Musical creative person

Eric Hilliard Nelson (May 8, 1940 – December 31, 1985), known professionally every bit Ricky Nelson and afterwards his 21st birthday in 1961 every bit Rick Nelson, was an American musician, songwriter and actor. From age eight he starred alongside his family in the radio and television series The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. In 1957, he began a long and successful career equally a popular recording artist. The expression "teen idol" was first coined to draw Nelson, and his fame as both a recording artist and goggle box star also led to a motion motion picture office co-starring alongside John Wayne, Dean Martin and Angie Dickinson in Howard Hawks's western characteristic film Rio Bravo (1959). He placed 53 songs on the Billboard Hot 100, and its predecessors, betwixt 1957 and 1973, including "Poor Little Fool" in 1958, which was the first number i song on Billboard magazine's and so-newly created Hot 100 chart. He recorded xix additional top 10 hits and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on January 21, 1987.^{[i] [2]} In 1996 Nelson was ranked No. 49 on Tv set Guide's l Greatest TV Stars of All Time.^[three]

Nelson began his entertainment career in 1949, playing himself in the radio sitcom series, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. In 1952, he appeared in his beginning characteristic movie, Here Come up the Nelsons. In 1957, he recorded his showtime single ("Im Walkin' b/w "A Teenagers Romance", Verve 10047X4S), debuted as a singer on the idiot box version of the sitcom, and released the No. 1 album titled Ricky. In 1958, Nelson released his first #1 single, "Poor Little Fool", and in 1959 received a Golden World nomination for "Most Promising Male person Newcomer" after starring in Rio Bravo. A few films followed, and when the television set serial was cancelled in 1966, Nelson made occasional appearances as a guest star on various tv set programs. In his twenties, he moved away from the popular music of his youth, and began to perform in a more country stone style. After recording several albums with more often than not session musicians, most of which flopped, he formed the Rock Canyon Band in 1969 and experienced a career resurgence, buoyed past the live album In Concert at the Troubadour, 1969 and had a surprise hit with 1972'south "Garden Party", which peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100. His comeback was brusk-lived, however, as his record label was bought out and folded, and his followup albums were not well promoted by his new characterization. He continued to perform live and take minor television roles through the 1970s, though his label dropped him by the end of the decade. He released two more than albums, with unimpressive results, before his death in a airplane crash on New Year's Eve, 1985.

Nelson was married once, to Sharon Kristin Harmon, from 1963 until their divorce in 1982. They had four children: actress Tracy Nelson, twin sons and musicians Gunnar and Matthew, and actor Sam.

Early life [edit]

Nelson was born on May 8, 1940, in Teaneck, New Jersey.^{[iv] [5] [half-dozen]} He was the 2nd son of entertainment couple Harriet Hilliard Nelson (born Peggy Lou Snyder; July xviii, 1909 – Oct 2, 1994) and Ozzie Nelson (March 20, 1906 – June 3, 1975). His father Ozzie was of one-half Swedish descent. The Nelsons' older son was actor David Nelson (October 24, 1936 – Jan xi, 2011).

Harriet, commonly the vocaliser for Ozzie's band, remained in Englewood, New Jersey, with her newborn and toddler. Meanwhile, bandleader Ozzie toured with the Nelson orchestra.^[seven] The Nelsons bought a two-story colonial house in Tenafly, New Jersey,^{[vii] [8] [9]} and 6 months after the purchase, moved with son David to Hollywood, where Ozzie and Harriet were slated to appear in the 1941–42 flavor of Red Skelton'due south The Raleigh Cigarette Hour; Ricky remained in Tenafly in the care of his paternal grandmother.^[10] In November 1941, the Nelsons bought what would become their permanent home: a green and white, two-story, Greatcoat Cod colonial home at 1822 Camino Palmero in Los Angeles.^{[xi] [8]} Ricky joined his parents and brother in Los Angeles in 1942.^[11]

Ricky was a small and insecure child who suffered from severe asthma. At dark, his sleep was eased with a vaporizer emitting tincture of evergreen.^[12] He was described by Red Skelton'south producer John Guedel as "an odd piffling child", likable, shy, introspective, mysterious, and inscrutable.^[xiii] When Skelton was drafted in 1944, Guedel crafted the radio sitcom The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet for Ricky's parents.^{[13] [14]} The show debuted on Sun, October 8, 1944, to favorable reviews.^{[fifteen] [16]} Ozzie eventually became head author for the show and based episodes on the fraternal exploits and enmity of his sons.^[17] The Nelson boys were first played in the radio series past professional child actors until twelve-twelvemonth-old Dave and eight-year-old Ricky joined the show on February 20, 1949, in the episode "Invitation to Dinner".^{[18] [19]}

