Guest deleted_19765 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 As far as I'm concerned, Ricky Nelson is a Rock and Roll legend. Sure, he was Hollywood. But he did it as good as anyone and in his own style. Just a few from Ricky there."He sang his songs calm and steady, like he was in the middle of a storm, men hurling past him. His voice was sort of mysterious and made you fall into a certain mood."-Bob Dylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) Filled the void between Elvis and the Beatles, you could say him singing on Ozzie and Harriet were the music videos of the day, a lot of guitarists learned how to play along to his singles and learned the name James Burton. You kind of have to mention Burton & Nelson together. Somewhat overlooked in rock history, but undeniably important.
