I like them all, too hard to choose. I have the box set released a few years back, this is great! Stephen Collins of "Seventh Heaven" does a great job singing his songs, too.:)

One song that is quite underrated and rarely discussed is " Your Kind of Loving". I had the song on a 45 when I was a teenager ( I had all of his 45's)and recently downloaded it onto my IPOD. If you have the chance, listen to it.

"Your Kind of Lovin'" was the song Rick sang on his first (and only) appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show. He also sang it on a couple Ozzie and Harriet shows. One of the tapes I have shows him singing the song in color, another one is b&w, but they're both the same footage. I think most people forgot the song because it wasn't on an album. It's on the Ace CD Rick Rarities, came out in 2004.

Thanks for the information. I remember that Ed Sullivan appearance.

Our local PBS station was carrying reruns of the Ed Sullivan shows a few years back, I taped the one Rick was on. I'm surprised he was only on that one time, I know he didn't appear on any other shows while O&H was on the air, but I would've thought he'd do the Sullivan show a few times during the Stone Canyon Band era. He did the Tonight Show a couple times, the Johnny Cash Show, Mike Douglas, Jim Nabors, Rollin' on the River.
