Travelin' Man
First released in 1960 · Album: Rick Is 21
“Travelin’ Man” (1961) is one of Ricky Nelson’s best-known songs, and his first #1 pop hit. Co-writer Jerry Fuller originally intended it for Sam Cooke, but Nelson ended up recording it. The upbeat tune lists a different girl in every city the narrator visits. Nelson’s smooth teen idol delivery turned it into one of the year’s biggest hits.
