Just been reading Last Train To Memphis and in the book Gordon Stoker of The Jordanaires said he didn't think Elvis could sing UNTIL he heard him sing this at the New York session where they recorded it. This song is as wild as the raging sea !!
This is a beautiful song, sung by a beautiful, handsome, generous, kind hearted, humble man, I would accept him anyway he was, Loved his for ever and will love him until I leave this earth and even then will take something Elvis with me, God Bless you Elvis for all the wonderful time I spent listening to your beautiful voice,
@elvis3813 You are right hun Elvis is forever, he has so many loyal and true fans they will pass Elvis down to their children and all his tribute artists will keep his memory alive. Love him, yesterday, today, tomorrow and always.

Most of the still pictures were taken by famed photographer Al Wertheimer who was assigned by RCA in 1956 to follow Elvis around and photograph him. One of the most famous pictures is called the Kiss or the Tongue Kiss the photographer came around the corner, and saw Elvis on the stairs with a still unknown girl so he started snapping candid shots. Some call these the sexiest pictures ever shot--they're good alright!
The girl in the polka dot dress is one of his girlfriends at the time Barbara Hearn. She didn't know these pictures of her with Elvis were in books and galleries until recent years.
Well that's because the colonel is a man without honor! A dishonorable & despicable man and Elvis was simply greatful taking things step by step because he knew the great poverty he had been fortunate to escape! For Elvis life wasn't about material things, but for human they are!! Elvis cared more about genuine spiritual growth and development!
The lady in these photo's is Barbara Hearn. I know her personally and will be having dinner with her tomorrow night and will show her the clip - she will love it! Thanks for sharing....
This man is a LEGEND and is the greatest singer/performer of all time. I became an Elvis fan at the age of 5 just by seeing him on tv. No one is like the KING!!! He is a legend...and a legend LIVES FOREVER!
dont you dare taint my memory of this great man you are NOT an elvis fan,proberly some dumb a**e kid who watches tarrentino films leave elvis to the 53yr old woman who loved him.
<3 i absolutely love elvis! you're right that he is a wonderful man, however i would like to say that i'm fifteen and don't think it's fair to call kids "dumb a**es" when we can be just as passionate and knowledgeable about topics esp. those regarding elvis. haha. thanks for understanding where i'm coming from.
Elvis often made it difficult to understand lyrics because he got them wrong. This song would only makes sense if he had sung "to take and to 'MOLD' as you may."
The woman in this clip, IS Barbara Hearn, she is my mother. The photo's were taken July 4th, 1956. The song they were dancing and listening to was "Don't be Cruel". As for any comments that were made in "Life" magazine, those are not factual, and completely inaccurate, not to mention in poor taste on the writers part. Anything to sell a magazine I suppose. Just thought I'd clear that misconception up for any other viewers.
July 2nd in NYC Elvis recorded Hound Dog, Don't Be Cruel and Any Way You Want Me. He immediately took a train to Memphis, carrying acetates of the recordings, so he could easily have been there July 4th. Elvis and Barbara (what a classy girl!) would've likely listened, possibly danced, to all three acetates. Elvis's grandmother, Minnie Mae Presley, not his mother Gladys, was in the room with Barbara and Elvis.
tell us about it!! what was your mom doing with him. was she a fan or girlfriend. i bought the book that these pics came from "Elvis 21, New York to Memphis" fantasic book... god, what a man
@Nikki3653 Fun to read your comment setting the record straight. You've got to know your mother will be a beloved part of the Elvis pop culture forever. Tell us more of how all of this has impacted your mother....and you. Thanks.

How the hell can you miss him? You probably just want to miss him. Don't take this to heart, but it sounds daft when someone says they miss someone or something that they never really had.
he was a great looking guy who turn into one hunk of a handsome man.i except him for what he was; a actor singer and the kind hearted man that he was. thanks for sharing your video.
I dont know if it is June or not,but if it is, she is June Juanico, his first real love and the girl his mom wanted him to marry.June never fell out of love with Elvis and wrote a beautiful book titled something like "Elvis:In the Twilight of Memory".she always believed one day she and Elvis would get back together.His career and fame took him away from her.
The girl's name was/is Barbara Hearn, a girlfriend. Allegedly Elvis was flirting with her(to this song!) but she was a little shy because Gladys was nearby and in the pictures of Elvis sitting in the chair with her nearby he was "sulking." So says LIFE magazine anyway. Great song.
He was THE hottest guy I've ever seen. Hands down. that smile, those eyes, that hair, the voice. He was just an A+. Many try to be him, but in the end he was the one and only. There will never be another man like him. and it makes me sad :(
he was the most handsomest of men this is comin from a straight guy he just had it whatever it is he had it spades and still the best voice ever created shame he never ever learnt to write songs
Now this is Elvis at his very best I think! No doubt! Raw, young and powerful voice...nothin of that early/mid 60s and 70s crap! Like the 68 comeback though...the part with Scotty Moore and the other guys :)
some of Elvis' best music came from the 1970s. Burning Love is one of his all-time greats. The Wonder Of You, Way Down, Moody Blue, TROUBLE, There's A Honky Tonk Angel, not to mention his version of Promised Land (which is much better than the original). Presleys 1970's material, as popular as it was at the time, is underrated and contains gems equal to his 1950s output.
All women loved him and men everywhere wanted to be him! He was envied by everyone! MPE72, you are right all of the pictures are smokin' hot! He's the hottest man ever! He lives for an eternity!
This is great! Some of these pictures I haven't seen before, the song is great too! Elvis was very young here, I loved him always and always will. The best performer of all time, just a real down to earth guy, loved by everyone. Beautiful man, charisma, sexy, he had the total package. Long Live the King! TCB.

an inside stateroom on a ship going to Hawaii while the Col.
had a huge suite with a balcony...he didn't know any better,
and the Col. took a big chunk of money and Elvis was left with
the leftovers. I call that innocent....I would have been pissed.
