    Ricky Nelson - The American Dream (1957-62)(Bear Family 6-CD)(2001)                  


Info: 



Eric Hilliard (Ricky) Nelson, geboren te Teaneck (New Jersey) op 8 mei 1940 en overleden te De Kalb (Texas) op 31 december 1985, was een Amerikaans zanger.

Als kind trad hij op in de televisieserie "The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet" van zijn ouders. Zijn vader, Ozzie Nelson, was orkestleider en zijn moeder, Harriet Hilliard, zangeres. Het paar was succesvol sinds de hit "Dream a little dream of me" in 1931.

Hun zoon is één van de eerste tienersterren in Amerika. In 1957 nam hij zijn eerste plaat op, een cover van "I'm walkin'" van Fats Domino. In de jaren erna werd hij bijzonder populair: in eind jaren '50 - begin jaren '60 verkocht alleen Elvis Presley in de Verenigde Staten meer platen. Bekende hits van hem zijn "Hello Mary Lou", "Travelin' Man" en "Poor Little Fool".

Ricky Nelson werkte ook als acteur. In 1959 vertolkte hij een hoofdrol in de film "Rio Bravo" met John Wayne en Dean Martin. In de jaren '60 bleven successen uit. Hij veranderde van muziekstijl en ging van de rock 'n roll meer de countrykant op. Zijn fans waardeerden dit maar matig. Nelson schreef, over hun onwil hem nieuw repertoire te gunnen, het lied "Garden Party" (1972), dat prompt een hit werd. Twee jaar later volgde nog een bescheiden succes met Windfall.

In de jaren zeventig en '80 raakte hij toch in vergetelheid, tot hij in 1985 met veel succes meedeed aan een serie golden oldie-concerten in Engeland. Dit leidde tot een soortgelijke tour door het zuiden van de Verenigde Staten. Tijdens deze tour kwam hij, op oudejaarsdag van 1985, bij een vliegtuigongeluk in Texas, op 45-jarige leeftijd om het leven.

De tweelingzonen van Ricky Nelson, Gunnar en Matthew, vormden later de popgroep Nelson, die in 1990 een nummer 1-hit had in Amerika: (can't live without your) love and affection. Zijn dochter, Tracy Nelson, speelde mee in de serie Father Dowling Mysteries.
