Whilst dating with a girl who swooned over an Elvis song playing on the radio Ricky Nelson star of the hit TV show 'Ozzie & Harriet' decided to go into a recording studio and did his own cover of Fat Domino's 'I'm Walkin' which was aired on the show and a career in music was launched as 'I'm Walkin' went to #2 on the Billboard Chart. Through the novel power of television Ricky Nelson became one of the first artists that audiences saw & heard simultaneously as he performed a song at the end of every show. Rock n' Roll was considered salacious and scandalous in the... mainstream 50's but once a week the 'nice Nelson boy' smuggled it into living rooms & made it acceptable to parents. Consequently teenagers had far greater access to Rock n' Roll than they ever would have had arguably Ricky Nelson's most important contribution to music. Tracklist: 1. Hello Mary Lou 2.
