Elvis Presley A Mess of Blues

[hanknz01]

can't understand why this isn't in the millions

[Elvis86100]

Comme disait John Lenon, "Avant Elvis, il n'y avait rien!!!" Vive Elvis

[beethoven4]

I love the drum fill at the end of the second middle eight. I was 10 and had been playing drums for four years when I heard this first and already a die hard Elvis fan and loved playing that fill.

This is classic Elvis, one his best tracks. It's almost impossible to describe the energy and excitement that we felt in those days at the advent of Rock and Roll.

[nurhabibi46]

The King for ever !

[allmightymouse]

Led Zeppelin turned me onto this song!! very cool to hear where Robert Plant got it from!

[diagreen]

@allmightymouse YEA.I GOT INTO ELVIS because of zep to.i really didn't get it because i was born in the late 60s.i new ELVIS AS a movie star.i liked him but i didn't understand his importance  as THE KING.In the song HOT DOG by zep PLANT says 1 more time for elvis.i thought what???didn't understand the conection between elvis,the african americans and how it created the classic rock i love.also in the 90s elvis was all over vh1.sometimes they would play the 68 special for a whole week.24 hrs.

[allmightymouse]

@diagreen

Right On! in the '75 Earl's Court shows, during 'whole lotta love' they break into James Brown's 'sex machine' & the Human Beinz' (or Bobby 'Blue' Bland's) 'turn on you light'. i think it's great when bands can turn you onto other artists.

[diagreen]

@allmightymouse yes.iv heard that 1 to.sometimes folks knock zep for stealing music but at the same time they hold there influences right up in your face as if to say."HEY LOOK AT THIS"

[robeng1000]

Doc Pomus also wrote "Save the last dance for me". Pop-genius!

[drunkonjive]

nobody sings this song quite like elvis, some have tried but failed,what a singer what a song.

[vonratibor]

@drunkonjive You got that right Elvis was the KING! TCB!

[DragonChaserKev]

Born less than a year after his death he's the first music I recall listening to and liking. Been many years since I was a wee tiny tot but I'm still listening and still liking.

[rockabillygaz]

ever and ever,amen,,

[towman2620]

A very "Elvis" song. One of my favorites.

[DominickFontana]

Simply Fantastic! I had this song on a 45. It was the flip side of "It's Now or Never." He will always be the King. Simply the best!

@MrElvis96 Learn to spell

[MrElvis96]

@stonedpimpdaddy Ugh... I know how to spell. You need to learn how to LIVE guy, you must LIVE. Stop wasting your life correcting people's spellings on Youtube. Stop being so SAD and LIVE.

[stonedpimpdaddy]

@MrElvis96 You know nothing of my life or anything about me so go fuck yourself!

[Leroyfis]

@stonedpimpdaddy Hey man, having a discussion=fine.

But watch your words man.No need to swear or calling ppl names. Especialy older ppl.

I don't really know what the discussion is about, but i dont like it that Elvis fans argue with eachother or screw up the vid with these kinds of comments...

thank you ELVIS FOREVER

Happy holidays and a nice Christmas you all ;)

[oramikleepunk]

I like his early 50's sound on sun.You could hear the blues,and R&B in his music.He had soul.

[elvismioveni]

my king

[blackange90]

your friend chesty xxxx

[lagunadeplata]

This song is nothing but genius.

[psilokan]

Holly crap, never knew this was originally an Elvis song. I only know it from Jeff Healey, and have listened to their version a million times. I do much prefer their version as it was a lot faster, but I certainly enjoy this one too.

[lagunadeplata]

@psilokan you might want to listen to Led Zeppelin Version. I don't even consider it a version, Zep made it their own.

[valarmanwe]

@TheBlueeyes2216 . Forgive me - I don`t know what I was thinking of, asking your age.

[valarmanwe]

@TheBlueeyes2216 .Well, are you a female redhead ? If so, are you a sexy female redhead ? If so, are you between 35 and 51 years old ? If so, reply !

