Rick Nelson
 

I remember where I was the day Rick Nelson died in a plane crash.
I was sitting in a gay bar with friends and someone came to the table
and told us Rick Nelson had died. It was hard to believe because he was
so young and iconic as one of the rock n' roll dream idols.
We all grew up with Ozzie and Harriett.
Just about everyone liked Rick Nelson, not because he was
a great singer, but because he had appeal across the board.
He recorded country, rockabilly, rock 'n roll, even adult
contemporary such as Fools Rush In and Again,
sort of emulating the orchestrated/ 50s rock 'n roll sound
from Buddy Holly, who had been the first to use an orchestra
in his arrangements (or so I've read.)

Lately, I've expanded my collection adding 64 more songs
by Rick Nelson to the late 1950s-early 60s section.
I didn't realize he had recorded a lot of covers.

Here's one of them, recorded by Peggy March in '63.

Frankie Laine
 

The first time I heard Frankie Laine's
That's My Desire I was swept.
It was such a far departure from his western themes
like Rawhide and a version of High Noon among others.
"Desire" was Laine's signature song and it's
interesting to listen to the different ways
he recorded it starting in the late 40s.
Here are two versions he recorded in
1957 and '58 where the latter has a little more doo wop.
"Desire" is a great ballad; I agree with the commentary
on the video as being Laine's best effort.
