Rick Nelson - Summertime

*STEREO* I am sucker for most versions of "Summertime". Put that together with Rick Nelson and you've got a great song. The first track on the 1962 album "Album Seven By Rick". Was the B-side of the hit "Young World", and also a minor hit in its own right.

I've never heard any of his stuff ebefore. I like this, it's a catchy little number. Wonder if Ricky got any royalties from Purple's biggest UK Hit Black Night before he died (probably not!) Cheers for posting.

@DCHurlford1 Pleased to help out with the new experiences. Enjoy!

@SirBasildeBrush Me again. Recently purchased one of his many hits cd's, titled 25 Greatest Hits (released by EMI in 1998) which also includes this song. Focuses on his late 50's/ early 60's stuff. Good sound quality as well.

@DCHurlford1 Sounds like you hit gold with your CD. His recordings are always the best quality sound.

For all who are IGNORANT. Rick Nelson never wrote this song or the bass riff borrowed by many such as Deep Purple's " Black Knight" , The Liverpool Five's " She's Mine" and Blues Magoos " Aint Seen Nothing Yet". Johnny Rivers completely lifted James Burton's guitar intro here and used it for his version of 'Memphis". That's the way it is...all those tunes are on You Tube...go check for yourselves.

@jimmyhayers No, this is where it came from originally dumbass! this IS where Sublime got it from, you r wrong, I am right, so shut the fuck up u weasely little moron!

[jimmyhayers]

@jbettar No, this song had been sung by many people before this dude.

[jbettar]

So this is where Sublime got the line 'Summertime and the livin's easy'

Nah, that second guitar riff that comes in is just a slight modification of Howlin' Wolf's Smokestack Lightning.

@KOOLEO329

You've answered my question...it comes naturally.

[KOOLEO329]

@Calipalli

Do you practice talking shit or does it come naturally?

[Calipalli]

@spacecowboy7580 Maybe MB300 meant it for SirBasil who really should be knighted eh?

[spacecowboy7580]

Why do people talk about Pink's hit..So What..being a rip off from this..it's nothing like it.

She goes..nanana nana nana nanana nana na

This is like na na na na na na na na nana nana

But seriously...listen to them both...you'll see there is a big difference.

@MB300TE
