Poor Little Fool

Poor Little Fool

But there was another side to young Ricky Nelson. He discovered country music on radio and television broadcasts, and the first record he bought was by his favorite singer and great inspiration, Carl Perkins, While he grew up surrounded by jazz musicians -- his father had been a nationally prominent bandleader -- he recorded most of his biggest hits with a band headed by two youngsters from Shreveport, Louisiana.

It all came together in a recording and performing career that lasted until his unanticipated death in an airplane crash on the way from one show to another -- ironically emulating many of his predecessors and contemporaries, notably Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and J. A certain degree of Ricky later, 'Rick' Nelson's success could be credited to his weekly television exposure.

How, then, to explain his nineteen top hits in England? So how did this unprecedented and unduplicated combination of life and music occur? Elvis Presley was in the Army for a substantial portion of Ricky's Imperial years, but that's not only the sole answer, it isn't even the main answer.

Lorrie Collins, of The Collins Kids, ventures that "he was serious, not a flash in the pan like some of the TV stars who made records.

Rick had the talent and he had the longing; when you have that, the difference will shine through. And he had the best people in Hollywood back him up. John Fogerty, who claims Nelson as an early influence, says the answer is simple: Today, when Americans refer to living an 'Ozzie and Harriet' kind of life, they're speaking of a kind of idealized family: In the s, though, it seemed as though everybody in the United States knew Ozzie and Harriet Nelson, and their teenaged sons David and Ricky.

The family could be seen every week for fourteen years in a popular television situation comedy; playing themselves and using their real names. The Nelsons' TV house was a near-accurate reproduction of the family's real-life home, and their next-door neighbor, 'Thorny' Thornberry played by Don DeFore , was based on the Nelsons' real-life next-door neighbor, a fellow named Thornbury.

A popular joke of the day had it that nobody knew what Ozzie -- the TV character -- did for a living. As Ozzie Nelson points out in his autobiography, his seeming joblessness he seemed to be always around the house, often in search of a dish of tutti-frutti ice cream was a canard. We have always tried to keep the show honest Our scenes were almost always played as if it were a Saturday or Sunday I did occasionally go downtown to an office, but I never designated the kind of work that I did because by my not designating a specific job, people were able to identify with me more readily.

Well, musicians loved it.

The Nelson band's girl singer was a pert Iowan named Peggy Lou Snyder, raised in a theatrical family and appearing professionally as Harriet Hilliard. She debuted with Ozzie's band in June, ; her brief marriage to comic Roy Sedley was annulled in ; and she and Ozzie married on October 8, An advertising executive, aware of the Nelsons' chemistry as a couple as well as their talent, suggested that the two appear together on radio.

There was one condition: Ozzie wrote that he wasn't sure that he could support his band on radio salary alone. Poor Little Fool - Ricky Nelson.
