one of hank garland creatave licks will always be part of little sister.in hank garland log book it shows hank was paid as arrainger .elvis knew hank could put hook in the song that would make it a no 1 HIT hank was a master at hooks. BILLY GARLAND
I just love how this was recorded the old fashioned way...live! The musicians didn't have all the multi-track recording and computers to fix things, they just kicked butt!
true classic Little sister loved the original version and i also loved when he revisited it in Vegas in 69 - 70 where he twined it with get back really great version also
mostank: Dern girl....you graduated Dartmouth? Wow. I can't get my reply screen on email to reply. Somtimes I have problems with my modem that causes it. Anyhow, thanks for the email. I went to college at one of your schools rivals. Will tell when I can email back. Have fun and watch out for diaper boy who is gonna post blah blah blah proof of something that don't exist. What a terd and a goofball. See ya later.
mostank: It was six times they reached #2 without a #1. I have read five too but the Billboard book 1954-present documents it. It is kinda funny that CCR was so good and never had a chart topping song. Then you got groups that sucked that had #1's. Go figure. Elvis had 6 #2's too but he had 18 #1's. Elvis spent more time at the top of the charts than any other act in history. Don't worry about me and that idiot who knows nothing. He is a joke and needs his diaper changed. Bwahahaha.

haha wow you are retarded if you think wikipedia is 100 fact,so many things on wikipedia are wrong,as i said i will provide video proof wiki isnt a reliable source for anything you idiot,if beatles sucked they wouldnt be number one in sales all time in history more proof how ignorant you are im starting my second year in college stupid old woman.

there is video proof i like proving idiots like you wrong,nothing more pathetic than someone like you who starts crap online with someone who never said one word to you before,ur nothing but a troublemaker and you are no lady since you curse talk like trash cause thats what you are.when i post my video proof i will message you just to prove how stupid you are.
What are the sources that indicate Moore was the guitar player here? Definitely ws not him on the finished product - the one released by the studio. Even without the documentation that I have viewed, I can tell that's not Scotty playing - there's a a certain lick on the recording that is not Scotty's style - he could not have done that - no disrespect to Scotty - he's the best, but everyone has his own style, and this playing was not his style.
i dont think elvis does it best the beatles get back went to number one in 10 countries elvis song little sister didnt go to number one at all i think that proves which version is better.
Elvis went #1 in the UK with Little Sister and on the back was "HIs Latest Flame in 1961. A double sided hit in Beatle land. Anyhow it doesn't make any difference who, where and what went to #1. Creedence Clearwater Revival never had a #1 and they are one of the best ever. Blueberry Hill never hit #1 and it is one of the staples of the 50's. Plenty of great songs and performers with no #1's. I never saw the big deal about the beatles anyhow. Must have been the drug culture helping them.

cc had a number one hit in 1969 with green river it knocked brown sugar off the top,elvis didnt write little sister or his latest flame unlike the beatles who wrote their number one hits and composed them,thats what makes the beatles better than elvis the fact that they wrote and composed their own number ones elvis didnt write a single song he sung.
CCR never ever had a #1 hit on the Billboard top 100. They had 6 #2's but no #1's. The Beatles weren't even the best group let alone best ever. Aerosmith, The original Lynyrd Skynyrd are easily better than the beatles. There are plenty of bands better than the beatles ever were. Elvis was and is still the best entertainer who ever lived. The world knows it and they prove it when they continue to buy his records which by the way if stacked 4 deep could stretch from Memphis to the moon.

you are justr showing how ignorant you are now,if the bee gees and led zeppelin were better than the beatles they would have sold more look it up beatles are number one in sales all time led zeppelin is a distant second,you already proved how ignorant you are though saying ccr didnt have a number one when i proved they did with green river.
You are an idiot. CCR never had a #1 with Green, blue or red river. They had 6 #2's but NO #1's. Show your proof then , skippy. Sales do not prove who is the best either, Opinion does. You are just stupid and you tend to soil me. Get your hooked on phonics lesson before you go back to junior high in the fall. From what I see you need it, junior.

