I lost my girl friend-my fault- in 1963 to another guy, and tried for weeks to 'win' her back-I sent her this 45 record asking her to 'reconsider'...? It worked ! Thanks to Ricky's song,we have been married for 51 YEARS !!!
I had such a crush on Ricky when I was 17. I sent him my picture and requested a signed autograph. I got one and cherished it. He was always so groomed and those eyes! I know there were bigger singers like Elvis, but Ricky always had that home town, sweet face, and shy demeanor. The year he died he played after one of our Milwaukee Bucks basketball games. Most of the people left, but we flocked down to the front to see and hear him better. That was the last time we ever heard of Ricky. I was devastated, as I imagine SO many more people were, to hear of the fatal plane crash and his passing. I can hardly wait to get to heaven to hear him sing again, for all eternity! What a sweet man . . .
Chris Isaak is THE most beautiful man to walk the face of the planet, when he was young and still today. MOST gorgeous voice and talented songwriter for nearly 40 years!
OMG!!! SIXTY years later and this song still sounds as GREAT as ever! Rick, you live on in our hearts and thanks for the cherished memories of your music which are timeless classics!
@@user-ix2hz7fj9g You got that right! I remember him singing songs at the end of each Ozzie and Harriet show in the later years that the show was on. Glad I saw him in concert in San Jose, CA. in 1981 4 1/2 years before he died and left us much too soon. I hope you saw the VERY touching and well done PBS special about him around 2005. 😎
@@iloveallhishallmarkmovies3913 Thanks for your reply! Glad you feel the way that I do about his music. I hope you saw the GREAT Rick Nelson PBS special around 2005. It was wonderful, especially with his family members on it. 😎
100% d'accord avec vous ... En plus d'être d'une beauté rare, il était la douceur et la sensualité incarnée ... Si le mot "ange" a un sens, alors, il en est l'incarnation.😇
A very under-rated performer. This guy had a lot of chart topping singles and albums. What a pleasant voice. I have enjoyed listening to his hits for all these many years. What a tragic ending to his life, but his music survives him. Miss ya', Rick... you're truly one of the great ones.
@@johnfulton4921 you’re right! They both were greater than given credit! And both were always humble & grateful for the success they had! In 2020, much to my surprise, I found out who my birth parents were. One was a semi-famous musician in the SE in the 60’s, named Bobbie Howard & I was told by a half-brother, that I was Brenda Lee’s 2nd or 3rd cousin! All these years of loving her music & never knowing we were related! Adopted kids dream about being related to famous people...but when you’re older & find out...what a shock!
@@cynthiaennis3107 Awww mate! Well it's all good, especially if your adoptive parents were loving. And what a fabulous find re biological ones. Hope you're coping well with it all xxx

Ricky was so handsome and talented. I grew up watching Ricky on the Ozzie and Harriet show. He was my first crush. I was so sad when I learned that he had been killed in a plane crash. Such a sweet soul to have such a sad ending. I’ll always remember Ricky all the terrific things he was. I still listen to all of his music, and still think he had the most fantastic, beautiful blue eyes I’ve ever seen. I’m 72 now, but when I listen to Ricky saying I’m just a girl again. He left us so much and he has missed so much..
What you are seeing is the result of when a young man has lots of testosterone coursing through his system. And you get that by early struggle and then the realization of success. A man who is handsome has been tested and then relaxed to create that result. Men who struggle endlessly are not made more handsome by their struggles. And men with hopelessly confused features are at their core, confused.
From a 73 yr. old daddy of 4 little gals who gave me 4 new little ninas and muchachas, that is Sooo cute!!...Not to mention the little muchachos who can also lell in fuv with their tV honeypot.......And no, ...I'm German !
This was Rick's last original single for Imperial in late 1962 , James Burton once again turns out a fabulous guitar solo . Besides Ricky , he was known as Rick since Travelin'Man / Hello Mary Lou ,being damn good, he also had a hell of a band !!!! 🎸. 😊
Started learning guitar and singing in 58 I was 10 years old. Big influence on me . still play his music today. Rip sir and thank you for your music and memories.
