"Travelin' Man" is an American popular song, best known as a 1961 hit single sung by #RickyNelson. Singer-songwriter #JerryFuller wrote it with #SamCooke in mind, but Cooke's manager was unimpressed and did not keep the demo, which eventually wound up being passed along to Nelson. His version reached No. 1 on the #Billboard #Hot100. It was released as a #doubleAside with "#HelloMaryLou", which reached No. 9 on the same chart. In the #UnitedKingdom, "Travelin' Man".
