Suzi Quatro's Heroes of Rock 'n' Roll

on BBC Radio 2

4/6. Radio 2's resident rocker Suzi Quatro continues her look at six established greats of rock'n'roll and pop with radio and TV star-turned-pop-idol Ricky Nelson, whose distinctively relaxed and creamy vocal sound translated into phenomenal record sales throughout the late 50's and early 60's. His many immaculately produced discs include Poor Little Fool and Travelling Man (both US number ones), Hello Mary Lou, Lonesome Town (featured in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction), It's Late, It's up to You and Fools Rush in. Session guitarist James Burton discusses his solo work on Nelson's recordings, and Tim Rice recalls growing up with the hits. Plus an archive interview with Ricky Nelson, who died in 1985, aged 45.