ccr did have a number 1 i have video proof on american bandstand dick clark shows green river knocking off the stones honkytonk woman for the number one spot,the beatles have the numbers to back up why they are the best and why they are number one,and more proof how ignorant you are i use words like u and ur to save on character limityou retard,i will post the video proof of american bandstand to prove ur retarded ass wrong.
Dick Clark is NOT Billboard, dummy. Again once more and I will type it slower this time....CCR NEVER HAD A #1 ON THE BILLBOARD TOP 100. They had 6 #2's. That is a well known and common fact, Mr. Stupid. Everytime you post it makes you look dumber, you do realize that don't you? How can you think you are smart when you don't even know common facts about music history? Now it is "Honkytonk Woman" when a couple of posts ago it was "Brown Sugar" knocked off. LOL You are too ignorant, junior!

dick clark was showing the billboard list though you retard it wasnt his list,i checked the video and it was honkytonk woman that was my mistake but i am right that it went to number 1 you pussy.
Getting close to back to school time for you. Does your school system still give tours of the classrooms you will be in when your parents buy your books a couple days before school starts? I bet field trips have gotten a lot more expensive too with fuel prices being so high. You will be in 7th grade this year so you better study hard. Junior high teachers won't pass you just because they don''t want to have to see you again next year. You had better get Hooked on Phonics, junior.

This is the last message to you because of your ignorance. They make books that documents every #1 song since Billboard started. Buy one. Also get the CCR story and you will see they match. NO #1's. Why don't you do research so you don't look so ignorant, junior. Dick Clark never showed a Billboard list. I watched American Bandstand lots of times before, snapperhead. Again, start focusing on your school work. Those 7th grade teachers aren't going to let your ignorant ass slide. Goofball.