James Burton, playing the Fender Telecaster behind Rick, was a star in his own right. Not only did he back Ricky for years, Burton also played lead gutiar for The King (Elvis) up until Presley's death. As late as 2010 James Burton was the honored guest at Eric Clapton's "Crossroads" gutiar festival in Chicago. During his years with Ricky, Burton always had the sweetest gutiar riffs but his playing was never overdone ~ Ricky's voice & presence always carried the show. We'll always miss Ricky.
I say good for u, its so important for the younger generations know his music and play it. You have to keep him alive in our hearts & minds, like the Beatles. Rock on with Rick. I LOVE HIM & WHERE HE GOES, I'll FOLLOW...ETERNALLY.
Years ago, one of my Christmas gifts from my daughter was a Ricky Nelson CD. I showed it to my young granddaughter and said I’ve always loved him. She whispered to me...does PopPop know?
Ricky had so much more class and a sweetness about him. Just a very polite gentleman...and HOT!!! LOL I loved him. He is from my generation so I had plenty of years to love his music...and he is so easy on the eyes. :-)
So smooth...The dude was an ICON...Gentle..Clear...Guitar Riffs were awesome..This song was cool...His family show set the tone..Timeless music..Timeless voice...Lot of Respect for this guy...
Ricky Nelson had a great voice. He recorded some memorable hit records. When I listen to this record, I’m transported back to the late1950’s. Sadly, he left us too early.
"Fools Rush In" (#12, Fall 1963) is my favorite Ricky Nelson song, and I thought that was perfect for the era. czcams.com/video/oqiOBp4ITlM/video.html (TV version, Kris at 0:10), full version with James Burton's guitar solo break here: czcams.com/video/XMy4Ln7VtGE/video.html

Ricky Nelson underrated for sure! He had that smooth delivery. Crazy handsome. At 1:50 the great country blues Fender guitar solo still sounds great! There’s is no comparing Elvis and Ricky. Ricky was great for what he did. Elvis was a phenomenon that bridges all black R&B into mainstream. He’s a legend. That doesn’t diminish Ricky Nelson or any other awesome talent of the 1950s. They were great for what they had. Still listening April 2020! 💔☺️❤️
I have always loved his songs and still love to hear them. No point in comparing him to anyone else. Everyone has a different style. But Ricky Nelson is Ricky Nelson and thank goodness we got to hear him make music.
Absolutely love this song. Great production, and love James Burton's out-of-phase Telecaster lead: what a sound what a great melody. Ricky came out of the early days of rock and roll, and I'm so glad he did ... what a great time for music.
The year I turned 16 and started driving that fall....One of the best years of my life. I knew it all then. I don't really know much now. And James Burton is awesome along with Ricky.
Ok people,this might be a Ricky Nelson spot for his songs,BUT,I'm not gonna sit here and not comment on the real star power of Elvis.Elvis is not only still THE KING but always will be.His voice range is so dynamic,and his performances are top notch,he makes sure his fans get what they paid for. Kids growing up now are becoming Elvis Presley fans and he is just gorgeous as well.There are no one hit wonders for Elvis either,his songs are still well known today.💖💖💋💋 LEGEND LIVES,NEVER DIED,ITS UP TO YOU TO DECIDE.ELVIS NEVER LEFT THE BUILDING.THE IMAGE DIED ON 16.8.77 BUT THE MAN LIVES TODAY.HE TURNED 84 ON 8.1.2019. CELERBRATE!!!💖💖💖💖💋💋💋💋🔥🔥🔥🔥🌟🌟🌟🌟🌠🌠🌠🌠🌋🌋🌋🌋🎯🎯🎯🎯😍😍😍😍🤫🤫🤫🤫
My granddaughter came to me asking who he is. I told her about him. She's 15 years old. She started listening to his music. Ricky you have a new fan ❤❤❤❤
I really love Ricky's facial expression when he sings: his dreamy eyes, lips and his shy but charming smile....I like the way he blinks and and he seems completely engrossed in the song. Ricky is just soooooo charming!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Be still my heart. Ricky Nelson was so handsome & dreamy looking. Such class for such a young man. So respectful. His voice was beautiful. Elvis was first & Ricky was next. There are no men today like them. They both were taken too soon. RIP. You both are still loved from your fans. Thanks for the video.😘💕
+Nik Lyons If you don't know, there is no sense trying to explain it to you. To have grown up with Ricky, to follow his career and, later, to see him Rick perform live in 1985 ( a tragic, last year for him, his family, his fans and the music industry) was FANtastic. Listen to his CZcams music downloads or invest some money in his CDs, especially his Box Set.
