This doesn't have the weird keyboard in the bridge. Maybe Elvis (or Joe Guercio) simply didn't find an instrument that they liked for it. But I can't fault Elvis, James Burton or the Sweet Inspirations at all.
@matizzle32 Hope you can take the shit you dish out, asshole. So you don't like it when someone has an individual opinion. Did you check with the herd first before you wrote your response? If not, they will be very unhappy with you, and it won't be just their words that bother you, shithead for brains. Go FUCK YOURSELF IN THE ASS.
ami en particular me gusta mas la versión del shannon, pero y grande como elvis sabe lo que es la buena musica, por eso hizo un cover!!! aunque no esta a la altura del original me gusta...
this is elvis but even he cant sing del s song..sorry..the colonel messed elvis career up becos he cudnt leave america,,i think he was dutch,? soo becos he cudnt leave he wudnt let elvis tour the world,, a great loss to us all.
elvis did handled several cover versions well . This being one of them. Unfortunately, i can't say the same for HEY JUDE. Tom Jones did a great cover of that song
dempsey981 part 2 the part that really gets me is that the Colonel because of slipping film and movie soundtrack money decided too much of Elvis on the market so in 1963 he decided no studio LPs or 45s so RCA released material from the vaults "Cryin' in the Chapel" and form the soundtrack LPs which were often not good as Colonel liked to use little know writers because they would publish on his company at higher % the quality? "Do the Clam"? not up to Elvis standards six years lost until 1969
Its amazing how stories change over the years haha , ok the real story is this , time magazine wanted to put elvis on their cover on one of their issues and asked colonel tom is it was ok , the colonel said sure for a hefty sum of money , time magazine came back saying you dont understand this could help , the colonel came back with you dont understand we dont need your help !!!! hehe
@TheBronkobilly funny,but ask yourself,what entertainer placed on the cover of Time has not been elevated by the status of a Time cover photo?......i mean,how can that not be a plus?im not a student of the Elvis bio,but wasnt Parker a snake or not?....imagine you are the manager of a big singer/performer and then telling Time Mag[probably the biggest in the world then] you dont need their help when they offer to give you millions of dollars of FREE MAINSTREAM PROMO.Guess i dont get it at all.
@dempsey981 The Colonel made many bad decisions and he also thought too small He pinched his pennies but let the dollars go He also took advantage of Elvis playing on his gratefulness for his RCA contract and instant world wife fame to get A larger % than was current or deserved Don't get me started He did some smart moves in the early days but that's the best I can say of him
@elamite66 ...thats interesting,and sounds quite believable.i can see Elvis as being somewhat easily conned and manipulated,especially as he deteriorated[due to drugs] later on.Then again when he was younger,i can see him being easily manipulated then too,because of inexperience.I dont know the Elvis story very well,i guess to me it is a kind of ordinary rock sad story,involving an extraordinary,beloved guy.
@dempsey981 If you're realy interested read the Goldman book which came out not too long after his death it was well written and researched although in all that time there must be many more books maybe even better I used to read a lot and you learn how to research and how to determine what's likely fact and what's bullshit For example the Colonel told him about Joe Louis and said just pay your taxes so he didn't have the kind of financial advice and investments most in his position would
@elamite66 thanks for the suggestion,but ill pass on the Goldman thing,i did read his lennon bio however,and yes he writes very good biographys imo.my interest in Elvis is quite casual.guess im all stocked up on rock star information for now. i do enjoy light posts i read here from time to time.
@dempsey981 maybe I'll get the Lennon Bio as I've never read it you can't read everything thanks for the suggestion I didn't even remember that he'd written a book on Lennon
@elamite66 o prob.,yer welcome.i think Goldman passed away not that long ago,and yea he is notable for having written quite a few different bio's[i forget who] The Lennon bio,ive read i think three,was pretty detailed and envolved,fairly large book.If i was gonna read an Elvis book i guess i'd read Goldman.With Lennon book he dug down deep i thought,i mean i felt like i knew a whole new Lennon after that book.Btw as u know,Lennon admired early Elvis greatly,and of course they met once.
Good one. Didn't know Elvis sang this. It's so sad that he died at such a young age. But he certainly left a mountain of work for us to view and to listen to. He was the hardest working guy. He never stopped.
@goldkhw Somebody wanted elvis to play the whitehouse but they werent offering enough money they said dont you understand this is the white house and his manger said dont you understand this is the king .