In 1952, the Nelsons tested the waters for a telly series with the theatrically released film Hither Come up the Nelsons. The film was a hit, and Ozzie was convinced the family could make the transition from radio's airwaves to television'south small-scale screen. On October 3, 1952, The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet made its television debut and was broadcast in first run until September 3, 1966, to become one of the longest running sitcoms in television history.

Education [edit]

Nelson attended Gardner Street Public Schoolhouse,^[twenty] Bancroft Junior Loftier,^[21] and, betwixt 1954 and 1958, Hollywood High School, from which he graduated with a B average.^{[22] [23]} He played football at Hollywood High^{[22] [23]} and represented the school in interscholastic tennis matches.^[24] 20-five years later, Nelson told the Los Angeles Weekly he hated school because it "smelled of pencils" and he was forced to rise early in the morning to attend.^[22]

Ozzie Nelson was a Rutgers alumnus and peachy on college education,^[25] but eighteen-year-old Ricky was already in the 93 per centum income-tax bracket and saw no reason to nourish.^[23] At age 13, Ricky was making over $100,000 per annum, and at xvi he had a personal fortune of $500,000.^[26] (equivalent to $4,777,904.41 in 2022 dollar value).

Nelson's wealth was astutely managed by his parents, who channeled his earnings into trust funds. Although his parents permitted him a $l allowance at the age of xviii, Rick was often strapped for cash and one evening nerveless and redeemed empty pop bottles to gain entrance to a movie theater for himself and a appointment.^[27]

Music career [edit]

Debut [edit]

Nelson played clarinet and drums in his tweens and early on teens, learned the rudimentary guitar chords, and vocally imitated his favorite Lord's day Records rockabilly artists in the bathroom at habitation or in the showers at the Los Angeles Tennis Club.^{[28] [29] [thirty]} He was strongly influenced by the music of Carl Perkins and once said he tried to emulate the sound and the tone of the guitar break in Perkins'south March 1956 Top Ten hitting "Blue Suede Shoes".^{[29] [thirty]}

At age 16, he wanted to impress his girlfriend of 2 years, Diana Osborn(due east), who was an Elvis fan and, although he had no record contract at the time, told her that he, too, was going to make a tape.^{[28] [31] [32] [33]} With his father's help, he secured a one-record deal with Verve Records, an of import jazz label looking for a young and popular personality who could sing or be taught to sing.^{[32] [33] [34] [35]} On March 26, 1957, he recorded the Fats Domino standard "I'yard Walkin'" and "A Teenager's Romance" (released in late April 1957 as his first single),^[36] and "You're My One and Merely Love".^{[35] [37]}

Before the single was released, he fabricated his telly stone-and-roll debut on April 10, 1957, singing and playing the drums to "I'thou Walkin'" in the Ozzie and Harriet episode "Ricky, the Drummer".^{[38] [39]} Virtually the aforementioned fourth dimension, he made an unpaid public advent, singing "Blue Moon of Kentucky" with the Iv Preps at a Hamilton High School luncheon-60 minutes assembly^[36] in Los Angeles and was greeted by hordes of screaming teens who had seen the television episode.^{[40] [41]}

"I'm Walkin'" reached No. four on Billboard's Best Sellers in Stores nautical chart, and its flip side, "A Teenager's Romance", hit #two.^{[32] [41]} When the television series went on summer suspension in 1957, Nelson made his first road trip and played iv land and county fairs in Ohio and Wisconsin with the Four Preps, who opened and closed for him.^[42]

Beginning album, ring, and #1 single [edit]

In early summer 1957, Ozzie Nelson pulled his son from Verve after disputes virtually royalties and signed him to a lucrative 5-year deal with Imperial Records that gave him approval over vocal pick, sleeve artwork, and other production details.^{[43] [44]} Ricky'due south beginning Imperial single, "Be-Bop Baby", generated 750,000 advance orders, sold over one one thousand thousand copies, and reached No. 3 on the charts. Nelson's showtime album, Ricky, was released in Oct 1957 and hit #ane earlier the end of the twelvemonth.^[45] Following these successes, Nelson was given a more prominent role on the Ozzie and Harriet show and ended every ii or three episodes with a musical number.^[46]

