[musicman257]

elivs was it.take note little teeny boppers no one will ever be as good as elvis was

[evillhillbilly]

Well, if you keep an open mind and do a little audio investigation,,,

Son House + Charlie Christian + Willie Dixon + Gene Krupa + Hank Williams + Les Paul + ( fill in the blank ). Mix 'em well, Add a handful of 'speed" a bottle of "Party Liquor", shake it, 'n bake-it out pops Rockabilly, and everything that comes afterward,,,,,,even ...Rap

[vizardstorm]

THE KING!!!!!!!!!

[sunrecords56]

this was truly elvis' first million sellar but it took two labels to do it check the charts of the time and see how long it remained there you'd really be suprised. But RCA wanted all the Glory.

[ElvisPresley1973]

Legendary Elvis Presley Lives on and forever

[joelvis1968]

i like the part when Elvis starts laughin at the end

[Port20dude]

@joelvis1968 A lot of us loved Elvis' whoop and laughter at the end of "Mystery Train." It was such spontaneous...devil-may-care fun. But it seems to indicate Elvis thought the take, for some reason, would not be a keeper. It was Sam Phillips' genius to realize it should be left in the performance.

[maximusspqr]

I love the part where it goes Baaaahw bahw. Baaaahw  bahw......sixteeeeeeen, coaches loooooong.

[Silverwings63]

Superb ... best artist ever.

[patrickb5197]

Great

[patrickb5197]

I think Vernon n Gladys should be in the Rock n Roll hall of Fame.

[Port20dude]

@patrickb5197 I know where you're coming from.  I wonder if there ever was a quiet moment at home in the early days when Gladys and Vernon just sat and stared at each other and said, "What...have...we...created?!"

[wookie72]

Could you imagine hearing this back then? Think about it - there was no MTV, no Youtube, no Itunes. People were much more segregated in their tastes. Hearing this must have blown people's minds.

[theShowStopper321]

This was recorded before the Echoplex was made, so does anyone know what echo device Scotty Moore was using for slapback?

[jeenyjoe]

@theShowStopper321

[sparkytrick]

@theShowStopper321 This might not be correct, I'm no expert, but I think this was recorded in a studio that had a deep hallway that sometimes produced an echoing sound that showed up on records. Once again I'm no expert, I'm pretty sure Elvis recorded in a studio with a deep hallway later on though, I read his biography.

[Stig5440]

@sparkytrick It was recorded in Sun studios - which was virtually nothing more than a tiny little shop off the main street. It was famed for that "echoey" sound. Listen to Elvis's recordings for Sun before he became really big - most of the tracks have that feel. And just listen how Elvis uses it to magnificent effect ob Blue Moon.

[GreatMotovaro]

did u hear, kanye wst is calling himself the new mj...

[bucurdragos]

Take BOC of Romania by this mystery train!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LeCutter]

That face and that voice. It's just not fair. :)

[MuscatD]

favorite Elvis song... doesnt even really sound like him

[allaboard70]

Superb music from the Rock'n'Roll era !!

[xKarleyxLovex]

All i can say is that its better than the crap we call "music" today..,

[789pequignot]

great song

[Grifiki]

"So many people pretend to inpersonate Elvis, but very few are anything like me in 1958. And I am still better today 52yrs later."

[ruudisme]

"the best version.. " Agreed

Love his sunsessions the most. Burton is a better guitarist i think, but prefer the scotty sound;)

[TheJpcookie]

elvis presley you legend!.

happy birthday 75 todayy

gone to early but always in our hearts

08-01-35- when the real music was created. 8 January 1935 a true legend was born LOve this song to bits!

[goldenchildtyptcb]

the best version..

[roadappleband]

Elvis is great but you need to hear Paul Butterfield Blues Band do this song.

RIP Elvis, RIP Paul.

[TheSunRecords]

Elvis was 20 year old, two guitars and one upright bass... and the result is a masterpiece in music history.

[Steeley1690]

This is undoubtebtley Elvis' greatest era. He looked amazing and sounded great. Every man wants to be him, every girl would love to be with him! There won't be another Elvis Aaron Presley as long as I live

[greaserman44]

youre right about that dude. not ever probably

[bumblebeemoi]

@Steeley1690 Still, so many "fans" have the images of him in those awful impersonator suits and not the raw, Rockabilly/Blues man who had that edge. In my mind, once he hit the 60's, it was too canned and commercial.

[1pick2sticks]

@Steeley1690

I disagree, 1969-70.

[pussypop100]

@Steeley1690 there wont be another elvis as long as there are humans on this planet the nearest thing to elvis was punk in the seventies 

[TheRetroDude1]

@Steeley1690 There won't be another Elvis Aaron Presley as long as anyone lives LONG LIVE THE KING

[Treatmenice56]

My favourite too-just fantastic!

[Karkar82]

My favorite song!

[ColonelVnShit]

Me too.

[7861312]

one of my favs!

[Jackiej61too]

Written by Herman (Little Junior) Parker and Sam Phillips. Elvis recorded it July 11, 1955 at Sun Records, along with Scotty Moore, Bill Black and Johnny Bernero on drums. RCA reissued the song in November-December 1955; it was the A-side to I Forgot to Remember to Forget. It is available on Artist of the Century, A Touch of Platinum, Platinum: A Life in Music, The Sun Sessions, and The King of Rock n Roll-The Complete 50s Masters.

[sunrecords56]

This information is partially correct. Mystery Train comes from 2 different songs by Junior Parker, SUN 192 (A)side Mystery Train (blues number) (b)side Love My baby (up tempo) early Rocker. the combonation of both these songs makes Elvis Presley's version of Mystery Train (SUN 223) What it is. Sam Phillips did not write either Tune, But maybe he had the idea of how to train into the Number Elvis Gave us.

[silvertone14]

@Jackiej61too Sorry, but there are no drums on this song. There was a drummer at the session, but Sam Phillips chose(wisely!) not to use drums on this song. The only percussion you hear on "Mystery Train" is Bill Black slapping the bass and Elvis Presley strumming his new Martin D-28.

[fnrebel]

happy birthday ELVIS

[MsMoodyBlue]

Beautiful photos he looks gorgeous a great song

[ElvisSacramento]

This is such a very unique, exciting and magical Elvis song. Elvis definitely has the very best renditions of this gem. I love all of Elvis' music from the Sun Era so very much. Elvis had the greatest beginning to a singing career that there will ever be. My favorite era of Elvis' career will always be the 1950's. Elvis has truly made such an enormous impact on my life. Elvis has the greatest fans by far. I loved this video a whole lot, 10 Stars as always Jackie.

[nina1823]

You're so right. Elvis made a great impact on many peoples life, without him life would be boring.
