He was cool too. His sons told a story about how a gentleman named John at one of their concerts told them: Once when John was driving his mom's car on a first date in LA when he was sixteen, they came up to a red light and Rick Nelson rolled up in his Caddy beside them. John's date was freaking out, and Rick rolled down his window and said to John, "Hey man, we hit the studios again on Tuesday, let me know."
He was a wingman to a complete stranger. That's bad ass any day of the week.
"Deadpan"? and "not smiling"? If I a guy was singing or saying, "Baby, I'm sorry," with a big smile on his face, I can imagine how seriously he'd be taken. He knew what he was doing--even when he was 16.
Bonjour Tracy. C'est vrai? vous etes vraiment la fille de Rick Nelson? je n'ose pas y croire, je suis fan français de Rick Nelson dont j'ai connu la musique de légende grace au web.
le soir du 31 decembre une bougie à sa mémoire.
Hello Tracy. It is true? You are really the girl of Rick Nelson? I do not dare to believe in it, I am French fan of Rick Nelson whose music of legend I knew grace about Web.
The evening of 31 decembre a candle to its memory.
Dear Tracy, thank you. At this end of year 2008, all our affectionate thoughts in memory of your pere Rick NELSON, whose talent and the exceptional artistic life we like for ever.
Chère Tracy, merci. En cette fin d'année 2008, toutes nos pensées affectueuses en souvenir de votre pere Rick NELSON, dont nous aimons pour toujours le talent et la vie artistique exceptionnelle.
rick was the real deal. he never has gotten the respect/acclaim that he earned/deserved due to his looks/teen idol image. he had a great voice. he forged a unique niche in music. he was country rock before there was a name for it. + james burton was the man!!!
stingray1955, talent wasted, what do you mean? Other than having to deal with the restrictions his father and the censorship of the times Rick was in I think he did pretty good with his career. Don't understand what you are talking about.
What I meant by the comments was the untimely death in later years in the air plane crash. I think he did very good! Incidently, I agree with all you said, regarding the times etc..
try the strikes version much much better, he copied their version

He has that something in his voice, that captures you... It's kind of scary but you can never turn the radio off, when he starts his song... Amazing