Nelson grew increasingly dissatisfied performing with older jazz and country session musicians, who were openly contemptuous of stone and gyre. After his Ohio and Minnesota tours in the summertime of 1957, he decided to grade his ain band with members closer to his historic period.^[47] Eighteen-year-one-time electric guitarist James Burton was the beginning signed. Bassist James Kirkland, drummer Richie Frost, and pianist Gene Garf completed the ring.^[48] Their first recording together was "Believe What You lot Say". Prior to this, Joe Maphis had been playing the lead guitar function, and played lead on his first hits "Exist-Bop Baby", "Stood Up", and "Waitin In School".

In 1958, Nelson recorded 17-twelvemonth-old Sharon Sheeley's "Poor Footling Fool" for his second album, Ricky Nelson, released in June 1958.^{[49] [50]} Radio airplay brought the tune find, and Imperial suggested releasing a single, just Nelson opposed the thought, believing a single would diminish EP sales. When a unmarried was released even so, he exercised his contractual right to approve any artwork and vetoed a picture sleeve.^{[49] [51]} On Baronial iv, 1958, "Poor Little Fool" became the #ane unmarried on Billboard's newly instituted Hot 100 singles chart^{[52] [53]} and sold over two meg copies.^[49]

Nelson stated:

Anyone who knocks rock 'north' curl either doesn't understand it, or is prejudiced against it, or is just manifestly square. – NME – November 1958^[54]

During 1958 and 1959, Nelson had twelve hits in the charts in comparing with Elvis Presley's 11. During these 2 years, Presley had recorded music simply for the moving picture Male monarch Creole, in January and February 1958, earlier his induction into the U.S. Armed Forces and a cursory recording session (consisting of 5 songs) while on Military Leave iv months afterward. In the summer of 1958, Nelson conducted his kickoff full-scale bout, averaging $5,000 nightly. By 1960, the Ricky Nelson International Fan Order had 9,000 capacity around the world.^[55]

Perhaps the virtually embarrassing moment in my career was when six girls tried to fling themselves under my motorcar, and shouted to me to run over them. That sort of affair can exist very frightening! – NME – May 1960^[56]

Nelson was the outset teen idol to utilise television receiver to promote hitting records. Ozzie Nelson even had the idea to edit footage together to create some of the offset music videos. This creative editing can be seen in videos Ozzie produced for "Travelin' Homo". Nelson appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1967, but his career by that time was in limbo. He too appeared on other television shows (normally in acting roles). In 1973, he had an acting function in an episode of The Streets of San Francisco. He starred in the episode "A Hand For Sonny Bluish" from the 1977 series Quinn Martin's Tales of the Unexpected (known in the U.k. as Twist in the Tale). In 1979, he guest-hosted on Saturday Nighttime Alive, spoofing his telly sitcom image by appearing in a Twilight Zone sendup in which, always trying to get "home," he finds himself among the characters from other 1950s/early on 1960s-era sitcoms, Leave It to Beaver, Male parent Knows Best, Make Room for Daddy, and I Dear Lucy.

Nelson knew and loved music and was a skilled performer even before he became a teen idol, largely because of his parents' musical background. Nelson worked with many musicians of repute, including James Burton, Joe Osborn, and Allen "Puddler" Harris, all natives of Louisiana, and Joe Maphis, The Jordanaires, Scotty Moore, and Johnny and Dorsey Burnette.

Nelson's music was very well recorded with a clear, punchy sound—thanks in part to engineer Bunny Robyn and producer Jimmy Haskell.^[57]

From 1957 to 1962, Nelson had 30 Top-40 hits, more than than any other artist except Presley (who had 53) and Pat Boone (38). Many of Nelson's early records were double hits with both the A and B sides hitting the Billboard charts.

