Anyone who thinks this song is Elvis' needs a reality check. Elvis was a performer not a songwriter. He just copied and recorded other's music. Sure he put on a great show but he was hardly the quality of any of the Beatles. They are simply the best rock and roll group that changed the world (Larry King's words not mine). The truth is Elvis was jealous of the Beatles because he could not match their musical talent. They could play and sing simultaneously. He could not. So he made movies instead.
I think as a backing band they do a better job here than the band on Elvis's original single. It's much punchier. The original was too gentle. On the other hand, obviously hard to compete with Elvis's vocal...
What a way of meeting people and get to see their talent. At first was reluctant being on youtube, but getting to do this has brought me into the houses of some very special people. You are one of them. Life; isn't it wonderful!
Keep up the good work. Hope You Are Having A Splendid Day!
Nobody can touch Elvis' original or Scotty Moore's licks but this is a fantastic tribute to it. Nobody could have nailed it better. Thanks for sharing.
when i listen to this brand of beatles, it seems as if time stands still and it is a wonderful thing. makes me want to go back in time and hear it on the radio for the first time
@CentraCross Well I would dissagree with you ..even Sir Paul would tell you Elvis was the King ..he loved Elvis and when they met ..he sat and watched Elvis play his double bass guitar ..need to say he was impressed :)
the beatles covering a elvis song?? hell no

Here you can hear what Hamburg did to their super performance. Just steady as a rock.
Think Elvis could have used them as a backing group :)

With all respect to Elvis - Sir Paul McCartney is the Greatest in popular music.

Esto no es de la BBC, es parte de las sesiones de Get Back en 1969 se nota en el sonido de los instrumentos y en la voz de Macca...

No one is more qualified than The Beatles to reproduce Elvis' classic song; these guys truly are the best.
