I was never a fan of Elvis. But Ricky Nelson, and the Everly Brothers were the ones I liked so much when I was a kid. They were so handsome and wonderfully talented. We don't have talent like theirs around any more.
I showed my wife this video. She said Rick is more handsome at 45 than he was when he was 20!! I'm 69 and I remember VIVIDLY the day of December 31, 1985 when he died in that tragic aviation incident. He was very talented and loved by many. May he RIP.
I seen him at Tulsa State Fair and he was dressed exactly the same! It was 1983 I think. I was 16 and fought my way to the front of the stage! I knew every word to every song! I'm still devastated. 😢
As I did as well, FA. Mid-70's, Omaha, Pershing Auditorium, I got past security, climbed up and peered over the wooden fence. There he was with his manager. We spent 10 minutes talking till the intro music started up..."Rick, let's go, it's time. "Gotta go. Thank you, Dale."
ARE YOU DREAMING YES ELVIS WOULD COME CLOSE TO RICK NELSONS LOOKS ELVIS WAS THE MOST GORGEOUS MAN IN THE WHOLE WORLD ON THE PLANET YOU ARE SO WRONG ABOUT THAT THEN YOU MUST DONT LIKE ELVIS THAT MUCH CAUSE I LOVE ELVIS SO MUCH HE IS MY FAVORITE SINGER AND HE IS THE BEST SINGER IN THE WHOLE WORLD I LOVE RICK NELSON TO BUT ELVIS IS MY FAVORITE THOUGH
I'm 66 and l first heard "Poor little fool" on my little transistor radio when l was 12, in 1969 and it was released in 1958 so he must have been very young, around 18 according to my math, makes sense?
oh my my. he was wonderful. I love him... his picture hangs on my wall in bedroom. I miss him and his lovely voice and his great songs. rip... thanks for sharing this great video.
One of the most adoring memories of my mum & step father is their love of music..this is how I came to appreciate Ricky Nelson's talent and songs and all legendary singers of the 50s & 60s. Thanks for sharing.
I was maybe 8 when I got my first Rock N Roll record. It was Poor Little Fool and I never looked back ! Thanks Rick. (And James Burton, guitar and Joe Osborn bass )
At the age of 11 years old I think that I wore out the jukebox copy of that song at Napa Valley Ranch Club. I was just starting to learn guitar then....Rick was a major influence along with James Burton, Jimmy Dodd, and others.
I know. Bless David. He really loved his brother. I grew up on this family. Rick was still going strong all those yrs later. 20 odd yrs after he did this song he still had it was great.
Rick Nelson was a talented and underrated artist. He reived allot of television exposure, but Rick was talented too. You don't sell 30,000,000 records on hype alone.
Saw him at the Tulsa Fair 1985, in Oct before he was killed. I threw a rose up on the stage & it landed just perfectly on his guitar & stayed there for the remainder of his song. Such beautiful music from a beautiful man.
This was the band that died with him on that DC-3 up in Avery, Texas area. I have been to the sight......that was a fateful New Years Eve. I will never forget it....part of my youth died when he did......Miss you EHN....rip. RR
Being 66, I grew up with Rick & his music. Truly one of the greats in Rock & Roll. He stayed true to himself and his music. British invasion, disco, punk, heavy metal... you still could depend on Rick for his outstanding music: classic Rock! I'm not sure if its on you tube, but Ozzie (his dad) produced the very first music video: Rick doing Traveling Man, years before videos became common place! Nothing brings a smile to my face like a Rick Nelson song - love ya Rick, always will!
This has been and always will be my LIFE-THEME SONG! I have been to a lot of places but have many more to go! Ricky is one of my favorite all-time artists! Keep rock'n Ricky! Good channel, John!
Saw him in Austin at Liberty Lunch many years ago. My biggest impression is that he was musician with a lot of integrity, fame, etc; aside. I was glad I went to see Ricky.
Ricky Nelson was hot till the day he died! I remember my Dad took us as kids to see him in concert in Toronto and he died shortly after. He had the bluest eyes ever!!
There's a great story about how Rickey came to record this song that was really written for the great Sam Cooke to record. Sam's manager at the time threw in the trash can and one of Ricky's group members pulled it out of the can and brought it to him. The rest, as they say, is history.
Everyone I am 63 good years, full blooded cowboy ,my wife is the best there ever will be. We both loved Rick Nelson and his singing. No way he took Drugs. I am strickly country and not this crap now day.
February 05, 1986|By United Press International. 438 WASHINGTON - Traces of cocaine, marijuana and the pain killer Darvon were found in Rick Nelson`s blood in tests conducted after the New Year`s Eve plane crash that killed the pop singer and six other people, officials said Tuesday. Toxicological reports released by the National Transportation Safety Board showed traces of metabolized and un metabolized cocaine and a compound of Darvon in Nelson`s blood and urine samples. His blood samples showed traces of marijuana.
I had the pleasure of attending a Rick Nelson concert back in 1978 at the DB'S Club in the Hyatt Regency in Dearborn Michigan and it was a dream come true to listen to his music live? Having grown up watching Ozzie and Harriet and following Ricky Nelson as a child and loving all his music what true classic that was, R.I.P Rickey Nelson!
Wow, some of the young artists with horrible clothes and unflattering haircuts could take a lesson from a smooth classy act like Ricky Nelson. What style, and I always loved this song. Thank you for sharing.
Rick had one of the "GREATEST" guitar player in his band in the earlier years...James Burton (He's there in all those scenes in The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet in the late Fifties, when the Nelsons' younger son, budding teen idol Ricky Nelson, would sing and the girls would swoon: James Burton was the lanky guitarist behind Ricky, an easy smile on his face as he accompanied the kid's rockabilly and pop .)

