Marilyn McCoo Ricky Nelson Fools Rush In SOLID GOLD

[@Chainsawslots]

She sings duets flawlessly with so many different partners on this show

[@robertwiley3171]

Marilyn McCoo is without a doubt one of the most beautiful and talented female vocalists of all time.

[@Knards]

As someone who used to wait for Ricky to sing on his dads TV show every week I always cared for rickys singing. As for marilyn she is one of the best singers in rick history

[@missohio83]

They were great together on singing one of my all time favorite Ricky songs! They should have made a single together!

[@bills.1390]

Just a stunningly beautiful woman with a fantastic voice. Rest in peace Ricky.

[@champtour]

I had the privilege of meeting Marilyn McCoo in the 70s when she was with the 5th Dimension. She was wonderful! She was very kind to everyone around her and spoke to me for a few minutes. Very gracious and stunning. I have watched her sing duets with just about everyone from her era…flawlessly. She could literally sing with a refrigerator and make the frig sound like a star!!! I hope she is doing well and is enjoying her life!

[@michelinekribs9563]

Thank you to whomever downloaded this for the rest of us to enjoy. To the eight people who voted thumbs down, whats the matter? Can't stand to see a white man and black female sing together. They were two of the most talented singers/songwriters of my generation. Rest in peace ricky with your patents your brother dave,dusty springfield,whitney houston and way too many to list. Ricky died in an airplane accident just like john denver. Micheline Kribs.Rolla,MO

[@hadoenough]

Rick Nelson had tons of hit records and people tend to forget that.

[@colkidglen8802]

Marilyn could sing without anybody else. What a voice and beautiful stage presence.

[@TheJazzlady40]

Rick was good looking all his life we miss ya rick

[@billbrimmer1739]

That was very nice. They both clicked vocally and with stage presence.

[@maryannrozakis7831]

Beautiful song, beautiful voices.....

[@barryervin8536]

Two of the classiest people in the business. RIP Rick.

[@andreykotlyarov9518]

One of the best versions of this great song!!!

[@gns423]

What a handsome couple they made! Two great singers. Great version of this great song. Thanks for posting!

[@mikeletz]

Great duet

[@cynthiamarshall13]

Ricky was my heart throb at age 14 or so! Never knew until now he sang with Marilyn! Pure delight!

[@sandracrosbyguerrero1284]

Very talented couple.Mr.Nelson Gorgeous as ever😍😍🎄🎄

[@gns423]

What a great duet! Thanks for posting

[@user-mj8nf2vp7q]

That was beautiful!

[@MrNoex63]

Two of the most gorgeous people ever!

[@the1realanalogman]

A pleasant surprise! Didn't have any idea about this collaboration, but I'm sure glad I got to see it. Thanks for the post!

[@Sarasdad91]

Marilyn was so beautiful. Still is I think. And I do miss Rick Nelson.

[@VIRIATO1942]

No matter who sings this song -- and there have been many great, famous singers who have -- it is the song itself that has the most value. It is a beautiful melody and great lyrics. Have loved it since Brook Benton sang it in the early 60's.

[@Monkmaster1969]

Why does everybody rate who did what better than who? Be thankful these images are still around to remind us of what we had back then. I really believe there is a place where Rick, Elvis, Roy, Marvin, Lennon, Harrison are all sitting around and making music you can't even imagine. At least I hope so, I want to see all of 'em again.

[@Maribo33]

Oh Boy, Ricky was so handsome♥ May he rest in peace.

[@colkidglen8802]

Marilyn McCoo sure can Coo. Love Ricky also. I saw him at the fair in San Diego in 1967.

[@leeengelsman6356]

This is so nice to see thanks for this gem.

[@jjs490]

You WERE A Star Rick Nelson !!! So Great, and greatly missed.

[@charsoldest]

Without him I might not even be a guitar player. I suppose the Beatles kicked me into high gear but it all started with Ricky.

[@cynthiaennis3107]

@@charsoldest many say that...one other is John Fogerty!

[@leftys408]

3 months before he tragically died. Great find!

[@anderander5662]

Both of these people were beautiful..... And didn't need auto-tune to sing a song.

[@daobsn91]

Great song. And that Ricky Nelson sure was fine!!!

[@nancynorambuena7201]

Genial , maravilloso . Desde Chile 🎼🎼❤️🇨🇱

[@DougCeleste]

The crash was on New Year's Eve in 1985 and rock and roll lost another legend that night, Just a shame in so many ways, Now Rick, David, Ozzie and Harriet are gone but they have left us with lasting and joyful memories of a simpler and happier time in this world and when television was REALLY worth watching, Just so sad that those innocent days of tv shows are gone forever and we are left with so much garbage on-air that has forced me to NOT watch much tv anymore.

