Plot: Looks at the life and career of rock & roll's first teenage idol, from his meteoric rise as a young rockabilly heartthrob in the late 1950's, to his 70's country-rock comeback with "Garden Party", his tragic death in a flaming plane wreck on New Year's Eve, 1985 -- and his posthumous induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Rick's one-of-a-kind story is told by his family, friends and fellow musicians, including his brother, David, and his four children, Tracy, Mathew, Gunnar, and Sam Nelson