Lyrics: It's up to you Because I've done everything I can I hope that you Will say that I'm your loving man Make up your mind And do what you're gonna do Well you know how I feel So I'm leaving it up to you It's all so clear That I would give everything I own To have you near Never leave me all alone I need your love So, darling, please be fair Let me know where I stand And I hope that you say you care Well I've laid my cards on the table And its oh so plain to see That I'm ready, willing and able To love you faithfully It's up to you No, it's not for me to say You love me too Oh, but I hope you feel that way Make up your mind And do what you're gonna do Well you know how I feel So I'm leaving it up to you Make up your mind And do what you're gonna do Well you know how I feel So I'm leaving it up to you It's up to you Darling, it's up to you Baby, it's up to you Darling, it's up to you Baby, it's up to you Darling. it's up to you Baby, it's up to you
There's something about his face when he sings. It's one of the best I've ever seen on an performing artist. I don't know if it was just the era or what but his lack of exaggeration with his expressions just mesmerizes me. It's as if the women in the audience could have stripped down to their bra and panties and this kid would have still just kept his cool. His unshakable cool.
Ojalá hubiera vivido en esa época, creo qué era muy romantica, y los cantantes eran fabulosos, pero debo agradecer qué puedo escucharlos y nunca dejarán de asombrarme ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ,Maravillosos@❤🤗😃😍
This is amazing! I grew up with the television show and they always ended the show with a performance by Rick Nelson. It was so heartbreaking when he died in that plane crash with his band.
I agree. Ricky Nelson was underated in my opion. His voice was beautiful. He was so handsome also. I grew up watching Ozzie & Harriet. They were a beautiful family. They don't have guys like that today. I am thankful I grew up at the time I did. Ricky Nelson & Elvis. Nobody could come close. LOVE you both. RIP.
wow.. real talent! almost looked surprised at the ovation he got after song was over. singer, songwriter, guitarist and humble. pretty much an extinct commodity these days. R.I.P.
Rick Nelson was my first love! I was just a little girl when the fam used to watch Ozzie and Harriet. Yes, looking back, teenaged angst was so totally different in the late 50's and early 60's. My older brother hit his teen years in the early 60's and for me it was the late 60's, early 70's. I never stopped loving Rick! When my brother was overseas in Germany in the Viet Nam era, he saw Rick in concert and got his autograph for me! I think my love for James Taylor came from Ricks music ..
How nice to see and hear this excellent singer from time to time....Thank you Ricky wherever you are in space , you make me dream those days and feel like a teanager.
Love, love,love Ricky Nelson, I love all of his songs. What a great voice, does a good job on the guitar, and looks, Oh my he has the total package. :) They don't make clean cut men or music like this anymore.
