Ricky performs on The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet in 1958

Listening this in the car at night when it’s raining

Ricky was a strikingly handsome man but his essence of kindness and politeness made him a gentleman.

Nice to meet you, new imaginary husband

[eyejustdontunderstandc]

I wonder if Heartbreak Hotel is in Lonesome Town

[dyon]

Imagine listening to this in a 50/60s car on a never ending road ❤

[Fiadayy]

Imagine being a girl in the audience and getting stared at by Ricky Nelson while he sings.
*My mind just rose to heaven*

I have a huge passion for 50s and 60s music. I dunno, everytime when I hear songs from these decades, Im exactly in another time zone....

[redsunflowers]

in 2018 i dated someone that looked so much like him, he told me his grandpa used to say that a lot to him growing up and when he showed me this video i was amazed by the resemblance.
we broke up in 2020 and he got married to the love of his life back in september of 2023, i still think about him a lot and if he ever reads this, chris im sorry about everything but i hope you're happy, i heard you have the life you always wanted and i'm so happy for you, you deserve it.

My wife has admitted she is having an affair with someone I called a friend. I am the newest resident to Lonesome Town. I think I am here to stay.

This is something I didn’t know I needed.

Also, who in their right mind would break HiS heart?

[Gabrielfi]

There's a place where lovers go
To cry their troubles away
And they call it Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay (Lonesome Town)

You can buy a dream or two
To last you all through the years
And the only price you pay
Is a heart full of tears (full of tears)

Goin' down to Lonesome Town
Where the broken hearts stay
Goin' down to Lonesome Town
To cry my troubles away

In the town of broken dreams
The streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget (to forget)

Maybe down in Lonesome Town
I can learn to forget
Lonesome Town

They should make a movie about him and get Chris Evans to play him :)

[eileenjesmer]

When a song had a meaning and you could understand what they said

[graciefinley]

All the girls were just mesmerized in the audience

[jeannielapointe]

What a singer Ricky was. He was gone too soon. This is such a beautiful song. Thank you Rick for your beautiful music. Thank you for this post.

I’m only 17 but this song makes me feel something, new music can’t hit the same as this. ❤

1950s and early 1960s the best time period of my life. I always say that when I die, I have two wishes: To be surrounded by all animals, especially the ones I knew and loved, and to be back in that golden era....

[benjaminbarrera]

People used to dismiss him because he started off as a manufactured teen idol, but he had real talent and made some truly great music. I'm glad people are discovering him now and appreciate him on his own merits.

This song is becoming famous on TikTok and I hope to GOD they don’t come to this comment section and say nun ❌
