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. In His Twenties He Moved Away From The Pop Music Of His Youth And Began To Perform In A More Country Rock Style. After Recording Several Albums With Mostly Session Musicians Most Of Which Flopped He Formed The Stone Canyon Band In 1969 And Experienced A Career Resurgence Buoyed By The Live Album In Concert At The Troubadour 1969 And Had A Surprise Hit With 1972's "Garden Party" Which Peaked At Number Six On The Billboard Hot 100. His Comeback Was Short-Lived However As His Record Label Was Bought Out And Folded And His Followup Albums Were Not Well Promoted By His New Label. He Continued To Perform Live And Take Small Television Roles Through The 1970s Though His Label Dropped Him By The End Of The Decade. He Released Two More Albums With Unimpressive Results Before His Death In A Plane Crash On New Year's Eve 1985. Nelson Was Married Once To Sharon Kristin Harmon From 1963 Until Their Divorce In 1982. They Had Four Children Actress Tracy Nelson Twin Sons And Musicians Gunnar And Matthew And Actor Sam. Nelson Was Born On May 8 1940 In Teaneck New Jersey.

On May 8 1961 his 21st Birthday He Officially Modified His Recording Name From "Ricky Nelson" To "Rick Nelson". His Childhood Nickname Proved Hard To Shake Especially Among The Generation Who Had Watched Him Grow Up On "Ozzie And Harriet". Even In The 1980s When Nelson Realized His Dream Of Meeting Carl Perkins Perkins Noted That He And "Ricky" Were The Last Of The "rockabilly Breed". In 1963 Nelson Signed A 20-Year Contract With Decca Records. After Some Early Successes With The Label Most Notably 1964's "For You" #6 Nelson's Chart Career Came To A Dramatic Halt In The Wake Of Beatlemania The British Invasion And Later The Counterculture Era. However Instead Of Dropping Him Decca Kept Him On Board. In The Mid-1960s Nelson Began To Move Towards Country Music Becoming A Pioneer In The Country-Rock Genre. He Was One Of The Early Influences Of The So-Called "California Sound" which Would Include Singers Like Jackson Browne And Linda Ronstadt And Bands Such As Eagles . Yet Nelson Himself Did Not Reach The Top 40 Again Until 1970 When He Recorded Bob Dylan's "She Belongs To Me" With The Stone Canyon Band Featuring Randy Meisner Who In 1971 Became A Founding Member Of The Eagles And Former Buckaroo Steel Guitarist Tom Brumley.
