When I was invited to appear on the show, the producers specifically told my Mom to "dress me down"- I would have worn something else if I knew I was going to meet Rick Nelson! We sat together back stage and chatted - he was a gentleman and I felt very comfortable talking to him.

Rick ("Ricky") Nelson was just nineteen here and signed in as "Rick Nelson." WML identified him as "Ricky" (to the home audience) and he was referred to, by the panel, as "Ricky." He was very understandably trying to get away from his childhood moniker. It did take some time, but his fans (for the most part) would eventually know him as "Rick Nelson." By any name, he was certainly a talented musician and certainly inherited the classy grace of his sweet mother, Harriet. Bless his heart!

I was married to Rick’s cousin Willy (not the country singer). Willy managed Ricks career from 1970-1977. They were very close. The family was lovely and warm and I loved them all. They were all authentic and caring people. Our holidays were always celebrated together across all generations and the children were always welcome at these gatherings. I was an only child who thrived in this large family. The celebrations included Willys 2 brothers and their children, my family with our children, Ozzie & Harriet’s long time friends (some of whom went back as far as vaudeville), and kids who grew up acting on the show and became part of the family. I was blessed to have them all. They were as nice as they appeared to be.

We were fortunate to sit at a table only a couple of feet from the low stage where he sang. I remember looking down at the stage and noticed he was wearing silver shoes with higher heels. Jennifer Warnes was at that time a "new" singer and came on just before Ricky. I can't tell you how great both of those performers were.

While Elvis was in the army, Ricky Nelson became the teenage pop idol. He showed promise as an actor in the film ‘Rio Bravo’ but for some strange reason his film career stalled. Ricky should have been given more film opportunities, but sadly it didn’t happen. He carried on making hit records until the mid 60’s, but like so many solo artists was elbowed out of the limelight with the advent of British pop groups, Motown & the new wave folk music, popularised by the likes of Bob Dylan. It was tragic that his singing career ended with his death in a plane crash. RIP Ricky.

Rick wanted to sing and did not want to act. This is well known, he was a good actor and really a beautiful human. It was his choice to concentrate on his music. I wish that he had done more movies. Love him ! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

If you follow this show chronologically it's almost like a history lesson. Fifties rock and roll stars, test pilots, astronauts, famous athletes, .anti' Castro rebels, Sixties British invasion stars, famous movie and TV stars and Directors etc. etc. My favorite was Eva Marie Saint saying she off to film some movie called North By Northwest.

Sadly, Rick Nelson died at age 45 in a plane crash. So many singers died that way, including Buddy Holly, Richy Valens, The Big Bopper, Patsy Cline, Otis Redding, John Denver, Jim Croce, Lynyrd Skynyrd, etc. The touring lifestyle makes that much more likely than it is for the average person. I don't envy recording artists -- I just saw a list online -- a very long list -- of recording artists who died unnatural deaths. There were 2 or 3 who were electrocuted by their guitars.
@m.e.d.79975 жыл бұрын
I know they found cocaine and maybe other drugs when they died on them. Not unusual in the music biz but not sure if it was pilot error or not. It was sad. Rick was with his girlfriend. Always seemed very nice.

Unfortunately the training required for pilots was very different back in the day. My father in law owned a plane after world war 2 just because he could buy it. He flew goods until he had to set the plane down in a field with his wife and kids on board in a storm. The next week she insisted he get a new job.

Ozzie could be very hard on the boys on the set, it is said, but what he did in building the radio and then the T.V. show was remarkable. Bringing David and Rick on to replace actors portraying them proved a stroke of decision. Likewise, Rick's enormous recording career ignited from the start because of Ozzie's great artistic and business sense.

Although 4 years ago I would like to add something. Many Rock historians consider Ricky Nelsons song "Traveling Man"... "as it was shown on the TV show Ozzie & Harriet" to be the first "Rock Video".....(although nobody realized it at the time.) In parts of the song (as shown on the TV show) there are double exposures of Ricky and various parts of the world with various exotic young females.....syncing the song to the various places a "Traveling Man" would go.
