On January 15 2008 Capitol Records released a disc titled Ricky Nelson-Greatest Love Songs. The album has all of Rick's more famous love songs like "Never Be Anyone Else But You," "Poor Little Fool," and "Hello Mary Lou" along with many others that I was not familiar with totaling 22 tracks including a couple covers like "Unchained Melody" or Bobby Darin's "Dream Lover." The tunes emit a feeling of a period gone by. A lot of the songs were obviously remastered but thankfully not so much that the feeling and musicianship of that period is lost. All the songs showcase Ricky' more romantic side and I would recommend the disc to anyone who enjoys listening to vintage, timeless music.
Oddly enough the very last song Ricky performed was the Buddy Holly song "Rave On." Kinda eerie. In 1987 Rick Nelson was posthumously inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
