I showed my wife this video. She said Rick is more handsome at 45 than he was when he was 20!! I'm 69 and I remember VIVIDLY the day of December 31, 1985 when he died in that tragic aviation incident. He was very talented and loved by many. May he RIP.
I seen him at Tulsa State Fair and he was dressed exactly the same! It was 1983 I think. I was 16 and fought my way to the front of the stage! I knew every word to every song! I'm still devastated. 😢
I'm 66 and l first heard "Poor little fool" on my little transistor radio when l was 12, in 1969 and it was released in 1958 so he must have been very young, around 18 according to my math, makes sense?
Toujours présent dans nos coeurs, on ne l oubliera jamais, un bon chanteur, une beauté magnifique, très attachant avec sa timidité❤❤❤❤bonjour de France🇫🇷🇫🇷
As I did as well, FA. Mid-70's, Omaha, Pershing Auditorium, I got past security, climbed up and peered over the wooden fence. There he was with his manager. We spent 10 minutes talking till the intro music started up..."Rick, let's go, it's time. "Gotta go. Thank you, Dale."
I was maybe 8 when I got my first Rock N Roll record. It was Poor Little Fool and I never looked back ! Thanks Rick. (And James Burton, guitar and Joe Osborn bass )
Rick had one of the "GREATEST" guitar player in his band in the earlier years...James Burton (He's there in all those scenes in The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet in the late Fifties, when the Nelsons' younger son, budding teen idol Ricky Nelson, would sing and the girls would swoon: James Burton was the lanky guitarist behind Ricky, an easy smile on his face as he accompanied the kid's rockabilly and pop .)
This was the band that died with him on that DC-3 up in Avery, Texas area. I have been to the sight......that was a fateful New Years Eve. I will never forget it....part of my youth died when he did......Miss you EHN....rip. RR
I just want to say Rick's birthday will be mother's day as we remember him let us not forget his band members Bobby Neal was a very great guitarist Rick Enfield was a great drummer and the others of the band. I miss them as much as Rick Nelson RIP to all of them.
Saw him at the Tulsa Fair 1985, in Oct before he was killed. I threw a rose up on the stage & it landed just perfectly on his guitar & stayed there for the remainder of his song. Such beautiful music from a beautiful man.
oh my my. he was wonderful. I love him... his picture hangs on my wall in bedroom. I miss him and his lovely voice and his great songs. rip... thanks for sharing this great video.
ARE YOU DREAMING YES ELVIS WOULD COME CLOSE TO RICK NELSONS LOOKS ELVIS WAS THE MOST GORGEOUS MAN IN THE WHOLE WORLD ON THE PLANET YOU ARE SO WRONG ABOUT THAT THEN YOU MUST DONT LIKE ELVIS THAT MUCH CAUSE I LOVE ELVIS SO MUCH HE IS MY FAVORITE SINGER AND HE IS THE BEST SINGER IN THE WHOLE WORLD I LOVE RICK NELSON TO BUT ELVIS IS MY FAVORITE THOUGH
I know. Bless David. He really loved his brother. I grew up on this family. Rick was still going strong all those yrs later. 20 odd yrs after he did this song he still had it was great.
I was never a fan of Elvis. But Ricky Nelson, and the Everly Brothers were the ones I liked so much when I was a kid. They were so handsome and wonderfully talented. We don't have talent like theirs around any more.
Saw him in Austin at Liberty Lunch many years ago. My biggest impression is that he was musician with a lot of integrity, fame, etc; aside. I was glad I went to see Ricky.
I had the pleasure of attending a Rick Nelson concert back in 1978 at the DB'S Club in the Hyatt Regency in Dearborn Michigan and it was a dream come true to listen to his music live? Having grown up watching Ozzie and Harriet and following Ricky Nelson as a child and loving all his music what true classic that was, R.I.P Rickey Nelson!
Wow, some of the young artists with horrible clothes and unflattering haircuts could take a lesson from a smooth classy act like Ricky Nelson. What style, and I always loved this song. Thank you for sharing.
Everyone I am 63 good years, full blooded cowboy ,my wife is the best there ever will be. We both loved Rick Nelson and his singing. No way he took Drugs. I am strickly country and not this crap now day.
February 05, 1986|By United Press International. 438 WASHINGTON - Traces of cocaine, marijuana and the pain killer Darvon were found in Rick Nelson`s blood in tests conducted after the New Year`s Eve plane crash that killed the pop singer and six other people, officials said Tuesday. Toxicological reports released by the National Transportation Safety Board showed traces of metabolized and un metabolized cocaine and a compound of Darvon in Nelson`s blood and urine samples. His blood samples showed traces of marijuana.
Rick Nelson was a talented and underrated artist. He reived allot of television exposure, but Rick was talented too. You don't sell 30,000,000 records on hype alone.
Being 66, I grew up with Rick & his music. Truly one of the greats in Rock & Roll. He stayed true to himself and his music. British invasion, disco, punk, heavy metal... you still could depend on Rick for his outstanding music: classic Rock! I'm not sure if its on you tube, but Ozzie (his dad) produced the very first music video: Rick doing Traveling Man, years before videos became common place! Nothing brings a smile to my face like a Rick Nelson song - love ya Rick, always will!