[moparterryfy]

if i could sing just half that good....wow awsome.... excellent

[zhcorpii]

The King

[YRNGHFAN2]

Jackie, I LOVE this!!

[lilane4ever]

Freaking Awesome....love it!

[emanuel319]

Thanks for posting this great tune. It sure takes me back to 1961. In my view, one of Elvis' best songs. 

[kazzles79]

I miss this kind of music, why can't they have music like this anymore?! Elvis you rock!

[superginger23]

BEAUTIFUL SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BartA22]

" I gotta get myself together....before I lose my mind"....Sing that song boy!

[IGuitarV2]

I'm a 13 year old boy and I listen to this. I'm tired of all this new bad music in the radio.

[Zecalran]

the new music destroys the soul! It was meant to dumped dump listeners and create hateful sentiments within their listeners! Its garbage for the soul! :)

[TasOMW]

@IGuitarV2 ditto 

[AnInfant]

@IGuitarV2 You sure you're 13? xD

[IGuitarV2]

@AnInfant 14 ;)

[MrElvis96]

@IGuitarV2 How very refreshing that is to hear, I am a teenager likewise. The modern music of today just can't possibly live up to the fabulous music and charisma of Elvis Presley. I really do admire people like you, people who aren't afraid to speak their mind. Thank you very much indeed.

[Leroyfis]

@MrElvis96 same here: 14 yrs old... But there are a lot of kids.teens that like this sort of music. This is mt 5th year of being a Elvis-fan and like all the music he makes!

[MrElvis96]

@Leroyfis Nice to see more 'juniuor' Elvis fans. Keep the King of Rock alive!

[stonedpimpdaddy]

@MrElvis96 junior

[MrElvis96]

@stonedpimpdaddy Why yes, yes I am indeed ''junior.'' Although I evidently have more brains than you...idiot.

[stonedpimpdaddy]

@MrElvis96 I was mearly pointing out that you spelled the word wrong.............idiot.

[dianetcb1]

@Leroyfis Nice 2 c more young Elvis fans LO TCB X

[westcoastdoldrums]

@IGuitarV2 wow you deserve a medal for that..

[3Glimpse3]

@IGuitarV2 I'm 17 and I don't believe that I'm "that old" to listen this music too... haha that doesn't make any sense right? AGE DOSEN'T MATTER, music is universal and endless. Stop bragging around about your taste in music, I'm so sick to watch a bunch comments of kids just like you with a lot of likes on them... Just enyoy the good music.

[interneda98]

@IGuitarV2 Hey there :) im a 13 year old girl and im also so tired of todays ''music'' im a fan of Elvis since i was very little and i'll always will be. :)

[Zecalran]

@IGuitarV2 damn the kid is right god bless u son!

[banjoburty]

@IGuitarV2 I heard this on the radio the other day....

[shakeahand1]

Real handclapping, real musicians and backing singers and the greatest stylist/singer ever all working live in the studio. Fantastic!!

[MauriceSchalks]

A fan from the king. Nice. Place cjeck also mine version and let me know wath you think about it.

Maurice Schalks ( a mess of blues)

[flimbambo]

Didn't know Shuman had a hand in writing this. One of Elvis' finest.

[TheBimboa]

the one and only-THE KING

[imamba1]

@TheBimboa  damn right

[roadappleband]

I`m a 65 year old hetro male, but I must admit that in his younger days Elvis was a very good looking young man.

Thanks Jackie for the photos.

R. I.P. Elvis - Still the King.

[JOEMCVEIGH]

First song by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman that was recorded by Elvis. He went on to record their "Little Sister"; "Surrender"; "Suspicion"; "His Latest Flame"; "Viva Las Vegas"; "I Need Somebody to Lean On": and, many others.

[elvis4ever1935]

I LOVE! THIS SONG!!! thanks for sharing jackie!

[195477]

watch?v=swqrg3kfqJ0

[drjay95]

The King's most underrated song. Demonstrates a great command of the upper end of his vocal register at this tune's conclusion. Can't understand why this wasn't a #1.

