silky smooth song by the great Mr. Nelson Thanks for puttin this up These clips and times are special even if some only experienced them years later on TV Takes us back to a prime point and period when good music meant everything...regardless of our age!
Fans of Ricky the rocker may have found this one a tad on the schmaltzy side. But he deffinitely had a way with a good ballad. I can't believe that "Young Emotions" was a hit FIFTY years ago, breaking into the American Top 40 on 5/9/60 according to the Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits. I was 13 when this came out.
Smooth and sweet, this performance of Young Emotions is classic Ricky! A great song of Rick's and a favorite of Ginger and myself. This is one of those recordings where the quality of Rick's voice really shows... clean - clear - pure. And of course, the instrumentation is A+.
Oddly, this was not a big chart hit, but what a gem! Tender lyrics and Ricky's pensive delivery really nails it.

Isn't there an instrumental with this song. Cannot find it on YouTube. The melody is very familiar to me.

Elvis has people who impersonate him....Nobody can impersonate Ricky. To me, this guy is the musical King !!!

According to Google, Young Emotions peaked at #12, sometime in 1960. What's a bit puzzling is that the gutiar player appears NOT to be James Burton?
