Ricky Nelson was a child prodigy born into a showbiz family. His father, Ozzie, was a bandleader and his mother, Harriet, was a singer. He gained fame through the TV show "The Adventures Of Ozzie & Harriet" where he appeared alongside his brother David. Nelson had an impressive music career as a 'Teenage Idol' in the late 1950s and early 1960s, earning nine gold records by the age of 21. His hit single "Travelin' Man" sold over 2 million copies and reached #1 in 32 countries.

In addition to his musical success, Nelson married Kristin Harmon in 1963 and they had four children together. Despite their later divorce, Nelson's career continued to thrive with hits like "Garden Party," which went gold and won him a Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Recording in 1986.

Tragically, on New Year's Eve in 1985, Nelson's plane crash-landed near DeKalb, Texas resulting in his death. He was posthumously inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987 and is buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park alongside his parents.

The original rich kid Rock 'n' Roll star, Ricky Nelson was just about America's most famous teenager in the 1950s, having grown up in public on his Mom &amp; Pop's TV sitcom, The Adventures of Ozzie &amp; Harriet. When he burst onto the US charts in the spring of 1957 with his first record, 'I'm Walkin' b/w 'A Teenager's Romance', nobody could have envisaged that his singing career would ultimately eclipse his role in the TV series. Propelled by plugs in Ozzie &amp; Harriet, his first nine singles were million-sellers. Indeed, in the United States during the late 50s, he was second in popularity only to Elvis.

This 34-track compilation features all of Ricky's 33 US hits between 1957-62, most notably 'Be Bop Baby', 'Stood Up', 'Believe What You Say', 'Poor Little Fool', 'Lonesome Town', 'Never Be Anyone Else But You', 'Just A Little Too Much', 'Travelin' Man', 'Hello Mary Lou', 'Teenage Idol', 'It's Up To You', etc. Also includes his UK Top 10 hit 'Someday', which was never issued as a 45 in the US.