U know, I really wish my Mom Candis Eaton was still around so I could thank her 4 making Ricky Nelson's music one of my fondest childhood memories, & EVERYTIME i hear a Ricky Nelson song it immediately puts a smile on my face & in my heart, it prob even puts a smile on my Mom's face too (even though she's gone) I know she's up there driving 2 the Bowling Alley in her big ole Lincoln Continental blaring Ricky Nelson songs just smiling, & singing along, clapping her hand on her steering wheel & just "Bee-Bop Baby"(ing) it just like she did when I was little, I'm 50 now & I can't hardly remember "💩", but i STILL remember the words & every strum of Ricky's 🎸 as if i was 10yrs old again & bee-bopping along w/my Mom & little sister to the bowling alley. Lol. So 4 what it might, may, or could be worth...... THANK Y☺️U M🥰M 4 having GR8 taste in music & introducing Ricky Nelson's music into my life. It's 40 yrs L8R Mom & I STILL love it & I STILL love "U"! "R.W.L.U.&.G.A.D" mom, I DO! Always & 4ever! Mom, "U", Music & My kids & they're kids are my Ultimate "Happy🥰Place". I miss the"💩"outtayouuu!
Wonderful memories left behind by a very talented singer. His sons, Matthew, Gunner and Sam, have made their dad proud. Rick may be gone but never be forgotten. Some great singing angels in heaven.
Rick and James Burton turned teens of our generation on to pick up a guitar through Ozzie and Harriet performances like this one. Huge influence. I always return to his beautiful music.
I remember seeing these performances at the end of the TV show back in the day and always thought they were amazing. Years later i met Ozzie and Harriet and I am sure the years Ozzie was a band leader contributed a bit to Rickys musical success.

Rick never received the credit and career he truly deserved. I really liked his music.

Ricky was velvet.....singing was like breathing for him. One of the best vocalists of the time.....I always liked his sleepy concentration.

He is a lot more humble and handsome than most singers including Elvis.

It was such an incredible time back then (50’s), & Rickie was part of everyone’s family, we were so lucky. Miss ya, Rickie, (David, your Mom & Dad)…….
I like how they are all dressed up. Shows respect for the audience.
Bands from the early '60s wore dinner jackets and cumber buns ... Back then, they actually cared about their appearances... AND they looked SHARP!!!!!
And to the music and themselves.
There was no other way to dress.

He was so good looking, from his young years until the end. The slow blink got me each time I watch him.
One of the best ever thank you Jesus for letting me hear this young man 10 ❤️❤️
Just my opinion... Elvis had a wonderful voice, but Ricky's voice was beautiful...
No comparrison, loved them both!
They're both astounding to listen to.
Rio bravo
I'm still in love with Ricky Nelson.
@@vilmad007 is the first one to me
He was a beautiful and kind person. i met him when i was a small child, he was so sweet.
Wow! God must have been generous in distributing out the package deal of good looks etc. for Ricky on the day he was born!
I really love Ricky's facial expression when he sings: his dreamy eyes, lips and his shy but charming smile....I like the way he blinks and and he seems completely engrossed in the song. Ricky is just soooooo charming!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I SAW RICK IN GERMANY 1971 USAF BASE HIS MOM AND DAD PERFORMED ALSO MADE A GREAT SHOW STANDING ROOM ONLY ..................THANKS FOR GREAT TIMES
Be still my heart. Ricky Nelson was so handsome & dreamy looking. Such class for such a young man. So respectful. His voice was beautiful. Elvis was first & Ricky was next. There are no men today like them. They both were taken too soon. RIP. You both are still loved from your fans. Thanks for the video.😘💕
why is ricky nelson so awesomely cool? timeless classic!
+Nik Lyons If you don't know, there is no sense trying to explain it to you. To have grown up with Ricky, to follow his career and, later, to see him Rick perform live in 1985 ( a tragic, last year for him, his family, his fans and the music industry) was FANtastic. Listen to his CZcams music downloads or invest some money in his CDs, especially his Box Set.
I love Ricky Nelson
I cover poor little fool
His voice was so mellow, easy to listen to, sing with and dance to! He had it all!
