Ricky Sings Spirituals is an EP by American singer Ricky Nelson. It was released in February 1960 and contains four gospel songs. Jimmie Haskell arranged the album and Charles "Bud" Dant produced it.
Nelson's only EP, it was inspired by Elvis Presley's devotion to gospel music.[1] It didn't come from his own religious upbringing, which was nonexistent and may have been Ozzie Nelson's idea (Ozzie wrote one of the songs, even though he didn't practice any organized religion).[1] The EP includes a Baker Knight tune, "Glory Train", but it was a commercial failure and an out-of-character footnote to his fifties rock & roll.[1] According to Nelson, he wasn't trying to copy Presley by recording an EP of spiritual songs, but he understood that he "was welcomed as a cleaned up Elvis."[2]