Elvis hits a grand slam with " A Mess of Blues."

[ThePuma1968]

That`s because it was a B-side of Its now or never, I think. Which was his greatest hit.

[MarianFerrier]

Totally underrated song - great rare photos!

[1950sTeddyboy]

As a Elvis Fan from Day One & Bought

Hound Dog/Don't Be Cruel just to put on our Arcade Juke Box

Never really had this one high in My List.

"A" Side Its Now or Never is in My Elvis Top 5 So correct Song was "A" Side ...

This where it should be & was on the "B" Side

[panimueddu]

the king .... beautiful !!!

[miketheshanmanmangan]

Elvis with a shag beat still on juke boxes and getting plenty of play at the beach music and shag clubs across the carolinas rock on EP

[thevoiceisbydon]

unique song for presley with the bit of yodel and upper register at the end - video is also excellent!

[Salinthezone]

The real king! I've been jammin EP since I was 5 years old and will most likely listen to him until I die. He was the coolest; that's for sure.

[soundofyourcry]

great song...:o)

[ChubbyBeak]

awesome

[kls424mx]

sensational

[breathlessnolonger]

Hes gorgeous!!!

[babasbiki]

Oh wow.!! this was a real B side & never thought it would be up here on Youtube.

Fabulous!! - thanks.!!

[Custhydo]

Video fantastic very well done

[joey13940]

the best ever1

[rvrandy1971]

has to be my all time fav and i like alot of them.. Good job thanks for sharing

[YourTheReason8]

I got to get myself togather before I lose my mind..My God what a man...YTR

[Mary69Jane1]

Perfect and amazing. As always. Long live the King.

[Magryd4433]

This song is so ohhhhh lovely and catchy!

[charlierss]

Just brilliant. Such happy memories of the King!

[rubbersoul1957]

Like John Lennon once said "Elvis was it. Nobody was bigger. The Beatles wanted to be bigger than Elvis."

[195477]

4 Beatles couldn't equal 1 King.

Elvis..before,during and after the Beatles.

The Beatles only performed live 62-66 and as far as i'm aware only did about 40 shows..says it all really.

[ChiefRedSkins]

ive been a fan of presley since he started out,i was never a fan of songs like these to be fair but he was alot better than the beatles.

rip ep

[bobvocal]

@195477 195477I sure am a big fan of Elvis but you cant discount the Beatles besides being the biggest group that there was there songs havebeen turned into classics Elvis only ever composed one or two songs in his entire career and dont get me wrong I am not knocking him, one of the most famous crooners of all time Frank Sinatra never wrote a song in his life so hes in good company , ho and by the way Elvis hated being called The King he said there was only one and he is in heaven

[covmiss]

thats rightxx

[greaser1993]

luv this song great vid 10/10

[195477]

Takes 1,2 and 3 are on the FTD Elvis is back CD

[Jackiej61too]

Written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman for Elvis. Elvis recorded it March 21, 1960 at RCA's Nashville studios. The single release had an 11-week stay on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart, peaking at #32. It sold over a million copies and was the B-side to It's Now or Never. It is available on Elvis Golden Records Vol. 4, From Nashville to Memphis-The Complete 60s Masters, Artist of the Century and 2nd to None, which is where this version is from

[195477]

Linda Thompson co wrote Whitney Houstons I don't have nothing and has written for MANY stars inc.Celine Dion...shame she never wrote for Elvis.

[MilaMa57]

Thak's Jackiej61too for song&foto.

(from Poland)

[ElvisSacramento]

This has always been one of my most favorite Elvis songs. There's no possible way that anyone could sing this song as well or better than Elvis did. Elvis will always be the greatest singer, entertainer and phenomenon. Elvis will also always have the greatest voice and the greatest fans. I love very nearly all of Elvis' music. Elvis would be extremely proud of you. This video was absolutely perfect in every way, 10 Stars as always Jackie.
