BEHIND THE SONG

Inspiration and background

Researched recording background

Jerry Livingston and Mack David wrote the ballad recorded by Ricky Nelson for Imperial. In 1960 it was paired with Right by My Side. The documented writing and release credits distinguish the composition from Nelson's performance; they do not establish a specific relationship as the reason it was written.
