In memory of Rick Nelson on what would have been his 72nd birthday. Thanks Rick for all the fabulous music! Thanks to Mr. Fowler for this great clip :)

Rave On was the last song Rick sing on a stage before the plane crash. looks like he used this song to close his shows. He is miss, what a tragedy to loose him so young. Long live Rick and his

Ricky worked hard. And what a looker he was!! What a great loss for we the fans. I have been a fan since 64. I sure am glad I had Ricky Nelson in my life!!!!Rest in Peace Ricky Nelson!!! You are sorely missed.

Rick proved he could still kick rock and roll's butt. Elvis often called him "little brother" from what I read.

Buddy Holly and Rick Nelson, huge talents!! May their music live on forever!!

[tabithatotten]

Im Happy this was Ricks last song since he loved Buddy Holly and it was his last song. They both left so much love behind🎶💙

[dennysilva]

Yes, this song was written and sung by the late, great Buddy Holly. Rick does a good job on it - loved him and his music. A tragic ending to his life, but his memory lives on.

He really did give every concert all he had! A life well lived! ♥️🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

ricky nelson was so magical. i remember passing the exit theater in nashville on my way to work while he was playing there. i couldn't afford to go, wish i could have gone.

Rick was fine as wine and such a handsome guy. There has never been another that looked as good as Ricky Nelson. What a sweet handsome guy he was. Sorry Elvis he had you beat in looks. He was just so sweet looking. He was always dressed so neat and never looked slouchy. Always had a smile and made people want to take a second look.

Gone too soon..he was only 45 years old when he died
RIP dear Ricky Nelson

HOPE YOU ARE RIP RICKY ALL THESE YEARS. ITS GRAT TO HEAR YOUR MUSIC AGAIN. I grew up on this type of Rock N Roll music and Ricky Nelson..The dance at that time was called the Jitterbug. Ricky Nelson and his music was very popular and his fans were devastated about the news of his death. Another musician lost too early. His 3 sons have carried on with musical careers. Hadn't thought about Ricky Nelson or his brother, David, along with mom and dad on The Ozzie and Harriett Show. Those days were the good old days when TV programs showed family fun not like today where love is competed for, always arguing and swearing and back then, musicians sang good clean music and didn't hop around on stage less than half clothed twerking their butts or grabbing their crotch and sang the lyrics that one could understand. Don't get me wrong, not all.musicians mumble, swear, or sing almost nude but there is a bunch that do and it's not entertaining.

He was such a Talent. Sing play musical instruments. Write music. So sorry he had to leave so soon but God needed him for his heavenly band.

[carolynwiley]

It's amazing growed from the little. Cute blonde headed boy to a georgeous hunk of a man there will never be another Rick ❤

[sunsetgurl]

Oh Ricky! You are missed and loved by so many! I'll always Rave On for you! 

[richardgann]

So Very Heartbreaking that Ricky and his Entire Band, Are All Gone!!! Keep on Rocking. Ricky!!!!

[danaporat]

[christinechoptij]
