  • i could listen to this all day

  • In 1987 I kissed Ricky Nelson, and I have felt a bond ever since..

  • Thank you so much for posting this song that was off of one of Ricky Nelson's Albums. I have always loved this great song.

  • Such a sweet song ! Enjoyed very much ! That's all I write :)) ********

  • Thanks to James B. for those flawless key changes.

  • I'm 16 and he's my favorite singer.

  • @ParisSud91

    Good for you, keep Ricky's name alive.

  • Baromi jók a számai, de a Ricky se semmi!! Kár, hogy már nincs közöttünk!!!

  • love this song. can't find it on itunes though =(

  • @missaloveselvis ik! i hate when the best songs arent on itunes! it sux

  • @omarskats3000 Actually, a way that I am getting songs is : off youtube, using a microphone and Microsoft sound recorder. Of course it may not be cd quality, but it's good enough for me! (I'm sure that may not be legal to do, but I say , why make youtube available then, or sound recorder available?!) It takes a bit of tinkering to get it set up right, but if interested I could send you more info. on that. Good luck!

  • @geebeeman1 you can also record the song on windows movie maker and save it into itunes. my old computer (back when I posted that coment) didnt have movie maker, but now I'm definitely going gto try it. thank you for the advice :)

  • well she obviously has problems ricky, you should leave her for me. ♥

    Praguefrank's Country Music Discographies

    muss ich mal suchen

  • i like this song....

  • Glen Campbell played or sang on at least 100 of Rick's songs from 1961--March 1967, when Glen became successful in his own right

  • there's a site called Praguefrank's Country Music Discographies that has just about all of Rick's sessions, including session players, where I found much of this info; it's worth checking out;

    you were fortunate seeing the BB; i'm a huge Beach Boys fan, but I was born too late

  • @jeremylr68

    I have seen them a few times in the last few years, at Casino Rama in Orillia Ontario, they are still great, the performances are excellent, even though Mike Love is the only remaining original member.

  • Yes, I found that out about Glen while reading Rick's 1992 bio, "Teenage Idol, Travelin' Man," by Philip Bashe; Glen also recorded with Rick, songwriter Jerry Fuller, & guitarist Dave Burgess as The Fleas & The Trophies during 1961 & 1962 (Rick was on background vocals); btw, these same guys are the "vocal trio" I mentioned earlier

    Glen also played bass during April 1966 when Rick toured the Far East, since resident bassist Joe Osborn feared transoceanic flying

  • This song is on Rick's December 1963 album, "Rick Nelson Sings 'For You;" it's available on a 1997 Ace cd (UK company) that couples that album with his other 1963 one, "For Your Sweet Love"

  • Cool video; Glen Campbell's also playing rhythm guitar on here; he was on many of Rick's sessions from 1961--1967; did a lot of background vocals in 1961, '62; he's part of the trio singing on "Young World" & "It's Up To You"

  • @jeremylr68

    I didn't know Glen ever backed up Ricky. I saw a Beach Boys Concert here In Toronto in the early 60's, and Glen was filling in for Brian Wilson, because Brian wouldn't travel.

  • HOW LOVELY!!!! NEVER HEARD BEFORE, WHAT CD/RECORDING COMES FROM???

    MILLION THANKS FOR UPLOADING!!!!!!!!

  • First single record I ever owned! "For You" b/w this. I still say this 45 was the pinnacle of Rick Nelson's career. One of the greatest A/B sides EVER!

  • have tried to download this song and others from a music site but nothing comes up in searches, so thank you for posting x

  • I'm definitely living in the wrong era..:p luv these songs :)

  • Great Music. Is it better music like yet , and im only 14;-) I´m born in the false time. Ricky Nelson was a great performer.

  • One of my favorite Ricky Nelson songs!! Thank you for the posting!!

  • I'm a straight man but I accept that he has a beautiful woman face.

  • I bought this song in the early 1960s when I was a kid. It was on the Decca Label and it still sounds great! This was Rick Nelson's answer to Elvis Presley's hit song Return to Sender! I wish I could have heard him sing live! I did get to watch "Here Come The Nelsons' TV show that was still on in the mid 1960s. Rick Nelson was the kid next store who became a TV star and then a Rock Star over night! The power of TV played a part in it , but his talent and charm made him a teenage Idol!

  • The First Time I Heard This Song Was Off Frostwire, I Never Knew Ricky Had So Many Songs, THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This was the first 45 record that I bought. I was 8 years old and with my cousin, DeeDee in Newark, NJ at her Dad's laundramat. He gave us each a quarter and we went around the corner to a record shop...i still love it...i saw Ricky at the Tropicana In AC just before he died...I still love to hear him sing...

  • As always a perfect song from Rick!!!.

    To you all Rick fans there is a wonderful dvd called RICK SINGS where his three sons sing and James Burton plays guitar, is amazing!!!.

    GREAT SONG!!!. LONG LIVE RICK!!!

    Ana

  • Best song^^

  • What sane girl could kiss that face goodbye?

  • His ex-wife was nuts! But then again, he wasn't home much.

  • Great vid for this wonderful song.

    Rey

  • I found the song! I thought it had a different name....Thank you....One of my favs from him....

  • He left us too soon.

  • Luv this song n ricky nelson aww he was great(sigh)^_^lol

  • I Love this song so much.

    And I Love Ricky.

    His voice is perfect and just everything about him is flawless :)

  • The single FOR YOU was backed with THAT'S ALL SHE WROTE back in late 1963 (Decca 31574). I'm looking at an original 1963 picture sleeve copy right now.

  • Way Cool. I have a lot of Elvis and Rick original 45's, but not that one.

  • Thanks for the post, dude!

  • You're welcome, It's one of my all time favourites.

  • The flip side of, "For You."

  • For you was the first 45 i ever bought back in 1964. This song was definitely not the flip side.

  • What was? I too bought it in '64 & I've known it to be the only flip side of the single on all the pressings I've seen.

  • 31 décembre 1985, victime d'un accident d'avion au Texas. Une pensée et une bougie ce 31 décembre 2008 pour Rick Nelson.

    Fan France.

  • Mmmm...that guitar.

  • Oooooooooooooh thank you so much!!!

  • thanks for post.......

    i love him sooooooooooooooo.........

  • LOVE this song, and love the pics. LOVE THAT MAN!!

  • thanks mum

  • One of mine and Ginger's favorites. A great little tune off of Rick's 2nd LP for Decca, "Rick Nelson sings For You". Rick sure picked a gem when he did this Keith Colley/Nancy Mantz song.

    James Burton, Joe Osborne, Ray Johnson, and Richie Frost did a splendid job with the instrumentation.

  • Hey Wally, let's go grab a malt and go to a dance where they never play music with vocals because they'd have to pay royalties?? :-)

    My favorite Rick song, as well. You have good taste!! If this was released as an A Side and about a year and a half earlier, it would have been a number 1. Same deal with "I Wonder", which was originally recorded by The Pentagons.

    Actually, thinking about it, another song that's just as good as this is "Raincoat In The River", which has a very similar melody!

  • Man, VeeFan'64... this is a sharp Rick recording! I dug it the first time I heard it. For me it was like finding buried treasure. (I had never heard of it before buying the "Sings For You" album at a swap meet. It was in A- condition so it was pretty clean.) I was most pleased when I first heard "That's All She Wrote". I liked it enough to acquire another LP of the same, but this time in STEREO! Cool!

    "Raincoat in the River" is another real nice one.

    -- Wally
