This is such a beautiful, gentle reading of a wistful love song that is often marred by over dramatics. Ricky nailed the proper tone.

My mother told me that a week or so before I was born (1943) she saw Ozzy Nelson and Harriet Hillliard (Rick's parents) perform. She said that Rick Nelson's voice was very similar to his father's voice. I always liked Rick's music. Maybe it got through to me while in utero. When I was in the Navy, the escapee from a razorblade factory I was on was in dry dock in Boston. Rick was due to perform the night after my leave started. You can bet I was disappointed in not being able to see him perform. I did see Jerry Lee Lewis a few months earlier. His nickname "Killer" was apropos and the show he headlined was really great.

Ron Cleaver a friend recently attributed this song to Rickey Nelson. I didn’t know what she was talking about. As I know full well this song was written and recorded by Bobby Darin in 1959. So I searched You Tube to prove her wrong. Well I guess she was correct. Here it is. Rickey Nelson killed a great song with his slow dull version. Nothing against Rickey. I love HIS tunes. But please. Leave the original to the master and creator unless you can do it better.

I was lucky enough to be present when Rick put on a concert at a local nightclub in Scottsdale, Arizona in 1966. Somehow my date and I got a table that was big enough for two glasses and two elbows at the corner of a dance floor that was probably 20X20. When Rick was announced and the curtain opened I was initially disappointed because there were only 5 people on the stage. Rick, two other guitarists, a basist, and a drummer. Somehow between them they sounded just like Rick's recordings. WOW!

Not Mark Knopler, not James Burton. The original guitarist in 1979 was John Beland, and was done on an acoustic guitar. Bobby Neal, who died with Rick, did the lead on the hit version of the song on electric guitar. The version of the album released to the public, Memphis Sessions, was redone in Nashville by studio musicians. The original title of the album is Rockabilly Renaissance. I think Bear Family released a boxed set and it has some of the original versions on it.
