[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 278149, member: 7"] [JUSTIFY]I've been on an OZZIE & HARRIET kick here lately, and you can't talk about ma and pa without talking about their son Rick Nelson. He was sold as "Ricky" for a long time, a name he apparently detested. He hated being coupled with the likes of Fabian, and during the mid-to-late-'50s, Rick and Elvis were the only two Rock-N-Roll artists that performed solo in concert. For a while, Rick even had more Top 20 hits on the billboards than Elvis had (apparently during Elvis' army service). Rick had a lot of popular songs during his heyday. Two of my favorites are "Travelin' Man" and "Sweeter Than You". Good, old-fashioned, teen idol-type of songs. He made a splash on the big screen in RIO BRAVO (1959), one of the most popular Westerns of the decade. It starred John Wayne and Dean Martin.
