RICK NELSON SINGS "FOR YOU"

Rick Nelson - Rick Nelson Sings "For You" 

Following are the edited liner notes from the original album package.

The amazing versatility of Rick Nelson was never more evident than on this, his latest release for the Decca Label.  Any one of the twelve selections could be a smash hit single on its own.  This tremendously talented young artist handles all types of songs with equal ease and facility without at any time losing his own personalized style.  His distinctive and tasteful phrasing and vocal quality make it immediately evident that it is a Rick Nelson rendition.  
     The musical arrangements are in the capable hands of Jimmie Haskell, who does such an excellent job of combining his and Rick's interpretations of the selected material.  The refreshingly exciting backgrounds feature, as usual, James Burton on electric guitar, Ray Johnson on piano and organ, Joe Osborn on bass guitar and Richie Frost on drums.  The sessions were supervised by Bud Dant, Decca recording executive.
     Rick Nelson, as practically everyone knows, has been in show business since he was eight years old...when he first appeared with his brother, Dave on their parent's radio show.  In fact, the two Nelson boys have practically grown up in full view of millions of families from coast to coast.

This clip from the The Adventures Of Ozzie & Harriet was my first introduction to Ricky Nelson's singing talent, the beginning of his rise to being my favorite musical artist obsession and what remains my favorite Rick Nelson track of all time.  This was the song that started it all for me!
