This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #TravelSongs. This is the first song that I thought of:
Ricky Nelson: Travelin' Man (1961)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGlOuYVTEX4Jerry Fuller originally wrote the song for Sam Cooke, but Cooke's business partner J.W. Alexander turned it down. Happily, the offices of Imperial Records were next door, and the song went to Nelson, who had a #1 hit with it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx3k23EKiTsAlthough he never had a hit record, Johnny Copeland was a great singer, and this is one of my favorite 45s by him.
