A great jazz musician, composer and sax player all rolled into one! Lovin' the Stig!

[elvisinmunich]

Great version! However, without Elvis this song would still be unknown. Credit where credit is true. Curtis Stigers' voice sounds so much like Ray Charles!

[nicokanakaris]

@elvisinmunich amen to that,ray charles all over again,curtis sings jazz but in a very soulminded way

Kudos for not attributing "That's Alright" to Elvis

[mdz255]

@Lavizzle even though elvis changed the words and made the song better and famous

[Lavizzle]

@mdz255 Just like with "Hound Dog" he changed the lyrics into googoo-gaga caliber nonsense so that white people could stay sheltered from real life...

His version of "That's Alright" is ok musically... I agree with Jerry Lieber (of Lieber & Stoller), though, in that Elvis' versions of RnB songs are DEFINITELY not "better"... just more accessibly commercial.

Elvis was talented, he just had no control over his career.

[mdz255]

@Lavizzle yea its a shame that elvis had no control over his career he had a bad manager

Cool take on this tune. Stigers has a cool voice and the band is great.

I like bread and butter.
