About the song
If you are a fan of classic rock and roll, you might be familiar with the song **You Are the Only One** by **Ricky Nelson**. This song was released as a single in 1960 and reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was also featured on Nelson’s album **More Songs by Ricky**, which was his third studio album.
The song was written by **Baker Knight**, a songwriter who also wrote hits for Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and others. Knight said that he wrote the song after meeting a girl named Linda Bennett at a party. He was so smitten with her that he asked her to sing on the record with Nelson. She agreed, and they recorded the song together at Capitol Studios in Hollywood.
The song is a catchy and upbeat tune that expresses the narrator’s love and devotion for his partner. He sings that she is the only one for him, and that they have had a lot of fun together. He also promises to be faithful and loyal to her, and to never make her cry. The song has a simple structure, with a chorus that repeats four times, and a bridge that features a guitar solo by Nelson.
The song is one of Nelson’s most popular and enduring songs, and it has been covered by many artists, such as The Everly Brothers, Connie Francis, Bobby Vee, and others. It is also considered one of the early examples of the teen idol genre, which Nelson helped pioneer along with other singers like Elvis Presley and Pat Boone.
