The Nelsons

Posted May 27, 2007, 3:07 pm in Music by Growing Bolder


Former teen idols Matthew and Gunnar Nelson come from one of the most famous show biz families in history. Their grandfather, Ozzie Nelson, had a No. 1 big band hit in the 1930s, their father, Ricky Nelson, had three No. 1 hits in the 1960s and they had a No. 1 hit in the '90s.

That makes the Nelsons the only family in history to have No. 1 hits in three successive generations.

Matthew and Gunnar talked to Growing Bolder about keeping their father's music alive on the new album, "A Song for My Father," in which children of music legends pay tribute to their fathers.
