I remember the rumors when that happened. More proof that musicians should stay off of small planes. RIP to Ricky Nelson, Buddy Holly, Big Bopper, Ritchie Vallens, Alaia, the guys in Leonard Skynard, Patsy Cline, Stevie Ray Vaughn...

Actually, Rick's private plans was not very small. It was a DC3, or in it's Military designation, a C-47. A DC 3 can seat up to approx. 40 to 50 passengers.

I dont think a man can get anymore handsome than this chap.

It wasn’t fair! Absolutely beautiful.

Extremely talented and very humble

Ricky Nelson's death was very sad. I knew the rest of his family because his parents bought the (Laura) Scudder estate on Victoria Beach in Laguna Beach close to where I lived, swam and played volleyball. His brother bought a home very close by, a little south, in the small private community of Lagunita. What a wonderful family. Very modest and friendly. O.J. Simpson and his wife lived just two homes south of the Nelsons, right on the sand at Victoria Beach.

I remember the investigation on how the plane caught fire. The plane was a DC-3 with a magnesium tail section. During WWII, they were running out of aluminum and used magnesium for a few planes. The heater in the back of the plane caught fire. When it landed, Ricky made sure that everybody got out of the plane. He died of smoke inhalation.

No. All passengers aboard died of burns and smoke inhalation. Only the pilots survived. They yelled into the cabin but there was no response. Nelson didn't save anyone.

Check out his greatest hits collection. If you like great rock and roll from the early days, you’ll be pleasantly surprised. He recorded some of the best rockers of the era, but didn’t get a whole lot of credit in his day because a lot of people back then said he sounded like and copied Elvis, even though Eddie Cochran was more Elvis-like. Ricky had a better band than Elvis too. Totally underrated.

Interesting that a wholesome show was long running. Wouldn't even get a look at today. That's the morals of today. 3rd world country here we come.

I no his very first single at the 1/2 price record store celebrating the end of the year and it was on Imperial records with a beautiful picture sleeve with the billing "Ricky Nelson" which he later shortened to "Rick" . The record store in Vancouver was called Collectors R.P.M. run by an Englishman named Jeff who also leased the room where the Beatles had their pillow cases and sheets cut into little squares and sold on a piece of paper in 64 either New York or possibly Washington . Collectors R.P.M. were known for its pretty decent Beatles museum and smaller Kiss museum. He was also the store that bought my at least $80.000 record photo memorabilia collection off of a family member who was supposed to be storing it for me after my bitter divorce. He got $600 dollars for a couple of 8 balls of cocaine to support his habit. No Doubt that my extensive çollection would be Near half a million every pressing picture sleeve and promo you can imagine. I was greedy and it was my main drug