Rick is my cousin. I'm from Ohio and my Aunt Joy (years ago) got to meet Ricky backstage in Dayton. She said he was so nice and that he knew he had family here. My grandmothers maiden name is Hillard. She was Rickys 1st cousin. Guess I'll never meet him now. Love Ricky and his music!!!!!!
Sorry to say you were misinformed, Harriet Hilliard was her stage name, given name was Peggy Lou Snyder & she was born in Iowa. I like the name Hilliard better :) but Wiki , IMDB & others not likely wrong.
Ricky Nelson was hot till the day he died! I remember my Dad took us as kids to see him in concert in Toronto and he died shortly after. He had the bluest eyes ever!!
❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉 musica lindíssima boa gosto Rick Nelson cantor faz muito sucesso até hoje faz muito sucesso até hoje faz muito sucesso até hoje faz muito sucesso até hoje faz muito sucesso até hoje faz muito
I was walking around an Auto show in the Oakland Coliseum in the late 70's and in the back of the arena a small band was playing as the people were looking at the cars. Hardly anyone stopped to watch Rickey Nelson and his band; I was amazed to see who was playing, stopped for a few minutes and went back to looking at cars. To me, he was like a neighborhood kid next door. RIP Rick, you are missed.
At the age of 11 years old I think that I wore out the jukebox copy of that song at Napa Valley Ranch Club. I was just starting to learn guitar then....Rick was a major influence along with James Burton, Jimmy Dodd, and others.
One of the most adoring memories of my mum & step father is their love of music..this is how I came to appreciate Ricky Nelson's talent and songs and all legendary singers of the 50s & 60s. Thanks for sharing.
The man who inspired me to play a guitar & want to sing his beautiful songs when I was 10. Thank you Ricky & Happy Birthday (5/8/2022). At 70, I'm still singing your songs celebrating alongside you with a warmth & a sigh in my heart. Rest in Peace & Love 🎂
Toujours beau malgré les années, toujours sa belle voix, je l adore pour toujours, il est beau, il a une voix magnifique, il est tellement charismatique❤❤❤
Good Song. Very handsome So sad he died so young. I was 13 when he was killed but my parents played this song and others. He is the same as my father who will soon be 70. Wow time flies
I'm 52 years old I grew up listening to rick from my brother's and sister who's quite a bit older than me. But Rick always had a great band and he always was clean cut and 85 percent of his songs were great.
Rick Nelson, actor and musician, for a lifetime an honest unaffected style, consumate good taste, and musical artistic integrity untill his dying day. A man as strong as his work.
That is cool. How much his music had an impact on you He would have been the same age of my father if was alive today. I was 13 when he was killed and I remembered how sad my parents were to hear it and I must say he was a talented and very handsome man. I am glad to see his music is liked by other generations such as mine. I am 39 years old and I enjoy many legendary song of that era and this is one of my favorites
Lordy I have loved Ricky Nelson my entire life. Wherever he is, hope he's resting in peace. I am olde now & still miss him madly. He was my first love & I spent many a night yearning for his beautiful soothing voice & wildly mesmerizing turquoise eyes. Love love love love love love love love
There's a great story about how Rickey came to record this song that was really written for the great Sam Cooke to record. Sam's manager at the time threw in the trash can and one of Ricky's group members pulled it out of the can and brought it to him. The rest, as they say, is history.
One of the GREATS!!
The only singer in my opinion that is right under Elvis Presley.
I showed my wife this video. She said Rick is more handsome at 45 than he was when he was 20!! I'm 69 and I remember VIVIDLY the day of December 31, 1985 when he died in that tragic aviation incident. He was very talented and loved by many. May he RIP.
Yes my friend, you are not alone in your love for our Rickie Nelson as I still refer to him 65 years later!
I seen him at Tulsa State Fair and he was dressed exactly the same! It was 1983 I think. I was 16 and fought my way to the front of the stage! I knew every word to every song! I'm still devastated. 😢
One of early rock n roll's great teen idols, forever young.
Elvis and Rick both were beautiful instead de and out.. both equally handsome and gifted by God . Miss them both. When men looked like men…
Its been 30 years since Rick Nelson's plane went down. RIP You will be never be forgotten
Emo ele vou amar ele estará comigo no meu coração
Never - great artist / great person ❤❤❤
What a voice we'll done miss you ❤
Great intertanter miss you Rickie
We saw Rick 3 weeks before he passed. So sad. I will always love him.
Extremely handsome Ricky Nelson with his superb voice!
Grew up listening to Ricks music and I still enjoy it today at 67 years young.
Y yo con Elvis ,desde el año 60.