yeah so according to yur logic honky tonk woman never went to number one eitbher huh since that was what was number one when green river knocked it off the top.
@elvispresley718 The beatles created the drug culture that supported them, dummy. If you played "if I only had a brain" then you would know what you're talking about.
funny how you say the beatles stole it from elvis when elvis didnt write or compose a single song he recorded.he sang songs other people wrote and composed.
Elvis had the potential to write songs but his manager kept him so busy with the movies and the soundtracks and then the concerts later on, that he didn't have the time to try his hand seriously on writing songs. Songwriting can take a lot of time, effort and thought. Elvis cowrote a couple of tunes with Red West in the early 60s and he might have continued on that path. But, that was about the time his manager committed him to making four or five movies per year and their soundtracks.
i think if elvis was a writer he would have written songs before he was ever recording music or ever had a manager so that comment by u is a load of crap.elvis couldnt write or he wouldnt have been singing crap like old mcdonald had a farm.
I said he had the potential, not that he could write. But, as for writing songs before he ever started recording or had a manager, that's true but there were other performers who only started writing after they had made it. Ringo Starr for one. He had some shared credits with the other Beatles but didn't have a writing credit all to himself until 1968. Some of the people who knew Elvis and worked for him, like Red, said he had the potential but he didn't have the time to develope that talent.
he didnt have potential at all and singing old mcdonald proved that,nobody would be singing that crap if they could write songs.ringo couldnt write and proof of that is the beatles writing songs for him after the beatles broke up.elvis didnt have the potential or the talent and if u ever made movies u know that there is alot of waiting around doing nothing on the set so he had plenty of time but that doesnt matter anyways cause he had years.
You don't seem to like Elvis very much and it's a waste of time debating as you won't change my opinion nor will I change yours. I thought 195477 was quite wrong in his assertions about the Beatles and said so. We have a difference of opinion about Elvis, which is where I will leave it at.
i like elvis very much but i know he couldnt write songs same with ringo im a big beatles fan but even i know ringo had no talent for writing and the other beatles wrote songs for him even when ringo got credit like on what goes on he added like 3 words to the song that was his credit on songwriting,so i dont think its opinion.
Ringo has over 100 songwriting credits with BMI, slightly less with ASCAP, though both lists share some of the same titles. "What Goes On" has always been suspect as far as Ringo's involvement, as some copies of the single only credited the song to J&P. But. it's not unusual for someone's name to be added after the fact. Maybe J&P or Brian felt bad about Ringo not having written any songs and added his name to "What Goes On," so he'd have some publishing money coming in.
ringo cant write everybody knows that even songs today are given credit to him and usually 1 or 2 other men who helkped him and i think ringos part is adding a few words here and there,but he has never been a writer even all things must pass he had since 63 and he had alot of help with it,besides writing songs is one thing and writing number one songs is another.
I'm not sure what Ringo's writing contributions to his songs are, where other writers are involved. But, I don't think it would be a word here or there while the others do all the work. Most songwriters are very hesitant about handing over part of their writing royalties, since that still is the smallest of the royalties handed out by the labels. And Ringo's sales aren't the kind to generate millions for the writers, so if Ringo was barely involved, don't think he'd take part of their money.
i disagree look at the song it dont come easy george wrote that song entirely and recorded it way before he ever offered it to ringo,it was given as full credit to ringo as was photograph even though george wrote that too,plus adding ringos name to what goes on when he only gave 3 words to the song shows that his friends didnt mine sharing contributions with ringo.
George, to my knowledge, never claimed to have written "It Don't Come Easy" or "Back Off Boogaloo," Ringo's other solo writing composition from '71. He produced and played most of the instruments on the songs but the songs don't exactly sound like the kind of songs George was writing at the time. As for "Photograph," the melody line sounds a little like "The Marines Hymn," but lyric wise, there's not that many and it sounds more like Ringo than George, George's lyrcs being more sophisticated.
george had already done it dont come easy before he even gave it to ringo,and ringo wasnt a writer or the other beatles wouldnt have helped him so much on his solo albums giving him songs.but i do believe ringo wrote back off boogaloo since it has very few words in the song and it just keeps repeating them,there is plenty of proof out there on bootlegs proving george wrote and composed it dont come easy.
Can you point to a particular bootleg or data from session files in which it can be shown that George wrote IDCE, before Ringo recorded the tune? Given that it's been almost four decades after the fact and that any dates listed on bootlegs aren't always the most reliable sources of information, George's work could've been working out the arrangement. Ringo played a little guitar and could've come up with the basics, leaving George to flesh out the arrangement.
yes i can the bootleg is called beware of abkco but my cd has bonus songs on it so i dont think its on all the versions of it.but george recorded it 2 years before ringo did,nah george already had the lyrics done too,and george doesnt get credit for photograph but how many words u think ringo really wrote for the songs he is listed to have written with george,who was the writer and who wasnt,doesnt take a genius to see all the years ringo didnt write,ringo wasnt a composer.
You may want to check out the Internet Beatles Album website. Their reference library has the details on how It Don't Come Easy was created. The information is from Mark Lewisohn's 1992 book Complete Beatle Chronicle. Work was started on the song on 18 February 1970 with George Martin producing. Harrison took over production reins in March and again in October of 1970. But, it does appear to have been Ringo's song from the start although there was a version with George on lead vocals!
You need to get off the Beatles stole this Elvis song, the Beatles stole that Elvis song. If they stole as much as you claim, don't you think the original songwriters would've filed lawsuits against them? The fact is, none of the songwriters whoever wrote songs for Elvis ever filed suit against the Beatles. And they would have if the Beatles had stolen from them. That's lost income but they never filed because the Beatles never stole anything from Elvis's writers!
The Beatles didn't steal the melody and aside from the lyrics, that is the only thing that can be stolen. The chord progressions used in the song can't be copyrighted as you are going to find a lot of songs with the same chord progression.
This was the first time that I had ever heard this. I always love hearing new Elvis recordings. Elvis' performance totally rocked in every way. Thank you so very much for sharing this rarity, 5 Stars.
The Beatles couldn't carry Elvis' jock strap.

i think if elvis was a writer he would have written songs before he was ever recording music or ever had a manager so that comment by u is a load of crap.elvis couldnt write or he wouldnt have been singing crap like old mcdonald had a farm.

I said he had the potential, not that he could write. But, as for writing songs before he ever started recording or had a manager, that's true but there were other performers who only started writing after they had made it. Ringo Starr for one. He had some shared credits with the other Beatles but didn't have a writing credit all to himself until 1968. Some of the people who knew Elvis and worked for him, like Red, said he had the potential but he didn't have the time to develope that talent.
Madrocker1954 3 years ago
he didnt have potential at all and singing old mcdonald proved that,nobody would be singing that crap if they could write songs.ringo couldnt write and proof of that is the beatles writing songs for him after the beatles broke up.elvis didnt have the potential or the talent and if u ever made movies u know that there is alot of waiting around doing nothing on the set so he had plenty of time but that doesnt matter anyways cause he had years.

