Two For Tuesday : Ricky Nelson Edition

Photobucket

I've always been a huge fan of Ricky Nelson. He of course was featured on the 1950's show Ozzie & Harriette, becoming a huge teen idol in the process. He's also responsible for penning a plethora of top 40 hits before his music career faded in the late 1960's. After experiencing somewhat of a renaissance, Ricky tragically perished in an airplane crash, leaving behind a daughter & twin sons who would go on to form the powerhouse group "Nelson".

Favorite lyric of his? "Can't please everyone - so ya gotta please yourself".
