Ricky Nelson (8 May 1940 – 31 December 1985) was an American rock 'n' roll star and actor.
At age sixteen, he wanted to impress his girlfriend and, although he had no record contract at the time, told her that he, too, was going to make a record. With his father's help, he secured a one-record deal with Verve Records. Before the single was released, he made his television rock-and-roll debut on April 10, 1957, singing and playing the drums to "I'm Walkin'" in the Ozzie and Harriet episode "Ricky, the Drummer". -- adapted from Wikipedia
Young Ricky of Ozzie and Harriet
Arrived, as it were, on a chariot;
He had help from his dad
In a way that’s not had
By folks in the mere proletariat.
