that cat with the "lame vibrato". (BTW it's tremilo any way)
No everything about this clip is not great, and that's because James Burton's solo is literally cut in half. And YT took down the only recording of this song that had original pitch and the full JB solo.
![What's My Line? - Rick Nelson; Max Shulman [panel] (Aug 30, 1959)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/bqYJavjr7FQ/mqdefault.jpg)
So long as we keep him in our hearts, Rick Nelson will never die. He was truly one of the great ones!
Amen...one of my very favorites💝
Ricky is an extremely talented individual. Unfortunately, because of his television background, he was underrated.
Yup. Underrated by critics and other ignoramuses.Liked by Elvis and the rest of us.

I am 73 years old and Ricky Nelson has been my favorite music artist since I was a young teen ager and still is. I have kept every album he put out, I also watched every show that was on TV.
I love Ricky too, but my favorite is Johnny Cash.
love bosa nova sound on this elvis cover
I got to be the opening act for Rick Nelson and the Stone Canyon Band in 1971. A highlight of my lifr.
I’m his actual nephew
I am also, im.78 have his music, that I cherish. Watching THEIR TV show and when he started singing on it, my friends and I went all in for Ricky. His face, his eyes, his charm I love his music always have. Always underrated. Garden Party was telling it like it was, one of my favorites.

