[@naomiruthlowe7902]

Yes😂 The very first album I bought was Ricky Nelson I don't remember what songs were on it, even though I listened to it all of the time. There was a handsome portrait on the cover. Ricky with those beautiful blue eyes. So good looking. I knew he was married to Kristen. I loved her too. I wonder how many people watched the movie, Love and Kisses. It was a sweet story about Ricky and Kristen and their getting married when they were very young. Crazy kids, but they knew they were in love 🥰💕❤️🌹🥀🎶🎤🎼🎹🎸🎸🎸🎸🎤🎤🎼🎼🥁

So good to hear Ric Nelson's boys singing his songs. My friends and I were always so crazy about their Dad and I hope they have the copyright to these songs. I heard his Dad's voice on a TV commercial and in a few days it was the same song with a girl singing the lyrics. I wasn't pleased to hear his voice used with no credit and I'm hoping it was his family that stopped it. Ric's voice was always one of a kind.

You should see and hear their own songs from the late 80's and early 90's on KZbin like "Can't Live Without Your Love". They are incredibly talented musicians and blend perfectly together. I'm glad they do shows remembering their dad, but I love the music they wrote and performed in the 80's and 90's. IMO they don't give enough credit to themselves for their own music.

[@Coalgirl100]

When I was ten I stood in Ricky Nelson's parking space and then my heart skipped a beat. Coming towards us was David Nelson.

[@dennismccunney4462]

Oh, this is just a tickle. I was aware of Ricky Nelson, and that he was Ozzie Nelson's son. I'm an Old Fart, and dimly recall the Ozzie and Harriet TV show, about a dad, mom, and their teenage sons, Ricky and David. I'm interested in pop music history, and it was only recently I learned that before having a TV show, Ozzie was a swing band leader in the 40's, along with people like Glenn Miller, Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, and Benny Goodman, and that Harriet had been his singer. He wound up the band, married Harriet, and they produced kids. (My dad loved Big Band swing and played sax, so grewI up on a musical diet of Big Band swing courtesy of my dad and classical musing courtesy of my mom. I still love both.) TIL that Ricky had twin sons who followed in their dad's footsteps and are really good. There's another video on KZbin of Matthew and Gunnar in the studio cutting tracks with James Burton, with Gunnar doing tasty drumming and Matthew playing acoustic guitar and nice electric bass, and Gunnar saying "I'm here in the studio with _James Burton_ playing lead guitar!" He clearly understood just what that meant. Burton was delighted. He thought they were great kids as well as good musicians, and he was happy to be passing the torch and helping a new generation of Nelsons take the next step. They told him stories about Ricky as their dad, and he told them stories about being on tour with Ricky as his guitarist. This is how the torch gets passed. Matthew and Gunnar singing and playing acoustic guitars immediately put me in mind of the Everly Brothers, who were from another musical family. (The Everly's Roots LP has been on my top ten list since it came out). Now I get to find out what else Metthew and Gunman have done. I agree with the other comments = their father _and_ their grandfather would be proud of them. Tjhere's an enormous amount of absolute shite posted to KZbin, but discovering stuff like this makes it worth visiting.

[@perpetual61]

Songs Are: 1. Travelin Man 2. Hello Mary Lou 3. It's Late 4. Garden Party

[@joegongora2200]

Of course there were more songs. But anything that Rick would record were certainly going to be good songs. He only picked, wrote, and recorded good songs. I remember in December of 1985 when I was moving into a new apartment, hearing a bulletin on TV that Rick Nelson died in a plane crash. A very sad day but his music will always live on.

When their dad ( Rick Nelson ) was still around, he lived up the street from me in the Hollywood Hills overlooking the San Fernando Valley. Me and my brothers talked to him once and we told of tales of wild parties that used to happen at his place when legendary actor Earl Flynn lived there. “I have no intention of doing anything like that...” He remarked. And he didn’t-he was one of our more ‘quieter’ neighbors...

They actually sound NOTHING like Rick. Singing his songs doesn't mean they sound like him. I go waaay back with the Nelsons, first on radio and later, on TV. Rick was rarely happy; he was actually quite shy. Just look at his facial expressions while performing. His wife wanted him to quit music and stick only with acting ...all the while living so extravagantly that it was impossible for Rick to quit touring. These kids, like the late Natalie Cole and her uncle Freddy Cole (also deceased) sicken me with the way they cashed in on Rick Nelson's and Nat King Cole's amazing vocals and piano playing.
