Whilst dating with a girl who swooned over an Elvis song playing on the radio, Ricky Nelson, star of the hit TV show Ozzie Harriet decided to go into a recording studio, and did his own cover of Fats Dominos I'm Walkin' which was aired on the show and a career in music was launched as I'm Walkin' went to 2 on the Billboard Chart. Through the novel power of television, Ricky Nelson became one of the first artists that audiences saw and heard simultaneously. He would perform a song at the end of every show.
