Have you discovered his twin sons’ band, Nelson? They are pretty much considered a punchline now, but back in 1990 they were a big deal.

If you read my comment, it is what my parents told me, and their’s was a first hand account.

Want to know what MJ was like in concert, ask people who were there.

ricky nelson was my mom's pop idol.

But it wasn’t your generational experience. I can talk about what it was like living during Michael Jackson’s time as an artist but I can’t say about any singer that died before I was even born.

My comment provided insight, based on generational experience.

So you only talk about, or have knowledge in, stuff that happened in your lifetime?

I’m sure most people who were around when Ricky Nelson was alive are in a retirement home and aren’t on Reddit.

I think the OP came for a discussion, not directions to the library.

He was before my time, but my parents told me that he was really huge.

He was one of the first Nepo baby’s, but he actually had talent.

He had the benefit of exposure in that America watched him grow up on TV, so when he picked up a guitar, it was natural that his fans would migrate to him as a musical artist.

He was also clean cut, and after that 12 months of wild Presley between 55 and 56, if you were not clean-cut, you were not going anywhere.

Yep thank you I thought so, when my sister said it’s a Mozart song I told her no it’s River flows in you.

Not a Mozart song, it's a standard internet bullshit.

Song sounds classical-y, so for a non-educated listener it can be easy to believe it's a Mozart song. Music of Angels is one of the cheesiest names for a song in that genre

It's just somebody's illiteral or a purposeful false song title became too popular

Mozart - Music of angels does not exist. He has nothing to do with it, but this has been going on for more than ten years and I would love to know how the hell did it start. There are even people who upload their own covers and are convinced that "first it was composed by Mozart, and then Yiruma has made it". One channel even called it Mozart's sixth symphony for some reason.

There are some channels on Youtube that used to take a random popular song, create a slideshow of pictures to it, and ask for donations in the description. They wrongly atributed the song to a classical composer whose works are in the public domain, probably to evade the copyright detection at the time.

Or the whole idea was to clickbait with known composers and generate ad revenue from the videos?

Maybe these channels have something to do with the fact that today, people like you are confused.

Can you link it?

So how did the song got confused and named Mozart Music of Angels?

It's not a Mozart song

They sound the same to me. I don't recognize it as anything by Mozart. Doesn't sound like Mozart at all to me.

Bloodkin - End of the Show

Jackson Browne: The Load Out/Stay

Kid A - Radiohead I guess you can count it; "I will see you in the next life"

David Bowie's Rock n Roll Suicide was a fantastic end to Ziggy Stardust.

I genuinely thought it would be very easy for someone to mistake it for female vocals so I commented it anyway and I’m glad did
