I was walking down an alley the other day, and I saw a trashcan with a record cover sticking out. Turns out it was Elvis Golden Records! Grabbed it out, slapped it into my vinyl record player. Not a scratch on it. I was so happy. Great day.
Saddest song I ever heard! Elvis delivers it perfectly! But then I would not expect anything less from Elvis. There is so much feeling in his music and especially in this song.
you know you are right a little and I really Like Andy Kaufmans version. do you know of any songs that andy sings or does he just sing a few cause I tried to look and I could not find more than bout 4 songs.
I used to listen to this on my little Mickey Mouse record player. I haven't heard it since, and I have a lot of his music. It was nice to finally hear it again.
if elvis didn't get into the movies and continued his fifties career, i wouldn't think he would get into a mess he had in the 70's..and elvis would just be elvis..no jumpsuits..no shades...just him:)
Great video! I remember Elvis in his early years. He was a totally different Elvis then than the the Elvis in the 70's who was pushed beyond his limits. He was torn between the love for his fans, and the relentless schedule the Colonel imposed upon him, which ruined his health. It's too bad he didn't retire when he was young and in good health. When you compare the early jam session video of "Thats alright Mama", and his latter appearances, you can see what I mean. He is missed.
In my opinion Elvis did his best work before he joined the army. It just wasn't the same afterwards. Perhaps both of us grew up a bit. Wish he was still with us.
The single had a 7-week stay on Billboards Top 100 chart, peaking at #58. It was the B-side to All Shook Up.'All shook up' was #1 on Billboard Top 20 Pop Singles,Top 20 Country Singles and Top 20 R&B Singles.
This has always been one of my most favorite songs that Elvis ever recorded. Elvis easily has the very best rendition of this song. Elvis had a voice like no other. Elvis would be extremely proud of you. You're a true Elvis fan and you make such perfect Elvis videos each and every time, 10 Stars as always Jackie.
This version is available on The 50 Greatest Love Songs, Elvis Golden Records, and The King of Rock n Roll-The Complete 50s Masters, which is where this version is from.
Written by William J. Raskin, Billy Hill, and Fred Fisher. Elvis recorded it January 13, 1957 at Radio Recorders in Hollywood. Take #7 was selected by RCA for release. The single had a 7-week stay on Billboards Top 100 chart, peaking at #58. It was the B-side to All Shook Up. Elvis also recorded this song on January 4, 1954 at Sun Records when he recorded his first acetate, My Happiness
@Jackiej61too Great information. Radio Recorders?? I wonder if Thornie Nogar recorded and mixed this. This is one of his best IMO because of his phrasing and the candidly pure Elvis dialogue. The vocalism at 2:53 in is something I remember listening for on the AM transistor or the vinyl '45. ....yes, that many years ago.

One of my very favourite Elvis records , his diction is fantastic and the record production is outstanding.
One curious point however is that it reminds a bit ofan English song by Gracie Fields called "Sally in our Alley"!!

Songs like this and "Any way you want me", "Love me Tender" "Love me Tender"
"Loving You" showd way back then that he could sing as well as Sinatra, Bennent ect. but no one wanted to admit it.
