Ricky is the debut album by American actor and rock and roll musician Ricky

focusing mostly on standards. The album topped the Billboard's Top LP's.
Eric Hilliard Nelson(May 8, 1940 – December 31, 1985) was an American
rock and roll star, musician, and singer-songwriter. From age eight he starred
alongside his family in the radio and television series The Adventures of Ozzie
and Harriet. In 1957 he began a long and successful career
as a popular recording artist. As
one of the top "teen idols" of the 1950s his fame led to a motion
picture role co-starring alongside John Wayne and Dean Martin in Howard Hawks's
western feature film Rio Bravo(1959). He placed 53 songs on the Billboard Hot
100, and its predecessors, between 1957 and 1973, including "Poor Little
Fool" in 1958, which was the first #1 song on Billboard magazine's
then-newly created Hot 100 chart. He recorded 19 additional Top 10 hits and was
inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on January 21, 1987. In 1996
Nelson was ranked #49 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest TV Stars of All Time.
Nelson began his
entertainment career in 1949 playing himself in the radio sitcom series The
Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. In
1952, he appeared in his first feature film, Here Come the Nelsons. In 1957, he
recorded his first single, debuted as a singer on the television version of the
sitcom, and released the #1 album titled Ricky. In 1958, Nelson released his
first #1 single, "Poor Little Fool", and in 1959 received a Golden
Globe nomination for "Most Promising Male Newcomer" after starring in
Rio Bravo. A few films followed, and when the television
series was cancelled in 1966, Nelson made occasional appearances as a guest
star on various television programs.
Nelson and Sharon Kristin Harmon were married on April 20, 1963, and
divorced in December 1982. They had four children: Tracy Kristine, twin sons Gunnar
Eric and Matthew Gray, and Sam Hilliard.
A be bop baby a be bop baby a be bop baby she's the gal for me
She got plenty of rhythm got plenty of jive and when we dance we really
come alive
My love for her's so tender and sweet my heart starts poundin' ev'ry
time we meet
A be bop baby still in her teens just as sweet as she can be
A be bop baby in her old blue jeans is the be bop baby for me a be bop
baby for me
A be bop baby a be bop baby a be bop baby she's the gal for me
I'm gonna find her tonight we're gonna have a time
I want that baby to be mine all mine
A big day's comin' for my baby and me the day she says she belongs to me
A be bop baby still in her teens just as sweet as she can be
A be bop baby in her old blue jeans is the be bop baby for me a be bop
baby for me
A be bop baby a be bop baby a be bop baby she's the gal for me
I'm gonna find her tonight...