[@eaplvsprsly]

My band and I did a Rapid City South Dakota show that New Years eve and needless to say,I was heartbroken, and dedicated my show to Ricks memory! I still perform Ricks tunes at 60 years old today and get great responses to them! In 1986, January, the Challenger tragedy occured while in Canada,so that was a double whammy for me! I love and miss em ALL!

[@cstcb1974]

Rick was one handsome dude.

[@jude526ify]

So handsome and talented. He and Elvis gone too soon

[@kathleenandaloro6845]

Loved that collaboration. Always loved rick extremely talented, underrated. Marilyn is just extremely talented an beautiful. Rick u were so good looking and sexy!!!!!!! No other star other than elvis Presley no 1 today comes close in music world. RIP RICK

[@judefernandez827]

Ricky Nelson the Prince Charming of Hollywood and Marilyn McCoo the darling of Fifth Dimension singing a beaut song ?Elvis and Ricky were my favourites and are irreplaceable and gone too soon RIP you legends .

[@bbordelon2]

Thanks for this to see Rick Nelson sing one of my favorites "Fools Rush In".

[@craig98shari]

What a great posting... Ricky looked just the my first fiancee.Such a fun video. Sure do miss him.

[@lowfuellevel]

how sweet, love 'em both Rick Nelson and Marilyn McCoo

[@jjs490]

Lots of Chemistry here...two huge talents..!

[@alfonsogreen2722]

that's what I love about Marylin McCoo she could sing with anybody

[@alfonsogreen2722]

Yes indeed

[@alouettedemer5366]

What a beautiful voice she has.

[@erzug]

What a beautiful woman she was. A great combination.

[@jjs490]

Wow , they look so good together, but Ricky owned this song, he was very underrated IMO..gone way too soon...

[@judithcolclasure3430]

THE BEST DUO OF ALL TIME

[@Veronica-kz5dq]

Que lindo, me encanta Ricky Nelson 😘

[@cynthiaennis3107]

LOVED THIS DUET! I miss them! GREAT! ♥️🌹🌿

[@MrLarrycarter]

I grew up in the 60s watching the Nelson TV show. What talent

[@browndog461]

Nice duet, thanks.

[@hiranyawick5297]

That was nice - thanks for sharing.

[@Wolfsky9]

Fantastic duet. They make it look easy. -------------------WolfSky9

[@normagee47]

What a beautiful man!!!!

[@glipzik]

I love Ricky Nelson but I adore Marylyn McCoo

[@ftjax]

Her voice fits any style, song or anything !

[@ccaammiinniiito2]

As I did with the death of Cobain, I deeply lamented the death of Ricky Nelson and the way it took place. I wish we had seen more of this type coupling in my day.

[@imperialfreek]

An intereting contrast, in that Rick's vocals were always concise, and he rarely deviated from his own concept of how the melody should go(not neccessarily a bad thing) whereby MArilyn did more improvisation and melismas...NEverthless, it worked out well...the difference between the 2 was good, I really enjoyed this...

[@steve2713]

Marilyn McCoo had a sound that was so unique and special that I've never heard since the 70's. Go check out her hits with The Fifth Dimension on KZbin at least. If you are not aware of her then I envy what you are about to experience!

[@oranger2525]

despite his "bad habits" nelson looks and sounds great. and marilyn is one of the greatest, ever

[@shigsho]

God bless Rick Nelson.

[@JK-ye2wg]

Who else commenting during isolation 2020?

[@mikeletz]

Great performance

[@DougCeleste]

Thanks for sharing your interesting thoughts. I was born in 1953 and do not remember the Ozzie and Harriet radio show but I DO cherish their television show that I watched weekly. I especially loved the end of the shows with Rick singing songs and the girls screaming. This was at a time when television WAS worth watching compared to the garbage today on-air that I do not watch. Just too bad that Rick left this world much too soon and his loss is especially devastating for his kids and his fans.

[@michaelmartin6912]

Thank you Johnny Mercer.......again..

[@Willboy42]

Great song.

[@terrimanuri7944]

That smile and bottom lip made me melt♥️

[@dbj1941]

Ozzie and Harriet was my favorite radio program when I was a kid probably late 40s and early 50s. The best i remember they came on at about 8:00 pm on Friday nights. Davis and Rickey were about the same ages as my older brother and me and I liked that Rickey always sassed David. They were played by someone else when I listened on the radio as I suppose they were to young to perform live as most radio programs were then. We got a tv when I was about 12 or 13 and I always watched from then on.

