  • It's not Dylan, but it's the best rendition I've found on YouTube since most of Bob's originals were removed several months ago. Thanks for posting.

  • Beautiful, haunting. He was one of the best.

  • ricky recorded some really great songs and this a good attempt at this one ,but if you want the best you need to listen to the walker brothers singing this one

  • what a great choice by Rick,he did this so well.

  • song is all about love this is a beautiful version check out the beaver street hat band version on you tube feel the love on there recording

  • I once had no less than Gordon Lightfoot tell me a song means what YOU think it means at the time you hear it. Which means, I think, that if it's a really good song it means something different every time you hear it. This is a Dylan song with which I was not familiar...and, @theoriginalbob, if I wanted to click the 'Thumb Down' button, I wouldn't hesitate.

  • Great version of this song even though he omitted a verse

  • @dllewiszz Omit a verse, add a new verse, so what? The song still wouldn't make any sense. Be that as it may, I LOVE this song and I LOVE Ricky's version of it. I've loved it since Dylan first recorded it, I've seen him sing it in person, I was born on Ricky Nelson's second birthday, and my name is Rick, but, try as I may, I still can't understand what the hell the song is "about." A careful reading of the lyrics is of no help. I just enjoy, very much, listening to it.

  • @theoriginalbadbob I've read a few analyses of the song and have reached some of the same conclusions as others when I've dug into it. It's pretty deep for a guy as young as Dylan at the time. Turley Richards covered it pretty nicely too.

  • @dllewiszz I know next to nothing about musical theory, but I know what I like. The piano, on this recording, is magnificently beautiful, but it isn't playing the "right" notes. Is that called playing in a minor key? Also, I'm pretty sure the song is about love.

  • @theoriginalbadbob It's a bit too busy for my liking and perhaps a bit too loud in the mix. I love Rick's rendition of the song but the piano, for me, is stepping on him too much.

  • If anyone is even THINKING of clicking the "Thumb Down" thingee, pay attention to this: I have installed spyware on this video, I will find out who you are, I will track you down, and I will kill you, if you click it.

  • great version great artist.

  • Ricky Nelson ist viel zu früh gegangen - er gehörte zu den Besten!

  • A very good version.

  • Love this song!!

  • RIP Rick...one of the great, under appreciated talents of Rock. Gone for more than 25 years and I miss him greatly.

  • Great take, the best I have heard other than Joan Baez's.

  • Yes.

  • Dylan's songs are like the ocean, carrying great majestic ships full of songs to  destinations so everyone may profit.

  • Great vid!! =)

  • love you 4ever rick!!!!

  • Oh, I'd like to download all these beautiful songs of Ricky so I can listen to them more often.

  • marieren ... do you have EVERY song Rick ever sang. I like this song. It sounds like it was written for him to sing. Thanks for another good one!!
