	Ricky Nelson Liner Notes \| Nov 1986
		Ricky lip-synched to the record on the Nelson family's weekly TV show and a few days later his name was in the top five for the first of many times.
		Ricky's first LP (entitled "Ricky"), released later in 1957, features a lot of great guitar from the ever fabulous Joe Maphis (on the Mosrite doubleneck) but otherwise, what with the weird tempos, goofy background vocals, and Ricky's own strange crooning and warbling, this record sounds completely unconvincing today.
		However, Ricky Nelson loved rock and roll, had a lot of talent, and must have decided around this time that singing was his true calling because by his second LP (entitled "Ricky Nelson") he had begun to transform himself into a fine rock and roller.

	When Ricky Nelson started rocking, the world took notice. A DVD captures the quintessential teen idol.
		Ricky's dad not only wrote, directed, produced and starred in his thriving family enterprise, he was a former Mickey Mouse dance bandleader -- and his wife Harriet, his former band singer -- who knew the ins and outs of the music business.
		His first move was to cut all of Ricky's musical numbers, one of the reasons these performances have not been seen since their original broadcasts.
		He was only a year older than Nelson, but his guitar playing -- and the prominent role it played in Nelson's music -- made him one of the three great stylists of early rock guitar.