[@cloromiratrevino1744]

MORE PLEASE THANKS.... ? WHY JUST NOW FOR US FANS TO ENJOY 😉 PEACE

[@2009metisman]

nice chemistry between them

[@1moredayof]

I liked Ricky Nelson, but I've never heard this song before. Thanks for posting! I also love seeing any video with the awesome Marilyn McCoo!

[@superkat460]

Icon Ricky has the silliest voice ever. Beautful Marilyn added something so special to that song. Loved the duet.

[@jbhchan]

What a tragedy that he died young!! Rick had so much to contribute to modern pop songs! Marilyn is fabulous - so beautiful and talented! She was magnificent in the early 70s.

[@carolecarr5210]

They should have recorded it together - nice duet.

[@thejoshsings9280]

Rick and Marilyn should have made recordings together. They sounded great together!

[@JeremyRoberts]

I found an airdate of September 10th, 1983. I tend to go with this date, since Marilyn McCoo left the show in spring 1984. Also, during fall '83-spring '84, she hosted alone. She returned in fall 1986, after Rick had passed away.

[@3TiraMiMusic]

Lovely song... nice also as a duet...!!!

[@Dan-vt3nk]

Awesome!

[@Red_Rebel]

I feel lucky if had the chance to sit beside him.

[@user-sw8fm4lb7x]

Il a l air tellement intimidé, c'est ce qui fait son charme, il chante trop bien, il est trop beau, on aimerait le prendre dans nos bras❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mariaastudillo4159]

Que lindo Ricky Nelson. No lo había visto con más edad. Alguna canción de estos tiempos que se escuche más de él.

[@MrSlovanprofessor]

very nice, very good, very good song

[@stevegunk]

Girl could sing!

[@doowopdan1879]

From what I've read, by 1985 Rick had kicked his drug habit, and was in fact much healthier physically and mentally (which makes his untimely death at the end of that year even more tragic).

[@cynthiaennis3107]

He was never an addict! All bs to sell papers. His wife...that was another story. All those who worked with Rick told how he couldn’t possibly have been one...see Remembering Ricky! It’s a great tribute & there are great interviews!

[@fixfireleo]

she aged so well...whitney COULD have done the same...

[@mccoofan]

Probably 1983 or 1984. Anyone else know for sure...?

[@meganc.3452]

Rick was so dreamy...

[@richardpatrick2852]

Seems like JFK Jr. had a strong resemblance to young Rick Nelson. IMO

[@Sarasdad91]

As much as I liked Rick Nelson, Elvis didn't steal anything from him. Rick looked as good, he just didn't flaunt it the way Elvis did. I mean in Elvis's way of dancing. Rick as I recall wanted to be like him because his girlfriend loved Elvis.

[@guitarman2214]

@mccoofan According to IMDb, it originally aired September 14, 1985

[@justTrinidad]

@mccoofan around that time- close enough for me - great song regardless , lets just enjoy friends :)

[@JeremyRoberts]

Check out "You Know What I Mean," from September '85 on Solid Gold, featuring his full band & the Jordanaires on here. I honestly say they're different appearances. He's got on different clothes, & in 1985 Rick was wearing those distinctive ties, instead of the open shirt with Marilyn. One last thing: to me, Rick looks much better & healthier doing "You Know What I Mean" from '85. With Marilyn in '83, he seems more tired if you observe his face.

[@aubrey1008]

Where can we get a high definition video. Is it on DVD?

[@dawnupton8668]

What year was this?

[@donaldwarren463]

that was some chemistry - and a great song for both ..

[@ejgnandt]

The only Solid Gold appearence that I see for Nelson is September 14, 1985. This must be that show. He died in the plane crash only two and half months later.

[@johnmahoney3566]

He was good but she sings circles around him with her big octave range. Elvis with her would have been fantastic

[@travelinman617]

Rick was awsum what a great singer very shy to such a shame what happened to him and Marilyn also

[@travelinman617]

@Robert A. Lofgren Jr. I don't know you have to look it up google type in her name they will tell you

[@TheServantOfAllah99]

I believe the plane crash was in Jan 1985 ??

[@NDW85]

This must have been a year and a half or 2 years before Rick's tragic death in a plane crash.

[@myehhemy]

Ok lady whoever you are, shut up! Ricky could sing this song just fine by himself.

[@herasmarket]

would have been great if Leslie and him did this together -- would have been fantastic for sure. Marilyn is okay but doesn't have that special sound like Leslie!

[@sandawise79]

Him and elvis gone way to soon

[@kirbywaite1586]

I never could figure out his accent. It's regional but I can't place it.

[@newporter42]

The backing band could have done Glen Campbell's Gentle on My Mind with this same beat... and nothing wrong with that ...

[@gretscher]

I love this song, the original version he did. This version is pretty good but it's still kinda seems a bit hokey to me, but nice nevertheless.
