Ricky Nelson
I have 28 songs by Rickie Nelson in my iTunes library.
If I have the facts right, he began recording in 1957 up until 1973. Unfortunately he is no longer with us.
Here is one:
Ricky Nelson?Young Emotions-New Video - YouTube
Remember how we use to rock back and forth like the audience in this video?
Our Military members may enjoy this little tune.
Ricky Nelson - Travelin' Man 1961 - YouTube

Was just scanning Rick Nelson bio. Did not know that his DC-3 that he died in once belonged to Jerry Lee Lewis. That could mean a craft with a hex or loaded with evil spirits.

Yea, I grew up with the Nelsons and the Cleavers. Look what the kids have now: the Kardashhounds.
NO class; and no morals.

I liked much of Rick's music. My sister had a holy fit when he did
his number at the end of the family show. His later music which he
had control over was his best.

I still like Travelin' Man! I used to travel to South America a lot and told my friends up here that I was the Travelin' Man Ricky Nelson sang about. I'd get a roll of the eyes, but I knew they were just a bit envious, or they thought of me as a man of ill repute, lacking in moral character

Agreed. Travelin' Man was one of his best.
Ricky, unlike the TV star singers could actually sing.
Remember Paul Peterson, Shelly Fabares, the kid from The Rifleman? The studios wanted their younger stars to be popular with the kids so they made them sing, under contract. Bill Board says Shelly Fabares had to do take after take and finally they pieced together the best parts of each take to get a decent result. Even so Johnny Angel turned out pretty good.

I remember the afternoon I heard they had went down in the DC-3 at the time they said he was doing what ever they do with cocaine on a gasoline heater in the aircraft, a later report said they were not but the crash was due to a fauly heater, but like so many stories the retraction came to late and a lot of folks just remembered that. Iall ways liked Rick Nelson and I never believed the story. Jeff

I have two copies of one of his greatest hits CDs. One for the truck and one for the garage. Listen to 'em regularly.

Thank you for saying this.
I myself was severely burned and I happened to have been treated by a surgeon that worked on the pilot that landed the plane. That pilot relates a different story about Mr. Nelson, and how he protected his fiancé as best he could until he died. Shielding her from the flames with his body. In the end I guess it doesn't matter, she died. Yet knowing how much pain I was in during my accident, I can do nothing but respect Rick Nelson fully for protecting Helen Blair. But I do find it disgusting how the public prefers to talk about Ricky Nelson and his band doing drugs, and that causing the fire. The fire had something to do with the heater, I can remember mostly what I was told, but I am not sure as to its accuracy. It wasn't because of drugs is all that matters.
I grew up watching Ozzie and Harriet on the Disney Channel, I remember him singing with Dean Martin on the old John Wayne movie, Rio Bravo. I love some of his songs.
Thanks again Jeff for not jumping on the drug bandwagon in his story.

I saw Rick Nelson and The Stone Canyon Band at a county fair around 1981 and he was great. You could tell he was enjoying playing to a live audience and the band was in top form too. He was a talent that never sold out.