He had a great guitarist that's why.
a handsome man and his songs will always be evergreen. His style is smooth and simple and refreshing!
Ricky Nelson, now this is music, with James Burton on lead guitar.
... And I believe, Joe Osborn on bass.
J’adore James Burton un guitariste génial au top ❤️il a joué avec Roy Orbison ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lyrics:
It's up to you
Because I've done everything I can
I hope that you
Will say that I'm your loving man
Make up your mind
And do what you're gonna do
Well you know how I feel
So I'm leaving it up to you
It's all so clear
That I would give everything I own
To have you near
Never leave me all alone
I need your love
So, darling, please be fair
Let me know where I stand
And I hope that you say you care
Well I've laid my cards on the table
And its oh so plain to see
That I'm ready, willing and able
To love you faithfully
It's up to you
No, it's not for me to say
You love me too
Oh, but I hope you feel that way
Make up your mind
And do what you're gonna do
Well you know how I feel
So I'm leaving it up to you
Make up your mind
And do what you're gonna do
Well you know how I feel
So I'm leaving it up to you
It's up to you
Darling, it's up to you
Baby, it's up to you
Darling, it's up to you
Baby, it's up to you
Darling. it's up to you
Baby, it's up to you
Vinicius Silva thanks!
Excellent! 🔥🍻
There's something about his face when he sings. It's one of the best I've ever seen on an performing artist. I don't know if it was just the era or what but his lack of exaggeration with his expressions just mesmerizes me. It's as if the women in the audience could have stripped down to their bra and panties and this kid would have still just kept his cool. His unshakable cool.
Az arcán a szíve tisztasága és végtelen alázat az Élet, a Szerelem érzése felé!💗Isten ajándéka felénk!🙏
Amen !!!
As Sam Phillips of Sun records said, when Rick started to sing, he was totally immersed in the meaning of that song!
ANOTHER GREAT RICK NELSON SONG, HE WAS FABULOUS
Hello Joan, how are you doing?
Ojalá hubiera vivido en esa época, creo qué era muy romantica, y los cantantes eran fabulosos, pero debo agradecer qué puedo escucharlos y nunca dejarán de asombrarme ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ,Maravillosos@❤🤗😃😍
This is amazing! I grew up with the television show and they always ended the show with a performance by Rick Nelson. It was so heartbreaking when he died in that plane crash with his band.
Brings me back to those good old days. So terrific, and so charming that I will never forget.
Phenomenal performance by Rick and the guitar playing is awesome
If I go to Heaven I hope your music will be there as music I love!
A wonderful voice, a very , very great Singer.
Most underated, versatile talent
I agree. Ricky Nelson was underated in my opion. His voice was beautiful. He was so handsome also. I grew up watching Ozzie & Harriet. They were a beautiful family. They don't have guys like that today. I am thankful I grew up at the time I did. Ricky Nelson & Elvis. Nobody could come close. LOVE you both. RIP.
wow.. real talent! almost looked surprised at the ovation he got after song was over. singer, songwriter, guitarist and humble. pretty much an extinct commodity these days. R.I.P.
not extinct at all. Chris Isaak has all those characteristics and more
A man who really matched with his face and voice. Fantastic voice and good looking. I still enjoy listening to him.
Rick & Elvis....My teenage idols.....
Rick Nelson was my first love! I was just a little girl when the fam used to watch Ozzie and Harriet. Yes, looking back, teenaged angst was so totally different in the late 50's and early 60's. My older brother hit his teen years in the early 60's and for me it was the late 60's, early 70's. I never stopped loving Rick! When my brother was overseas in Germany in the Viet Nam era, he saw Rick in concert and got his autograph for me! I think my love for James Taylor came from Ricks music ..
Hello Kate, how are you doing?
How nice to see and hear this excellent singer from time to time....Thank you Ricky wherever you are in space , you make me dream those days and feel like a teanager.
