Going to stick to my Friday post and not going to play this week in hopes of gathering more interest and time for others to join and enjoy your very nice efforts.

21 (as in the album title, "Rick is 21.") But on the last album he released before his death ("All My Best" (1985), which consists of re-recorded oldies plus one new song), he used "Ricky" again.

Just to get some conversation going... I've noticed that after Ricky makes the change to Rick there are several times you can hear Harriet or Ozzie, mainly I've heard Harriet, calling him Ricky. Which I love 'cause it's so real to life. There's always some kid who's Billy or Bobby, Joey, or Ricky in this case, who when they get older want there name to reflect that yet their parents and siblings still fall back on the old childhood name.

Correct, nice complete answer, extra credit given. LOL.
