Rick Nelson Presents an American Music Award 1978

[@cynthiaennis3107]

Rick so lights up when he mentioned both The Eagles & Announcing Fleetwood Mac as the winners! I had read he played a bit of guitar in the making of the Hotel California album, uncredited! As he wrote in his song, ‘Gypsy Pilot,’ “he loved everybody...” ♥️

Thanks, it's great to see Rick on that stage presenting an award.

So grateful to the Ricky Nelson, Nancy Wilson or Fleetwood Mac fan who posted this. Happen to like all three and I adore Miss Nancy Wilson.

Both are resting in power! Ricky and Nancy both

[@cynthiaennis3107]

[@cynthiaennis3107]

Aha ha! Loved it! I just found out Rick played guitar on Hotel California, non-credited, though! Cool to know that!

[@TruthSerum101]

Nancy Wilson is stunning.

Rick Nelson had alot of class... it was obvious. 😏

[@karenleemallonee684]

I remember watching this, I was happy to see my favorite Rick Nelson & bummed because I wanted the Eagles to win!

[@cynthiaennis3107]

He played guitar on Hotel California uncredited! 😊 I just found out from another commenter who knew a band member of the Eagles!

[@karenleemallonee684]

@@cynthiaennis3107 That is so cool, such an awesome, iconic song! Thank you for sharing this bit of gold!!! 👍👍

[@trudywolfe2795]

❤️❤️❤️❤️ Rick.

Long lines in ‘77 to see Star Wars! Fond memories!

@missohio83 It's taken a lot of time and searching to find them. And I thought for sure The Eagles would have won, as well!

[@cynthiaennis3107]

Me too.

[@missohio83]

We're do you find all this stuff on him??? I wish I could have all these Rick videos...I would never be bored! I thought for sure The Eagles were gonna win that award, I know Hotel California was huge lol! =)

[@cynthiaennis3107]

A commenter elsewhere told a story that Rick actually played guitar on that album, but uncredited so it would remain just The Eagles! 😊 I thought that was pretty cool & sounds like something he’d do, knowing some in the band...I’m sure he knew them all!

[@jesmelric]

@omarskats3000 Well, I don't quite have everything, but I do have a lot :)

[@cynthiaennis3107]

RICK COULD OF GONE ON TO DO SO MUCH MORE , BAD MANAGEMENT. TRAGIC LOSS RIP.

[@cynthiaennis3107]

He had sooo many things he was going to do! He was making another comeback! And it would’ve been a big one! Carl Perkins told Rick he’d open for him in September 1985! He & John Fogerty were hoping to get together to do something, another album was to be released, but never was, he had offers for acting & there was talk about a new series or 2, and not the ones that didn’t make it! He was gonna take time off to be with family & watch his sons at their concerts! I’m sure there was more, but I’m glad he got to be part of Class of ‘55 at Sun Records with his idol, Carl Perkins, John Fogerty & the great bunch of them! ♥️

Would be better without the time code.
