Those were great years to grow up. My husband was an Elvis fan, but he was 3 years older than me. Ricky was the one I idolized and I still have a couple of his albums. I'd stare at those eyes on the covers. A beautiful person, I always thought.

The most infuriating part about the rags claiming that drugs caused the crash that killed Mr. Nelson is that not only was it the bad heater but, as per the autopsy , the very last act he did was to use his own body to attempt to shield his doomed fiancee Helen Blair from burning to death. Yes, he died a HERO and yet this barely got any mention!

I attended a Rick Nelson concert in the early 1980s, and got to meet him. Rick was a very nice, polite, and humble guy. I grew up watching him on his family's t.v. show back in the 1950s and 1960s, so it was great to see him in person. He and Elvis were two of the best entertainers and also two of the best looking guys of all time. My 9 year-old grandson has been watching reruns of Ricky's old t.v. show. He enjoys it, and thinks young teenage Ricky was funny. I told him we teenagers back in the day watched the show just to look at Rick's hair, and listen to him sing of course. LOL!! My favorite Rick Nelson song has always been: "Traveling Man". His dad, Ozzie, is credited with the first ever 'rock music video' because he put together some film clips as a backdrop for the song.

How could anyone ever boo Ricky? Even Bob Dylan said that he wished he could sing like Ricky Nelson because Ricky just walked up to the microphone and out came his beautiful voice and music. My mother used to sing along with him, to the vinyl albums we had. I learned to play rythm guitar playing along to his music.

Great video and what a sad ending. Glad the video made it pretty clear that the crash wasn't about free basing, just a faulty heater in the plane. Impressed with his kids, particularly his daughter who stuck with him. I was in high school while Rick was making the hits (grad 1958). I remember the girls loving him. As I remember it, there were only two factions - either they loved Elvis or they loved Ricky. Nobody else but them - to paraphrase a line in one of his songs.

On Christmas Eve 1958 I was 11 years old. My cousin played Ricky's hit "Lonesome Town" on his parents' hi fi. I was instantly hooked on Rick's music I had to hear more! This video is a wonderful tribute..

Ricky and Randy Meisner together were just to awesome for words. I never got to meet Ricky, but I met Randy several times and I cannot say enough wonderful things about him.

I always enjoyed Ricky singing at the conclusion of "The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet." television program. His songs were catchy and his talent was unmistakable. (In his autobiography, Bob Dylan stated how much he loved Ricky's singing voice...). I caught Rick's final show at the Universal Amphitheater, opening for the great Fats Domino in 1985, and was treated to their duet of "I'm Walkin'...! Years later I saw his sons' show of a tribute to their dad, doing his hits with a band that included Skunk Baxter of Doobie Brothers fame on the steel guitar. Quite a time! Thanks for the music... RIP, Rick Nelson.

The absolute best! Been a fan since 1957 when he was still “ Ricky”. His music never gets old for me.

I grew up watching your TV shows listening to your music you're right up there with Elvis Presley you are surely missed

Growing up (3 years younger than Ricky), I was "in love with him". We used to watch the wise cracking kid on TV, & then he became a singer. I'd cut out all pictures I could find & filled a big scrapbook. At 17 I went off to Nursing School living in a dorm. I came home once to find my mother had cleaned out my closet & threw my scrapbook away. Shocked & "pissed off". In earl 80's I had the great excitement & pleasure to see Rick live, front row left at John Asquagas Nugget in Sparks, Nevada . Still loved him.

I loved watching the Ozzie and Harriet show ❤. Rick Nelson was really a great singer and actor. Loved his songs.This truly was a tragedy and ❤breaking.

Had Eric Hilliard Nelson aka Ricky Nelson aka Rick Nelson survived that tragic plane crash on that fateful day of December 31, 1985, he'd be 83 on the 8th of May A.D. 2023. This wonderful musician, song writer and actor died much to young at the age of 45. 😔 I remember where I was and what I was doing on that fateful day. How about you? 🤔

Today is a sad day. A day like this that fateful plane crash put the coffin's nail in the 50s music. Remember that day well.

Rick Nelson was wonderful. I enjoyed him so much when I was growing up. Such a sad loss for us.

Just saw the story of Rick Nelson. Watched him grow up on his parents TV show which I enjoyed very much. I became a fan of Rick's music. As time went on I became a professional drummer and started a rock band of my own. Before his tragic I had contacted his manager to set up an audition to be part of the band. I had always wanted to meet Rick in person and play for him. I met his twin boys at a concert and told them that I was going to audition for the band. I'm so glad I got to meet the twins. Rick was a class act and very sincere about his music and his life. The Nelson family was as nice off camera as they were on. Such a special family and very talented. I think about Rick a lot especially when I hear his music. They also use his music in commercials. The music today cannot compare with the music from that time period. It was a very special person and made very special music which is the background sound to our lives. We miss you Rick in so many ways. God bless you forever. 🙏

Myself being born in 57. As a young boy growing up watching him on the TV series. With my older brother and two older sisters. It was the coolest thing to watch him sing. And thinking he was first and foremost a musical entertainer. Second to the TV show. I always thought his mom and dad made him be in the family show. I don't know about anyone else but. I wished I could sing and be that good looking growing up. What a beautiful man. And you can see it runs in the family. Cherish you all 💞

Great documentary! Thank you.

