Ricky Nelson "Be-Bop Baby" Imperial Gold Record Award (1958)....

Description

Ricky Nelson "Be-Bop Baby" Imperial Gold Record Award (1958). Ricky's first recording for Imperial turned out to be a smash, validating Lew Chudd's rush to get the teenager signed up after Verve Records, for whom Nelson recorded his first two records, dawdled at getting a contract signed and tucked away. "Be-Bop Baby" went to #3 and stayed on the Top 100 for 20 weeks. As Ricky would often do over the years, he recorded an older standard for the flip side, "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You", which peaked at #29. Very nice and bright Gold Record that stands out among the others we're offering.