Those dreamy bedroom eyes...those pouty lips....I could watch this video with no sound at all and STILL enjoy it! {{SWOON}}
God yes.
my hubbys man crush
I know what you mean.
Oh yes!! So handsome!!
Why us!? They had Ricky Nelson and all we have is Justin Bieber...!
Many times God has a real sick sense of humor.
There are still a few traditional style artists.
It's about time some one said this
Because he is better ...
@Teresa Ibarra are u like in your senses like your saying autotone is better than true talent
What is amazing and younger generation don't know this - He loved to imitate Elvis when he was young and I read that he eventually met him several times and Elvis admitted that he use to watch Ricky's show on TV for many years. Amazing both admiring each other. Wow!
This is such an old comment but it makes me happy 💕
Elvis and Rick became friends and hung out and play ed touch football
And they shared the same lead guitarist, James Burton.
That's what a melodic guitar solo sounds like!
Simply excellent.
At 82 and still listening to Ricky ! . This is one of the American POP songs that I like the most. Both Ricky and Brook Benton do a wonderful job singing it.💖
I am 74 y.o. I loved this singer and this song when I was young. Today, it holds a much, much deeper meaning of new love and the bruising of love lost.
Кем вы хотели стать в детстве? В итоге каким способом вы больше всего заработали денег в жизни?
Yeah but Ricky Nelson , unfortunately 😭 was killed 😭 when he was free basing on an airplane. So 😭
I am 72 years young and I still listen to Ricky Nelson and I remember the Ozzie and Harriet show. Wow that takes me back.❤😂❤😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢
James Burton on guitar. Rick was and had the best!
The TV version cut Jame's lead guitar verse by more than half, a shame.
yes they did it was neat seeing the fingering on the first part, tho...
I love Ricky too, but in my opinion Johnny Cash is the best.
happened more than once for TH-cam because of the length of the tapes i've been told
No earthly excuse to cut one note of the solo, it sells the song.
Proof positive the wrong people are making decisions.
The legendary James Burton approaching his 80th birthday....
Aug. 21.🎸
He said in a Variety interview that Ozzy told him his solo in this song reminded him of great sax player band mate from his band leader days. I really only came here in search of that solo. A lot of times the real talent is literally and figuratively behind the front man.
one of my favorite songs sung by a singer who could sing! Gone 30 years today but never forgotten.
His music influenced me in my teens. A time of innocent music. Still crisp to this day !
Hello Mary... How are you doing?
Yeah I know this younger generation has no idea what good 👍🏻 🎵🎶 is 😭 and I maybe old butt good 👍🏻 🎵 🎶 music is good 👍🏻😊 🎵🎶
Excellent version of this song. Ricky nails it perfectly well. Great voice too.
Love the jukebox now a days. You can play this music for the younger generation. Brought my kids up listening to this kind of music.
I love watching him sing. Heavenly face
Pretty eyes.
@@lianelayman7577 He was as Handsome and talented, as Paul McCartney.
The very definition of DREAMY 😍
then ul love wat im doing
musicman
Who’s the 34 jerks who gave a thumbs down ?
People who thought this was Can't help Falling in Love. Lol.
Probably someone who does know good music when they hear it.
Deadbeats
Who cares?
Offended wisemen
That mouth!
Everything about this is great: fantastic chord progression, James Burton smoking on the Telecaster, Ricky Nelson's vocals and the "Papa Gene's Blues" percussion vibe.
I am so thankful my parents introduced me to Ricky Nelson. What a heavenly voice.
Great song, great voice and amazing guitar work by James Burton. Still listening in 2019.
he had the most beautiful eyes and a voice to match!! thank you for posting this vintage clip!!
Am I allowed to say that too as a guy?
In the early 60's I idolized this man.
How I loved the TV series with him and his family.
How I loved to listen to Ricky sing.."I am a travelling man".... Even today I still revere his music . And nobody sings "Again" like Ricky does. He will always stay in my heart. R.I.P..
Ricky Nelson went to Bancroft Junior High School the same as I did a couple of years later. Love his songs and music.
Why the hell did they cut James Burton's solo? The best was yet to come….
ozzie couldnt stand taking the camera off of rick
sadly that happens a lot becuse the videos only run a certain length
who suggested this song to Rick
Ya that pissed me off.
I was thinking the same thing - probably to make room for 'important' commercial messages
This is my favorite song in the entire world, and the best performance! Check out his sons doing the same song-it's awesome!
It's mine too! All my life. My mom had it on a 45 record, and I wore it out! Lol
I understand Ricky did this one cause His dad loved the song I believe Ozzy is playing on it as well
Elvis did a good version.
I love this song, but my favorite part is when he says,"when we met, I felt my life begin". I love the way he says life. It speaks to me for some reason.Maybe its the way he says it. God, what a looker he was!!!
🎉❤🎉❤ música lindicisma boa gosto Rick Nelson cantor faz muito sucesso até hoje faz muito sucesso até hoje faz muito sucesso até hoje faz sucesso até hoje faz
That's when being good looking and talanted was cool!
I'm gutted! Only half of the James Burton solo.
ozzie directing
when Ricky sang on the show, somehow you felt you were part of it.his demeanor really draws you in.this a great version of this song......ricky was really a natural
I used to sing this song in my lonely boarding room a long long time ago.
Love this song! Talented, handsome and clean cut. Just a dead breed. He may have showcased his singing on "Ozzie and Harriet", but he went on to record great songs. Dean Martin and Ricky singing "My rifle, pony and me".
Just a great pairing of voices.
Hello Lisa.. How are you doing?
The real teen idol..
Just heard this on Ozzie and Harriet and had to find it. Obsessed with this song
Happy Birthday Rick! It is hard to believe that you would have been 76 today!
Damn...those lips!!
Gone 35 years ago New Years Eve but never never forgotten! You were one terrific singer Rick! Thank you for all the music you left behind.
I love him!! And all of his music💙
Kenneth Anger's Scorpio Rising and Buffalo '66 brought me here. What a heavenly voice.
My favorite Rick Nelson song! I remember it so vividly from Oct. 1963, when it hit #12 on the Billboard Hot 100, and became the standard's most famous version. Lyrics by Johnny Mercer with music by Rube Bloom. Interestingly, written in 1940, the year Rick was born on May 8.
Think that possibly Brook Benton's version just edges it???
Yea mine too.
Lyrics by Johnny Mercer. The same Guy who penned this song, "Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer", AND "Moon River." As if this interpretation and those by the late great Brook Benton and Miss Brenda Lee weren't stately enough!😉🎤🎼🎸🥁🎅🏻🤶🦌B.W.
Rick Nelson is a handsome man, and I'm a heterosexual myself!
Such dreamy sexy eyes.......what a voice : )
My favorite song of his...
This song by Ricky Nelson reminds me of my childhood days by the beach. I shed tears sometimes in his passing.
So Cute ...Love it when he closes his eyes and sings...such a loss ... Thanks for the memories...
Ricky OWN’s this song! James Burton on lead! Amazing! My Dad was his Agent at GAC. Saw him LIVE when I was a little kid. He was GREAT!
Thank you for your response. I have always thought that if women can acknowledge when other women are beautiful or pretty, then men can acknowledge when other men are handsome. Thank you again for your response and the "lol." LOL to you, too!
I love ricky he really was a great musician .....:)
In my living room, watching him on TV. I was going to marry him. I told my mother that. She laughed at me. I really thought that.
"I don't mess around, boy"
Iove this rendition..cool...
Hello Doris... How are you doing?
God, he was good! A very underrated talent. You're sorely missed, Rick. ( And you just gotta love ol' James Burton with the tasty, twangy Tele solo!)
He had it all! Looks just a great guy. Had the greatest voice I’ve ever heard!
Why is this video edited??A whole section of James Burton's wonderful guitar solo is MISSING!!! Who the hell gave you permission to edit the guitar solo? Something tells me you took it upon yourself.
@@sg-yq8pm I've seen the unedited clip already, you twit.
“Play it James”
The incomparable James Burton on lead guitar 🎸
The future lead guitarist for The King Elvis Presley’s TCB band ⚡️
great job. Miss those days when people could sing..
people can still sing
@@illustrious-jaco Not the mainstream "artists"
My favorite of all his early stuff.
I remember watching the show and considering it a bonus when he played with his group at the conclusion.
Why did this HEAVEN SENT ADONIS have to die so early! Since decades I was looking for this song I heard on AFN or BFBS as a little boy! After more than 50 years I made it,only to find out that he died already in the 80s. Which brings a good bunch of onions to my eyes....
A TF2 SFM brought me to this song, very happy I got to hear it because it's really good!
That drummer is like, "Oh god what do I do with my head?!"
I was a toddler, but I remember him and I always had a crush on him, too. I remember my aunt had a crush on him, too. She would of been in gradeschool when this song came out, I believe. That's how I knew about this rock sensations because when she came over to visit, we always watched the music shows that were on.
A real all American kind of guy. Always liked him.
This is a very nice arrangement.
This song which i haven't heard for many years just popped into my head, great to hear it again. Thanks.
I really like Ricky Nelson such a Kool singer, always in my heart.
I saw Rick in person and he's as classy as he looks.
and shy . my brother in law met him at playboy club in lake geneva wis.
So is Chris Evans still going to do the Ricky Nelson story?
Sounded like fun! I was too young for Woodstock and ,SIGH, I lived in Arizona at the time. We had our mini Woodstocks in the desert where Alice Cooper would give free concerts, and then the cops would bust us in the evening. We were trespassing. So that was my Woodstock!