He was also Mark Harmon's brother-in-law. And Mark had a lot of good things to say about him. And his daughter looks so much like her mom. With some resemblance I've heard that as well. When I was younger I was watched the Ozzie and Harriet TV show oh, and loved it. Even though I didn't see it until sometime in the mid-60s. I was Ricky Nelson fan then, and still am just like a fan I'm a fan of Elvis

Really enjoyed this about Ricky. Enjoyed watching him on television and loved his music.

I still watch The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet shows. I can see that had he lived, Rick might easily have been seen on talent contest shows like American Idol, The Voice, etc. What a tragic loss of such a great human being and what he gave to us in his music. Love you pal.

I was wild about Rick Nelson. Teen fan. ♥️♥️♥️

I saw Ricky Nelson in a film clip in 1958 or 59..great singing style, laid-back approach seemed so natural, effortless..plus he had this really great guitar..took me years to afford one, but l have one now, and sing his songs..what a tragic end to such a talent, who inspired me.

The song goes, "If there's a rock n roll heaven, then you know they have a hell of a band."

I can remember when I was a kid my brothers and sisters had all of his music . I am sitting watching this today and I honestly didn’t realise he was so gorgeous. So tragic he passed so young. RIP 🙏

This is a really good documentary that allowed me to get to know Ricky a little bit. Being born in 1956, I was a little behind but I was quite familiar with many of his early hits. I guess I was a wee bit surprised that I didn't hear anything of my favourite song of his which is Young World. To me, that song unfolds the magic and beauty of what it was like to be alive in the late 50s and early 60s. He seemed to be a fairly normal person with the troubles that all of us face at some time in our lives. I'll have to look into his music a bit more. Thank you for providing this video.

Ricky Nelson is so underrated:(

I always forget how much I love Ricky. But then I hear his voice and I fall in love all over again.

Being born in '53 I wasn't able to enjoy the great music of the 50's & very early 60's until I was a little older. For all the great music the "British Invasion" brought us,it pretty much killed rock n roll as people knew it. Now at 70,I still enjoy listening to all of it,no matter where the musicians are from! There's certain dates that always stay with you. The plane crash that took Rick & the others,are one for me. Just like Patsy Cline & the rest. What an awful thing to happen on your 10th birthday! I think I'll say goodbye now & go listen to some of Rick's great music. ❤

I’m old enough to remember hearing Rick’s music in real time on the radio & I picked his music over Elvis’ music every time. I don’t know why he wasn’t bigger than Elvis.

I saw him in concert in a small club in Texas. A friend and I moved and sat right below him. A great concert of one of my favorite artists. Sadly he was in that wreck not too long after I saw him.❤❤

I saw Rick Nelson in Phoenix in 1982, my god he was handsome! Those blue eyes were mesmerizing!

One of my favorite singers of all time

Every time I even think of his song, “ Garden Party”, it breaks my heart and yes, I do shed a tear. 😢

I love Rick Nelson and still love his music today ❤.

Thanks for sharing this doc., Earl. what a great thing...being able to hear what his kids had to say about him...let alone the rest of his family. I loved his music and remember being at our beachhouse when I heard of his death. I just couldn't stop crying. I had so wished I could've gone to one of his concerts when he was young, but for such a wish, I'd probably not be alive today. Alas, Ricky Nelson was one of the best parts of the 1950's. Sadly, many more of my idols would fall in the 1970's/'80's. The one thing that stands out-at any age-is how quickly we face our own mortality when we lose people we care about. Ya, it was worse when I lost my folks, but still. Anyway, thanks to such singers as Rick, I tried my own hand at songwriting and had a lot of fun for about 10 years. Eventually, reality catches up to all of us! rl

Ricky's plane -- a World War II vintage DC 3 -- crashed in a De Kalb, Texas pasture on Dec. 31, 1985, killing all seven passengers. The section of the plane is at the Williams House Museum in Dekalb is most definitely from the plane that Nelson crashed in and was given to the museum by the Nelson family. There is also a very nice exhibit inside the museum pertaining to Ricky and the crash including news coverage from the night he died. My ex son-in-law was born in Dekalb Texas and was one of the first to the crash site the night the plane wreck happened. Ricky was 3 weeks older then I am so I watched all the Nelsons a lot on TV when I was young. A great great thorough video that I enjoyed very much! Ricky was one of the great ones!

KZread pulled the other video of this just when it was about to hit one million views.

Every time I watch these Ricky Nelson documentaries, and seeing how he kept coming back, coming back... I feel if he would not have died so young, he would have made the biggest comeback of his career, solving all his money problems. What a shame when the good guys go too soon. His poor his, feel bad for them losing their Dad, they were so proud of him. And he loved them so much. RIP Ricky. We will always remember you and and play your music forever. ❤❤

Love Ricky ahead into 2023.