While Nelson preferred rockabilly and uptempo rock songs like "Believe What You Say" (Hot 100 #iv), "I Got a Feeling" (#ten), "My Saucepan'due south Got a Hole in It" (#12), "Hullo Mary Lou" (#9), "It's Late" (#9), "Stood Upwards" (#2), "Waitin' in Schoolhouse" (#18), "Exist-Bop Baby" (#3), and "Simply a Little Too Much" (#9), his smoothen, at-home vocalism made him a natural to sing ballads. He had major success with "Travelin' Man" (#1), "A Teenager'southward Romance" (#2), "Poor Little Fool" (#1), "Young Globe" (#5), "Lonesome Town" (#7), "Never Be Anyone Else But You" (#6), "Sweeter Than You" (#nine), "Information technology's Upward to You" (#6), and "Teen Age Idol" (#5), which conspicuously could have been nearly Nelson himself.

Film actor [edit]

Nelson in Rio Bravo, 1959

In addition to his recording career, Nelson appeared in movies. He fabricated his film debut in Here Come the Nelsons (1952) and had a small-scale role in The Story of Three Loves (1953) at MGM directed by Vincente Minnelli playing Farley Granger as a boy.

Following his success on TV and with singing, Howard Hawks cast him as a gunslinger in Rio Bravo (1959) with John Wayne and Dean Martin; Hawks attributed much of the film's box function success to Nelson.

Nelson co-starred with Jack Lemmon in The Wackiest Send in the Regular army (1960), which was popular enough to give ascension to a TV series (in which Nelson did not appear). He guest starred on General Electric Theatre ("The Wish Book") and starred in a romantic comedy feature written and directed by his father, Love and Kisses (1965) with Jack Kelly.

Nelson guest starred on Hondo (playing Jesse James), and had a support office in The Over-the-Hill Gang (1969) with Walter Brennan and Pat O'Brien.

Nelson was in Fol-de-Rol (1972), guest starred on McCloud, The Streets of San Francisco, Owen Marshall, Counselor at Constabulary, Petrocelli, A Twist in the Tale, The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries, and The Dear Gunkhole. On The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries he played the part of "Tony Eagle" and performed diverse well-known Nelson songs throughout the episode.

He had support roles in the TV films Three on a Engagement and Loftier Schoolhouse USA (1983).

Name change and 1960s career [edit]

On May eight, 1961 (his 21st birthday), he officially modified his recording proper name from "Ricky Nelson" to "Rick Nelson". His childhood nickname proved difficult to shake, especially among the generation who had watched him grow up on "Ozzie and Harriet". Even in the 1980s, when Nelson realized his dream of meeting Carl Perkins, Perkins noted that he and "Ricky" were the final of the "rockabilly breed".

In 1963, Nelson signed a xx-year contract with Decca Records. After some early successes with the label, most notably 1964's "For You" (#6), Nelson's chart career came to a dramatic halt in the wake of Beatlemania, The British Invasion, and later the Counterculture era. However, instead of dropping him, Decca kept him on board.

In the mid-1960s, Nelson began to move towards land music, becoming a pioneer in the country-rock genre. He was one of the early influences of the then-called "California Audio" (which would include singers similar Jackson Browne and Linda Ronstadt and bands such as Eagles). Yet Nelson himself did not achieve the Top 40 again until 1970, when he recorded Bob Dylan's "She Belongs to Me" with the Stone Coulee Band, featuring Randy Meisner, who in 1971 became a founding member of the Eagles, and former Buckaroo steel guitarist Tom Brumley.

"Garden Political party" and short-lived improvement [edit]

Nelson performing on The Jim Nabors Show in 1970

In 1972, Nelson reached the Superlative 40 one last time with "Garden Party", a song he wrote in disgust after a Richard Nader Oldies Concert at Madison Square Garden where the audition booed, perhaps against some unrelated police force action. However, Nelson may have felt that the reason was because he was playing new songs instead of just his old hits.^[58] When he performed The Rolling Stones' "Honky Tonk Women", at that place was booing, said to be against police force and not him.^[58] He was watching the rest of the operation on a Tv monitor backstage until Richard Nader finally convinced Nelson to render to the stage and play his "oldies". He returned to the stage and played his "oldies" and the audience responded with applause, according to Deborah Nader, President of Richard Nader Entertainment. He wanted to tape an anthology featuring original material, merely the unmarried was released before the anthology because Nelson had not completed the entire Garden Party album notwithstanding. "Garden Political party" reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and was certified as a gold single. The second single released from the anthology was "Palace Guard" which peaked at #65.

