Page "Ricky Nelson" Paragraph 22

While Nelson preferred rockabilly and uptempo rock songs like " Believe What You Say " ( Hot 100 # 4 ), " I Got a Feeling " (# 10 ), " My Bucket's Got a Hole in It " (# 12 ), " Hello Mary Lou " (# 9 ), " It's Late " (# 9 ), " Stood Up " (# 2 ), " Waitin ' in School " (# 18 ), " Be-Bop Baby " (# 3 ), and " Just a Little Too Much " (# 9 ), his smooth, calm voice made him a natural to sing ballads.

He had major success with " Travelin ' Man " (# 1 ), " A Teenager's Romance " (# 2 ), " Poor Little Fool " (# 1 ), " Young World " (# 5 ), " Lonesome Town " (# 7 ), " Never Be Anyone Else But You " (# 6 ), " Sweeter Than You " (# 9 ), " It's Up to You " (# 6 ), and " Teenage Idol " (# 5 ), which clearly could have been about Nelson himself.
