Ricky Nelson grew up on radio, TV, and concert stages. His father was a big band leader and crooner and his mother was a vocalist too. He certainly had s singer’s DNA.
As a young man still doing his family’s show, THE ADVENTURES OF OZZIE AND HARIET, and recording his hit songs, there was perhaps no male artist more handsome than he, not even Elvis.
He does have that Elvis ‘pout” LOL!
Just realized how good he was. The thread is about all the great artists who perished in plane crashes, too young, too soon.

Ozzie Nelson was also a graduate of Yale law school. Ricky Nelson was talented unlike some of the boy bands like Dino, Desi and Billy.
