This Day in History: Remembering Rick (Ricky) Nelson

 

 

Remembering singer-songwriter, musician and actor Rick ‘Ricky’ Nelson, who died 29 years ago today in DeKalb, TX…along with his fiancé and band members from his Stone Canyon band.

The group was traveling to Dallas to perform at a New Year’s Eve concert when the plane they traveled in crashed. The cause of the crash was determined to be mechanical problems.

Here’s one of my favorite songs by Rick Nelson.

Serenade Saturday: The Christmas Song by Rick Nelson

In lieu of the Christmas holiday, I present the classic 1956 song “The Christmas Song,” which was originally sung by Nat King Cole and then remade in 1964 by actor/musician/singer-songwriter Rick Nelson for ‘The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet.’

By the way, the blond toddler in the video is Nelson’s one-year-old daughter, actress Tracy Nelson, who is being held by her mother, Kris Harmon.

Actor Chris Meloni Purchases Former Ozzie & Harriet Home

I thought this was some interesting real estate news since I’m a fan of Hollywood history.

Actor Chris Meloni, best known for his television role on Law & Order: SVU, and his wife, production designer Sherman Williams, just purchased the former Ozzie & Harriet Nelson home in Hollywood for $5.25 million.

The home boasts a little bit of rock and roll history too since it is where the Nelson’s youngest son, Rick (“Ricky”), grew up…along with his older brother, David.