I really love Ricky's voice ♥️
And love this song :)
For a few minutes I was back ice skating to his music....fun times! Thanks for the music Ricky!! RIP
Love, love,love Ricky Nelson, I love all of his songs. What a great voice, does a good job on the guitar, and looks, Oh my he has the total package. :) They don't make clean cut men or music like this anymore.
I totally agree. LOVE Ricky.😘💞
Yes they do. June 26, 1956 Christopher Joseph Isaak
Enjoyed every bit of this song. Was transported back in time.
Great Voice
Liked his mannerisms.
Mahesh M to h
Yes, yes!!!!! Thanks.
U know, I really wish my Mom Candis Eaton was still around so I could thank her 4 making Ricky Nelson's music one of my fondest childhood memories, & EVERYTIME i hear a Ricky Nelson song it immediately puts a smile on my face & in my heart, it prob even puts a smile on my Mom's face too
(even though she's gone) I know she's up there driving 2 the Bowling Alley in her big ole Lincoln Continental blaring Ricky Nelson songs just smiling, & singing along, clapping her hand on her steering wheel & just "Bee-Bop Baby"(ing) it just like she did when I was little,
I'm 50 now & I can't hardly remember "💩", but i STILL remember the words & every strum of Ricky's 🎸 as if i was 10yrs old again & bee-bopping along w/my Mom & little sister to the bowling alley. Lol.
So 4 what it might, may, or could be worth......
THANK Y☺️U M🥰M
4 having GR8 taste in music
& introducing Ricky Nelson's music into my life. It's 40 yrs L8R Mom & I STILL love it & I STILL love "U"!
"R.W.L.U.&.G.A.D" mom,
I DO! Always & 4ever!
Mom, "U", Music & My kids
& they're kids are my Ultimate "Happy🥰Place".
I miss the"💩"outtayouuu!
Hello how are you doing
Merci pour ce partage en live
J'adore ce chanteur
Il a une voix magnifique
Cette chanson est magnifique
J'aime beaucoup
RIP Ricky Nelson
Wonderful memories left behind by a very talented singer. His sons, Matthew, Gunner and Sam, have made their dad proud. Rick may be gone but never be forgotten. Some great singing angels in heaven.
Hello Jackie, how are you doing?
Rick and James Burton turned teens of our generation on to pick up a guitar through Ozzie and Harriet performances like this one. Huge influence. I always return to his beautiful music.
I never tire of Ricky Nelson singing, he and Sam Cook were the best of the era
I agree. I loved them both. We lost them too soon. I grew up with them & their songs. Both were so handsome. RIP.😘💞
Elvis and Ricky were great. Some like Elvis, some like Ricky. Why can't we just leave it at that and enjoy the music they left for us.
Rick nelson was my Elvis.Elvis was good but Rick was GREAT!!
One of my absolute favorites by Rick - a tremendous tune indeed!!!!!
My dream man. R.I.P. Ricky nelson
None of it is me
Artemisa, R.I.P Indeed my friend, just got one of his albums. Hes one of my all time inspirations for the music ive written.
Rio Bravo Ricky Nelson was just Brilliant Singing with Deno and Stumpy and the Duke. My Rifle Pony and Me Awesome. RIP all you Greats.
at 1:45, Ricky gives James the look to riff; years later, Elvis would say "play it James!"
Gram Parsons said, “Pick it for me, James” 🙂
I remember seeing these performances at the end of the TV show back in the day and always thought they were amazing. Years later i met Ozzie and Harriet and I am sure the years Ozzie was a band leader contributed a bit to Rickys musical success.
God Ricky Nelson had a Beautiful voice and just as Beautiful a face
So easy to listen to and so easy on the eyes
I will never understand how Elvis became the king of rock ‘n’ roll Ricky was gorgeous all the way up to the end of his life Elvis wasn’t just saying.
Hello how are you doing
He was so handsome and had a wonderful voice. And he never came across as vain. I suppose it was the times.