@imlavernesmom Don't know the background of this thread, but the NTSC report from May, 1986 concluded beyond much doubt the crash was caused by the faulty heater and, from what was documented, some neglect on the part of one of the co-pilots. It was also common knowledge among his friends and band that he used marajuana and cocaine..but, it was not a serious problem at the time.

The man who inspired me to play a guitar & want to sing his beautiful songs when I was 10. Thank you Ricky & Happy Birthday (5/8/2022). At 70, I'm still singing your songs celebrating alongside you with a warmth & a sigh in my heart. Rest in Peace & Love 🎂
Rick Nelson, actor and musician, for a lifetime an honest unaffected style, consumate good taste, and musical artistic integrity untill his dying day. A man as strong as his work.
I just want to say Rick's birthday will be mother's day as we remember him let us not forget his band members Bobby Neal was a very great guitarist Rick Enfield was a great drummer and the others of the band. I miss them as much as Rick Nelson RIP to all of them.

Yes my friend, you are not alone in your love for our Rickie Nelson as I still refer to him 65 years later!

Loved Ricky and his music taken away from us so young r.i.p
He didn’t have to do anything but stand there. So handsome
One of early rock n roll's great teen idols, forever young.
Elvis and Rick both were beautiful instead de and out.. both equally handsome and gifted by God . Miss them both. When men looked like men…
We saw Rick 3 weeks before he passed. So sad. I will always love him.
Loved ricky nelson
The only singer in my opinion that is right under Elvis Presley.
Met the man in person, he was truely humble and good guy!
RIP

Bei der Musik denkt man gerne an die Früheren Zeiten zurück.Es waren viel mehr Gefühle zu spüren.
One of my favorite songs in 1961! Love it!
awesome performer, truly a star and a gentleman, so sad we lost him too soon in a plane crash, awful tragedy
they will never be another ricky nelson
Agree.
He was Elvis handsome and had a good voice, but Rick Nelson was cool. He played with a lot of confidence and was quietly charming.
Elvis handsome? No. You're an idiot for even thinking that.
Na, he WAS elvis handsome minus-1 but that is it. Rick was the real deal and panties would come off
Elvis couldn’t come close to Ricky Nelson‘s looks.
ARE YOU DREAMING YES ELVIS WOULD COME CLOSE TO RICK NELSONS LOOKS ELVIS WAS THE MOST GORGEOUS MAN IN THE WHOLE WORLD ON THE PLANET YOU ARE SO WRONG ABOUT THAT THEN YOU MUST DONT LIKE ELVIS THAT MUCH CAUSE I LOVE ELVIS SO MUCH HE IS MY FAVORITE SINGER AND HE IS THE BEST SINGER IN THE WHOLE WORLD I LOVE RICK NELSON TO BUT ELVIS IS MY FAVORITE THOUGH
Elvis much more handsome than Rick and anyone else in the world
THE MOST HANDSOME MAN IN THE WHOLE WORLD AND THE BEST SINGER EVER..
Joan Sharp you got that right
I THINK RICK NELSON WAS THE SECOND MOST HANSOME MAN IN THE WHOLE WORLD FIRST IS ELVIS ELVIS IS THE MOST HANDSOME MAN IN THE WHOLE WORLD
Grew up listening to Ricks music and I still enjoy it today at 67 years young.
Y yo con Elvis ,desde el año 60.
❤👍🏻

I used to sing in a band, this song is one of the hardest to sing, great job.
It's hard to believe this December makes 35 years since we lost the talent of Ricky Nelson
One of the most adoring memories of my mum & step father is their love of music..this is how I came to appreciate Ricky Nelson's talent and songs and all legendary singers of the 50s & 60s. Thanks for sharing.
At 71, I miss him more and more! Hard to imagine after his glamour in life what a truly humble good person he was!
I was maybe 8 when I got my first Rock N Roll record. It was Poor Little Fool and I never looked back ! Thanks Rick. (And James Burton, guitar and Joe Osborn bass )
He was cool, talented, handsome and from what I've read, a nice guy. Wish he was still around.
Thanks for sharing one of his last great performances. RIP Rick.
Pop has taught the boys well they are as great as Rick was. Thanks Nelson’s we love you.
This guy is the most genuine sincere item.
"He was always a Super Star, to me. Few have it, but he did!"

Rick Nelson was a talented and underrated artist. He reived allot of television exposure, but Rick was talented too. You don't sell 30,000,000 records on hype alone.
+john meyer
Why not? Madonna did.
Hey John Meyer. How is it that you call Ricky 'underrated' after he sold 30 million record?
what a doll after all this dreamy autralian girl
Philip Shearman, Cause the Beatles sold 1,000,000,000 and so did elvis
Very true, the Beatles, Elvis, Johnny cash, Madonna, all of them sold far more than ricky, and Ricky is just as good as all of them

He wears an actual suit even though it makes him sweat (well "glow", a very light sweat). What a classy man!
always like listening to Rick Nelson tunes, great talent and certainly missed by my generation.
Broke my heart the day he died.. and how... Love his music.. the tv show... Gone but not forgotten.
Saw him in Austin at Liberty Lunch many years ago. My biggest impression is that he was musician with a lot of integrity, fame, etc; aside. I was glad I went to see Ricky.
Ricky Nelson was hot till the day he died! I remember my Dad took us as kids to see him in concert in Toronto and he died shortly after. He had the bluest eyes ever!!

Ricky Nelson 's my Teenage Idol,this clip reminds me a lot of great memories...
Many thanks for posting...