I wonder how far you would have gone if you had stuck with the acting. Anyway, wishing you all the best and I hope you are happy where you are.
you are so right, that solo riff was outrageous and to cut it out was balsphemy !!!
Elvis recorded a very good version in 1971.
Noone need to know about your sexual preference just say hes good looking
my sister concha was inlove with this guy
as i recall Rick did this song cause his dad loved it
Nunca eh visto un hombre más guapo que Riquy Nelson ❤😊
Il est tellement beau, il chante trop bien❤❤❤😂😂
Any one else here from Burno's recent SFM?
Ricky Nelson was my very first Teenage Idol and my reason for becoming a guitar player/singer. I miss him. Does anybody know the lead guitar players name? He was able to put some very exciting guitar parts in these songs.

elvis said he liked rickys style,so if you look elvis took a lot of ricks style,I LOVE RICKY NELSON
so ironic that James wound up playing in Elvis' TCB band
Sorry but Elvis never took anyone's style

As a kid in the 60's I grew up with Elvis and Ricky. I thought they were the greatest singers of all time. I always wanted to sound like Ricky though.

His voice was beautiful, he was beautiful and sexy, his songs were melodious and wonderful to hear... sigh... you are missed, Ricky Nelson : )

@19450william Papa gene's blues, song by Michael Nesmith (The Monkees) It should be on youtube somewhere. Great song, very Roackabilly with some great guitar pickin' in it.
I guess that Juice for Joe is not aware that a whole generation of guitarists learned to play by trying to ape that cat with the "lame vibrato". (BTW it's tremilo any way)
No everything about this clip is not great, and that's because James Burton's solo is literally cut in half. And YT took down the only recording of this song that had original pitch and the full JB solo.
