What began as a way to impress girls – singing and playing
guitar – became a way of life for a 1950’s teenage idol. He became one of the
top selling artists in pop music history. His father Ozzie was a well-known big
band leader, and later a radio and television star. His mother Harriet was a
singer with Ozzie’s band, and starred as Ozzie’s wife on the popular radio and
then television show ‘The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet’. While Rick Nelson had
advantages that most people don’t enjoy, he quickly emerged from the shadows of
his parents to become a star in his own right.
