Rick Nelson ~ You Know What I Mean [1985]

http://realitycatcher-alapoet.blogspot.com/

Rick Nelson turns in a great performance of the Mickey Jupp song "You Know What I Mean," from September 13, 1985 on "Solid Gold", just over three months before Nelson's December 31, 1985 death in a plane crash.

Before the performance is a brief (one-minute) tribute and career overview which "Solid Gold" used to preface the performance when they re-broadcast it in 1986.

Where can I find this song???

[alapoet]

soultexx, look for the album called "Best of Ricky Nelson: Teenage Idol." It was released on the Castle label in 2000.

It's a good 22-track collection, and "You Know What I Mean" is track 11.

WOW, thanks so much for putting this up!!!  HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS OF RICK! He was simply amazing!

What a terrible loss of a good man and great intertainer as well as an A-1 family man. You'll have to look far and wide to find another man with the knock out looks of Rick Nelson, and what a gorgeous beautiful smile, can you believe he was 45 years old.....he looked like 25!!!! Wow!

I read somewhere that Paul McCartney was going to produce Rick's album around this time, but Capitol Records wouldn't allow it because Rick was on a different label and odds are it would've been a huge hit!

[Pop3y3Cahn]

Yeah we shouldn't forget Little Ricky (Intveld), Pat Woodward and Bobby Neal. All great guys and had the pleasure of recording them all for what would be the final album...

Great performance by Rick of one of his best rockabilly songs IMHO; with surprisingly suggestive lyrics (for him).

"She looks swell in a sweater and her corduroys, she likes men but she likes big boys. Do you know what I mean?"

"Every evening when we do our thing, we stay home 'cos she likes it in. Do you know what I mean?"

"We see what you mean."

The Jordanaires reply!

Good stuff. Rick and Dave Edmunds must have come from the same egg.

Rick Nelson and the Jordanaires. I gotta say, Rick is my second favorite legendary performer. Second only to Elvis.

See how the voice is great live, some many times artists fall down live. I will not say it could of been a come back cause he never left with his legacy, but it could of brought him to the fore front again. What a loss, sadly now they are all gone.

Just beautiful i love this man.

[reverbie65]

yes he was great the band is great too he was a very good looking guy used watch the show every time to see what he would play or do next here is a comment he had the same lead player Elvis had hime and ricky do you know he was James Burton

Bobby Neal is great too fantastic player they didnt deserve what happen to them some great players I got a freind who played in his band and said he was first
