Thank you my audiophile friend SGT (Join to see) for posting the music video of Ricky Nelson performing Sharon Sheeley's song 'Poor Little Fool' in honor of the fact that on August 4, 1958, Billboard introduced 'The Hot 100 Singles Chart', Ricky Nelson was at No.1 with 'Poor Little Fool'."
Rest in peace Ricky Nelson [December 31, 1985, De Kalb, TX in a plane crash]

'Poor Little Fool' written by Sharon Sheeley
I used to play around with hearts
That hastened at my call
But when I met that little girl
I knew that I would fall
Poor little fool, oh yeah
I was a fool, uh-huh
(Uh-huh, poor little fool)
(I was a fool, oh yeah)
She'd play around and tease me
With her carefree devil eyes
She'd hold me close and kiss me
But her heart was full of lies
Poor little fool, oh yeah
I was a fool, uh-huh
(Uh-huh, poor little fool)
(I was a fool, oh yeah)
She told me how she cared for me
And that we'd never part
And so for the very first time
I gave away my heart
Poor little fool, oh yeah
I was a fool, uh-huh
(Uh-huh, poor little fool)
(I was a fool, oh yeah)
The next day she was gone
And I knew she'd lied to me
She left me with a broken heart
And won her victory
Poor little fool, oh yeah
I was a fool, uh-huh
(Uh-huh, poor little fool)
(I was a fool, oh yeah)
Well, I played this game with other hearts
But I never thought I'd see
The day when someone else would play
Love's foolish game with me
Poor little fool, oh yeah
I was a fool, uh-huh
(Uh-huh, poor little fool)
(I was a fool, oh yeah)
Poor little fool, oh yeah
I was a fool, uh-huh
(Uh-huh, poor little fool)
(Poor little fool)"

Pretty sure he debuted this song on the Ozzie and Harriet Show. If not he certainly sang it on some episode because I remember watching it.

I think you are right. I saw his brother in the audience. Was that Donna Reed at about 1:30 in the audience as well? Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen
