The 37th #1 song on Billboard's newly formed chart that is now the Adult Contemporary charts. This style of music would only make an impact on this chart, because while this was #1 on the AC chart, The Beatles were at #1 with I Want to Hold Your Hand on the Top 40 charts, which forever changed the direction of the music industry.
I discovered Ricky's music only yesterday, though some songs like Poor Little Fool, Hello Mary Lou and Garden Party sounded quite familiar so I must have heard them before. But so far, this one is my favorite, followed by She Belongs To Me. This man was more than just a teenage idol. And what an unlikely teenage idol! At seventeen he looked like a thirty-year-old with that stern face, business suit and chest hair. At the time of his death he looked not a day older than in the late 1950s.
Ricky Nelson RIP

Such great memories....Billy Meserve & his comical, bumbling antics in the 60`s in Pueblo, Colo.!

the guy could have shared pieces of his looks with 10000 other men and he still would have been the handsomest guy on the planet!
RIP rick