It doesn't get better than this.
Magnifique chanteur, toujours un bonheur de l écouter avec sa voix tellement sensuelle, il est tellement beau❤❤❤❤❤
Pop has taught the boys well they are as great as Rick was. Thanks Nelson’s we love you.
Bei der Musik denkt man gerne an die Früheren Zeiten zurück.Es waren viel mehr Gefühle zu spüren.
At 71, I miss him more and more! Hard to imagine after his glamour in life what a truly humble good person he was!

It's hard to believe this December makes 35 years since we lost the talent of Ricky Nelson

oh my my. he was wonderful. I love him... his picture hangs on my wall in bedroom. I miss him and his lovely voice and his great songs. rip... thanks for sharing this great video.
Rick Nelson…the person that the term “Teen Idol” was coined for.
He was cool, talented, handsome and from what I've read, a nice guy. Wish he was still around.
It’s great to see JamesBurton, too. Still rocking.
He was Elvis handsome and had a good voice, but Rick Nelson was cool. He played with a lot of confidence and was quietly charming.
Elvis handsome? No. You're an idiot for even thinking that.
Na, he WAS elvis handsome minus-1 but that is it. Rick was the real deal and panties would come off
Elvis couldn’t come close to Ricky Nelson‘s looks.
ARE YOU DREAMING YES ELVIS WOULD COME CLOSE TO RICK NELSONS LOOKS ELVIS WAS THE MOST GORGEOUS MAN IN THE WHOLE WORLD ON THE PLANET YOU ARE SO WRONG ABOUT THAT THEN YOU MUST DONT LIKE ELVIS THAT MUCH CAUSE I LOVE ELVIS SO MUCH HE IS MY FAVORITE SINGER AND HE IS THE BEST SINGER IN THE WHOLE WORLD I LOVE RICK NELSON TO BUT ELVIS IS MY FAVORITE THOUGH
Elvis much more handsome than Rick and anyone else in the world
One of my favorite songs in 1961! Love it!
He was still as handsome as at 20. How sad , he died in that awful plane crash.
I know. Bless David. He really loved his brother. I grew up on this family. Rick was still going strong all those yrs later. 20 odd yrs after he did this song he still had it was great.
awesome performer, truly a star and a gentleman, so sad we lost him too soon in a plane crash, awful tragedy
So handsome never really recognized for his voice too bad
I was never a fan of Elvis. But Ricky Nelson, and the Everly Brothers were the ones I liked so much when I was a kid. They were so handsome and wonderfully talented. We don't have talent like theirs around any more.

This guy is the most genuine sincere item.
He wears an actual suit even though it makes him sweat (well "glow", a very light sweat). What a classy man!
Beautiful man
Rick Nelson was a talented and underrated artist. He reived allot of television exposure, but Rick was talented too. You don't sell 30,000,000 records on hype alone.
+john meyer
Why not? Madonna did.
Hey John Meyer. How is it that you call Ricky 'underrated' after he sold 30 million record?
what a doll after all this dreamy autralian girl
Philip Shearman, Cause the Beatles sold 1,000,000,000 and so did elvis
Very true, the Beatles, Elvis, Johnny cash, Madonna, all of them sold far more than ricky, and Ricky is just as good as all of them
One of the best of all times
Rick was my idol since 1958. And everyone's teen idol in many years to come.

Saw him with my girlfiend Dorothy this night. Saw him at the old Palamino Club in Norh Hollywood years before. Great shows.
Thank you for this clip!. The only time I got to see Ricky was in October 1985, a few months before he died. It was certainly worth the wait!
There's a great story about how Rickey came to record this song that was really written for the great Sam Cooke to record. Sam's manager at the time threw in the trash can and one of Ricky's group members pulled it out of the can and brought it to him. The rest, as they say, is history.