In 1973, MCA Records, whose parent visitor MCA Inc. had owned American Decca since 1962, ceased the characterization'south operations, and transferred Nelson (and many other Decca artists) to its roster. His comeback was short-lived, and Nelson's ring soon resigned. MCA wanted Nelson to accept a producer on his next album. A new ring was formed past Lindy Goetz, then a promotion person at MCA Records.^[59] Nelson's band moved to Aspen and inverse their proper name to "Canyon". Nelson and the new Stone Canyon Ring began to tour for the Garden Party album. Nelson withal played nightclubs and bars, simply he soon avant-garde to higher-paying venues because of the success of Garden Party.

In 1974, MCA was unsure every bit to what to do with the one-time teen idol. Albums similar Windfall failed to have an touch. Nelson became an allure at theme parks like Knott'south Drupe Farm and Disneyland. He besides started appearing in small-scale roles on tv shows.

Nelson tried to score another hit but did non take whatsoever luck with songs like "Rock and Coil Lady". With seven years to go along his contract, MCA dropped him from the label.

Personal life [edit]

Ricky and Kristin Nelson in 1964

In 1957, when Nelson was 17, he met and fell in love with Marianne Gaba, who played the role of Ricky's girlfriend in 3 episodes of Ozzie and Harriet.^{[60] [61]} Nelson and Gaba were too young to enter a serious human relationship, although according to Gaba "we used to neck for hours."^{[62] [63]}

The side by side yr, Nelson fell in beloved with xv-twelvemonth-old Lorrie Collins, a country vocalizer actualization on a weekly telecast called Boondocks Hall Party.^{[64] [65]} The two wrote Nelson's first composition, the vocal "My Gal", and she introduced him to Johnny Greenbacks and Tex Ritter. Collins appeared in an Ozzie and Harriet episode every bit Ricky's girlfriend and sang "But Because" with him in the musical finale.^[66] They went steady and discussed union, simply their parents discouraged the idea.^{[67] [68]} Harriet Nelson never approved of Ricky's teenage girlfriends or of his dating during those younger years. She had certain expectations for Ricky's personal life as well equally his career.

They married on April twenty, 1963. Kris was pregnant,^[73] and Rick subsequently described the matrimony every bit a "shotgun hymeneals".^[74] Nelson, a nonpracticing Protestant, received education in Catholicism at the insistence of the bride's parents^{[74] [75]} and signed a pledge to have any children of the union raised in the Catholic faith.^[73] Kris Nelson joined the television show equally a regular cast member in 1963.^{[76] [77]} They had 4 children: extra Tracy Kristine Nelson, twin sons Gunnar Eric Nelson and Matthew Greyness Nelson who formed the ring Nelson, and Sam Hilliard Nelson.

Past 1975, following the birth of their last child, the union had deteriorated and a very public, controversial divorce involving both families was covered in the press for several years. In October 1977, Kris filed for divorce and asked for alimony, custody of their four children, and a portion of community property. The couple temporarily resolved their differences, but Kris retained her attorney to pursue a permanent break.^{[78] [79]} Kris wanted Rick to give up music, spend more time at dwelling, and focus on acting, but the family enjoyed a recklessly expensive lifestyle, and Kris's extravagant spending left Rick no option but to bout relentlessly.^[eighty] The impasse over Rick's career created unpleasantness at habitation. Kris became an alcoholic and left the children in the care of household assistance.^[81] After years of legal proceedings, they were divorced in December 1982. The divorce was financially devastating for Nelson, with attorneys and accountants taking over $i meg.^[82] Years of legal wrangling followed.^{[83] [84]}

Helen Blair [edit]

In 1980, Nelson met Helen Blair, a role-time model and exotic-animal trainer, in Las Vegas.^[85] Within months of their meeting, she became his road companion, and in 1982 she moved in with him. She was the but woman he dated after his divorce.^{[85] [86]}

Blair acted as personal assistant to Nelson, organizing his 24-hour interval and acting every bit a liaison for his fan gild,^[85] but Nelson'due south female parent, brother, business managing director, and director disapproved of her presence in his life.^[87] He contemplated marrying her just eventually declined.^[88] Blair died with Nelson in the aeroplane fire. Her name was never mentioned at Nelson's funeral.^[89] Blair's parents wanted their daughter buried next to Nelson at Forest Lawn Cemetery, simply Harriet Nelson dismissed the idea.^[ninety] The Blairs refused to bury Helen'due south remains and filed a $two million wrongful death adapt against Nelson'southward estate.^[89] They received a minor settlement. Nelson did not provide for Blair in his will.^[91]
