244-536: A B average. He played football at Hollywood High and represented the school in interscholastic tennis matches. Twenty-five years later, Nelson told the Los Angeles Weekly he hated school because it "smelled of pencils" and he was forced to rise early in the morning to attend.

In 1972, Nelson reached the Top 40 one last time with " Garden Party ," a song he wrote in disgust after a Richard Nader Oldies Concert at Madison Square Garden where the audience booed, perhaps against some unrelated police action.

1037-524: A stage act had also emerged with Kidd and the Pirates dressed as actual pirates.

In

1281-645: The Garden Party album. Nelson still played nightclubs and bars, but he soon advanced to higher-paying venues because of the success of Garden Party. In 1974, MCA was unsure as to what to do with the former teen idol. Albums like Windfall failed to have an impact. Nelson became an attraction at theme parks like Knott's Berry Farm and Disneyland . He also started appearing in minor roles on television shows. Nelson tried to score another hit but did not have any luck with songs like "Rock and Roll Lady." With seven years to go on his contract, MCA dropped him from

1464-590: The Army (1960), which was popular enough to give rise to a TV series (in which Nelson did not appear).

1647-508: The Nelsons. The film was a hit, and Ozzie was convinced the family could make the transition from radio's airwaves to television's small screen.

2135-512: The last of the "rockabilly breed". In 1963, Nelson signed a 20-year contract with Decca Records .