You don't seem to like Elvis very much and it's a waste of time debating as you won't change my opinion nor will I change yours. I thought 195477 was quite wrong in his assertions about the Beatles and said so. We have a difference of opinion about Elvis, which is where I will leave it at.
Madrocker1954 3 years ago
i like elvis very much but i know he couldnt write songs same with ringo im a big beatles fan but even i know ringo had no talent for writing and the other beatles wrote songs for him even when ringo got credit like on what goes on he added like 3 words to the song that was his credit on songwriting,so i dont think its opinion.

Ringo has over 100 songwriting credits with BMI, slightly less with ASCAP, though both lists share some of the same titles. "What Goes On" has always been suspect as far as Ringo's involvement, as some copies of the single only credited the song to J&P. But. it's not unusual for someone's name to be added after the fact. Maybe J&P or Brian felt bad about Ringo not having written any songs and added his name to "What Goes On," so he'd have some publishing money coming in.

ringo cant write everybody knows that even songs today are given credit to him and usually 1 or 2 other men who helkped him and i think ringos part is adding a few words here and there,but he has never been a writer even all things must pass he had since 63 and he had alot of help with it,besides writing songs is one thing and writing number one songs is another.

I'm not sure what Ringo's writing contributions to his songs are, where other writers are involved. But, I don't think it would be a word here or there while the others do all the work. Most songwriters are very hesitant about handing over part of their writing royalties, since that still is the smallest of the royalties handed out by the labels. And Ringo's sales aren't the kind to generate millions for the writers, so if Ringo was barely involved, don't think he'd take part of their money.

i disagree look at the song it dont come easy george wrote that song entirely and recorded it way before he ever offered it to ringo,it was given as full credit to ringo as was photograph even though george wrote that too,plus adding ringos name to what goes on when he only gave 3 words to the song shows that his friends didnt mine sharing contributions with ringo.

George, to my knowledge, never claimed to have written "It Don't Come Easy" or "Back Off Boogaloo," Ringo's other solo writing composition from '71. He produced and played most of the instruments on the songs but the songs don't exactly sound like the kind of songs George was writing at the time. As for "Photograph," the melody line sounds a little like "The Marines Hymn," but lyric wise, there's not that many and it sounds more like Ringo than George, George's lyrcs being more sophisticated.
Madrocker1954 3 years ago
george had already done it dont come easy before he even gave it to ringo,and ringo wasnt a writer or the other beatles wouldnt have helped him so much on his solo albums giving him songs.but i do believe ringo wrote back off boogaloo since it has very few words in the song and it just keeps repeating them,there is plenty of proof out there on bootlegs proving george wrote and composed it dont come easy.

Can you point to a particular bootleg or data from session files in which it can be shown that George wrote IDCE, before Ringo recorded the tune? Given that it's been almost four decades after the fact and that any dates listed on bootlegs aren't always the most reliable sources of information, George's work could've been working out the arrangement. Ringo played a little guitar and could've come up with the basics, leaving George to flesh out the arrangement.
Madrocker1954 3 years ago
yes i can the bootleg is called beware of abkco but my cd has bonus songs on it so i dont think its on all the versions of it.but george recorded it 2 years before ringo did,nah george already had the lyrics done too,and george doesnt get credit for photograph but how many words u think ringo really wrote for the songs he is listed to have written with george,who was the writer and who wasnt,doesnt take a genius to see all the years ringo didnt write,ringo wasnt a composer.

You may want to check out the Internet Beatles Album website. Their reference library has the details on how It Don't Come Easy was created. The information is from Mark Lewisohn's 1992 book Complete Beatle Chronicle. Work was started on the song on 18 February 1970 with George Martin producing. Harrison took over production reins in March and again in October of 1970. But, it does appear to have been Ringo's song from the start although there was a version with George on lead vocals!

You need to get off the Beatles stole this Elvis song, the Beatles stole that Elvis song. If they stole as much as you claim, don't you think the original songwriters would've filed lawsuits against them? The fact is, none of the songwriters whoever wrote songs for Elvis ever filed suit against the Beatles. And they would have if the Beatles had stolen from them. That's lost income but they never filed because the Beatles never stole anything from Elvis's writers!
Madrocker1954 3 years ago
The Beatles didn't steal the melody and aside from the lyrics, that is the only thing that can be stolen. The chord progressions used in the song can't be copyrighted as you are going to find a lot of songs with the same chord progression.
