    A very under-rated performer. This guy had a lot of chart topping singles and albums. What a pleasant voice. I have enjoyed listening to his hits for all these many years. What a tragic ending to his life, but his music survives him. Miss ya', Rick... you're truly one of the great ones.

      @@johnfulton4921 you’re right! They both were greater than given credit! And both were always humble & grateful for the success they had! In 2020, much to my surprise, I found out who my birth parents were. One was a semi-famous musician in the SE in the 60’s, named Bobbie Howard & I was told by a half-brother, that I was Brenda Lee’s 2nd or 3rd cousin! All these years of loving her music & never knowing we were related! Adopted kids dream about being related to famous people...but when you’re older & find out...what a shock!

      What you are seeing is the result of when a young man has lots of testosterone coursing through his system. And you get that by early struggle and then the realization of success. A man who is handsome has been tested and then relaxed to create that result. Men who struggle endlessly are not made more handsome by their struggles. And men with hopelessly confused features are at their core, confused.

    James Burton, playing the Fender Telecaster behind Rick, was a star in his own right. Not only did he back Ricky for years, Burton also played lead gutiar for The King (Elvis) up until Presley's death. As late as 2010 James Burton was the honored guest at Eric Clapton's "Crossroads" gutiar festival in Chicago. During his years with Ricky, Burton always had the sweetest gutiar riffs but his playing was never overdone ~ Ricky's voice & presence always carried the show. We'll always miss Ricky.

    Ricky was so handsome and talented. I grew up watching Ricky on the Ozzie and Harriet show. He was my first crush. I was so sad when I learned that he had been killed in a plane crash. Such a sweet soul to have such a sad ending. I’ll always remember Ricky all the terrific things he was. I still listen to all of his music, and still think he had the most fantastic, beautiful blue eyes I’ve ever seen. I’m 72 now, but when I listen to Ricky saying I’m just a girl again. He left us so much and he has missed so much..

    I had such a crush on Ricky when I was 17. I sent him my picture and requested a signed autograph. I got one and cherished it. He was always so groomed and those eyes! I know there were bigger singers like Elvis, but Ricky always had that home town, sweet face, and shy demeanor. The year he died he played after one of our Milwaukee Bucks basketball games. Most of the people left, but we flocked down to the front to see and hear him better. That was the last time we ever heard of Ricky. I was devastated, as I imagine SO many more people were, to hear of the fatal plane crash and his passing. I can hardly wait to get to heaven to hear him sing again, for all eternity! What a sweet man . . .

    There's something about his face when he sings. It's one of the best I've ever seen on an performing artist. I don't know if it was just the era or what but his lack of exaggeration with his expressions just mesmerizes me. It's as if the women in the audience could have stripped down to their bra and panties and this kid would have still just kept his cool. His unshakable cool.

    Ricky Nelson underrated for sure! He had that smooth delivery. Crazy handsome. At 1:50 the great country blues Fender guitar solo still sounds great!
    There’s is no comparing Elvis and Ricky.
    Ricky was great for what he did.
    Elvis was a phenomenon that bridges all black R&B into mainstream. He’s a legend. That doesn’t diminish Ricky Nelson or any other awesome talent of the 1950s. They were great for what they had.

    Rick Nelson was my first love! I was just a little girl when the fam used to watch Ozzie and Harriet. Yes, looking back, teenaged angst was so totally different in the late 50's and early 60's. My older brother hit his teen years in the early 60's and for me it was the late 60's, early 70's. I never stopped loving Rick! When my brother was overseas in Germany in the Viet Nam era, he saw Rick in concert and got his autograph for me! I think my love for James Taylor came from Ricks music ..

      +Jack A Better looking and a better singer than Elvis? Tell me, are the clouds still pink & fluffy in La La Land?? It's certainly short of an opticians that's for sure. The following concept may be unfathomable to you, but have you ever thought that you can praise a singer without resorting to making stupid remarks about another?? Thankfully, as an Elvis fan, I don't have to resort to such crass stupidity to argue Elvis' case - history and the way he changed both music and popular culture does it for me. Now I'm going to break my own rule and say that Ricky Nelson's voice was a rather bland, limited one. He sounded the same on everything, be it a rocker or a ballad. Elvis could sing something like Hound Dog and Are You Lonesome Tonight and sound equally great in both, yet sound totally different. I like Ricky Nelson but a better singer than Elvis? Yeah, and I'm a better singer than Caruso. Keep taking the tablets pal. You never know, they might start working one day.

    And do what you're gonna do
    Well you know how I feel
    So I'm leaving it up to you
    It's all so clear
    That I would give everything I own
    To have you near
    Never leave me all alone
    I need your love
    So, darling, please be fair
    Let me know where I stand
    And I hope that you say you care
    Well I've laid my cards on the table
    And its oh so plain to see
    That I'm ready, willing and able
    To love you faithfully
    It's up to you
    No, it's not for me to say
    You love me too
    Oh, but I hope you feel that way
    Make up your mind
    And do what you're gonna do
    Well you know how I feel
    So I'm leaving it up to you
    Make up your mind
    And do what you're gonna do