He was a phenom talent in every way. His resilience is a great example of heroic endurance.

Ricky Nelson would have been a great Traveling Wilbury

Ricky used drugs but only recreational purposes.

It seems like, despite valiant efforts by Rick to be taken seriously as a songwriter and singer, the image that remains to this day is Ricky Nelson, teen idol, cute kid on a family sitcom. I know he's not the only actor or singer to have battled this. Some people could never see Michael Nesmith as anything other than the guy wearing the wool hat on "The Monkees" tv show. There are probably people who wished the Beatles had just sung "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" forever. I suppose those fans at Madison Square Garden in 1971 expected to see crewcut little Ricky Nelson singing "Be Bop Baby" with Ozzie playing banjo beside him and Harriet offering cookies to the crowd. RIP Rick, you were much better than that.

About that plane crash, one of the accidents that always happen when you least expect it. fire broke out and they crashed. couldn't have got in a plane where they wouldn't have crashed. like they didn't everybody would have lived. he might be missed on Earth but he is in heaven. let him rest in peace. but his music will carry on for other Generations/ sorry for your loss. you children and ex-wife and the people that he was around, he still loved his family no matter what. God has blessed him; we need to let him rest in peace . he also loved his father, mother, and brother, it was his father who brought him to more of his music. I know he was lost without him. When Ricky died he leaving his children and ex-wife. but he also left his mother and his brother who cared a lot about him too thank you Ricky Nelson For the Good Times of your music and your acting career amen; thank you all; God bless

Jesus told Nicodemus ''You must be born again to enter heaven'', nothing about being a good person gets you there, Elvis was saved, I don't know about Ricky.

Nicodemus asked Jesus must I enter into my mother's womb a 2'nd time? but Jesus meant spiritually reborn.

It is a DAMN SHAME the stories about freebasing because I really believed them. Now that I have seen the pilot audio, the age of the plane, the crash scene I know that was total BS.

We've followed James Burton for many years. We always had fun watching for new bands that got James for guitarist. He was the best then and still is the best at 84 years living in his native Louisiana. What a fantastic career he's had. Thanks for t❤he memories.

Rick Nelson was a True Force in American Popular Music.. Period.. Rest in Power My Most Awesome Musical Big Brotha ❤️❤️

My idol since I first heard him .... took up the guitar because of him. Will always miss you Rick

We were fortunate to see one of his last concerts

So sad, the day he died.

The best enterteiner a fantastic singer for my all time, l love a his all your songs a music, thank you Ricky, remember ❤️💖💖❤️

He was such a Tremendous Entertainer !!! He came from a talented family. And left Us, way too soon 😢 !!!! 😇🙏❤

He seemed like a genuine person, my favourite was Teen Angel but I enjoyed all of his recordings, unite a loss to the music world 💖😞

Traveling man was one of my favorites.

I always loved him and still love his songs.

Couldn't wait till the end of the Ozzie & Harriet TV Show to see Rick...HIs song, "Traveling Man," beat out my song." My Dream," on Murray the K's Best Record Contest in 1961. Sad but glad it was Rick's tune that beat out mine. Heard the news of his plane crash on the way to my New Year's Eve gig... It was a sad New Year's Eve...RIP Rick

Nice tribute. He was incredibly good-looking but very talented too. He will always be missed.

Fantastic! Great playlist!

I met him once at a concert he did at Knott's Berry Farm. He was very talented and kept creating until the end. Next to Elvis there was Rick. Such a handsome man but he seemed somewhat sad to me. I believe he was not happy with himself. Incidentally, he wasn't conceited either.

Agree

One of the greatest. I was always a fan and still am.

So great to see Ricky Nelson Again...he was and is a top. Flight Rocker...Long Live Rick Nelson and his great Music Life can be Cruel..the good die young. Hail Hail Rock and Roll......

This was the biggest question the years that Ricky Nelson was a music star. Why when he went to the top, didn't he stay there? It was hard to watch as he was beautiful to look at and easy to listen to. I would mourn the loss of his appearances as I absolutely adored him! I have to this day missed him and I always will. R.I.P. my beloved Rick. And God bless you forever! I will never forget you.

the beatles came in 1964 bringing other english bands changing what we listened to here in usa is why. it was terrible that rick's children and ex-wife had to hear on the RADIO about his death vs. being NOTIFIED by officials PRIOR to airing it live in nye 1979!! i'm glad that has changed now since this occurred. so that was the only positive that i see that happened for the better that ALL IMMEDIATE FAMILY BE NOTIFIED FIRST before it's aired on tv, radio, and newspapers. to the NELSON family, i'm so sorry you had to learn of your dad's death this way; unacceptable. it was the same in feb. 1958 when buddy holly's plane with him, big bopper, ritchie valenz, the pilot died leaving clear lake, iowa. they heard of it on tv/radio too!! i loved rick's music having grown up with ozzie, harriett, dave, & ricky. he was so handsome and smooth, easy-going soloist. betty gordon, ames, iowa lifelong fan
