Ricky Nelson returns to the Music Box today with a song that was issued as the B-side to Travelin Man. Hello Mary Lou was written by Gene Pitney, and first performed by Johnny Duncan in 1960. Rickys version came out in 1961, and while the A-Side was an instant hit, the B-Side picked up steam on its own. Travelin Man became Rickys second #1 hit single, while Hello Mary Lou peaked at #9 on the Hot 100. The song was included on Ricks 1961 album, Rick Is 21. It was at this time he dropped the y from his name and became Rick Nelson.
