This song demonstrated Rick's voice range. I love when he sang "Dinah" at 1:43 and on to 1:50 and repeated near the end. I wish this and all of his videos were in color. It's still great to listen and watch.
He sings this really well... If you can ignore the cluttered, muddy instrumental arrangement behind him. Usually his back-up is excellent, but this isn't working.
@leigh877 - I read that got stolen from someone else's house. I read it in "Lonesome Town- the real story of America's Favorite Family." It isn't official. I don't think there is an official biography. If grammar is a big deal, don't read the book. The editing is horrible!
@Thearl I thought it got burned in the plane crash he was in. If it was stolen, then that's really too bad. His twin sons would have treasured it forever.
I think he pulls it off, but I would bet money this is another one of Ozzie's ill-advised ideas. He always had Rick do these old 30s tunes. Sometimes it worked(Fools Rush In), sometimes not.
Dinah is an old 1930's Eddie Cantor song, arranged by Jimmy Haskell, sung brilliantly by Rick. James Burton's tremlo major seventh chords are not readily audible. Guitar is there - you need to listen to the original recording. Bill Parker and Iain Young writers for Ace Records - check Rick's Rarities on Ace' website. Keep on rockin'.
a babe for sure

@leigh877 I heard Rick's guitar was stolen while he was host, on saturday night live, around 1978.

To have to Rick miming on tv was the worst idea.
Rick Nelson never went to Ed Sullivan tv show to sing live with his band and this was a great mistake of Ozzie.

This is one of the best songs I've heard in a while. Too bad some writers and producers keep Rick going in the late 70's.
