It's always been kinda confusing; the great black blues singer/guitarist JIMMY Reed had the first hit with the song in 1961 on the R&B charts (#13). JIMMY also wrote "Baby What You Want Me To Do" which Elvis recorded during the '68 Comeback Special.

P.S. Carl returned to Columbia Records by December 1968 when his "Restless" single did quite well, making #20 C&W, staying with the label for another 4 years;

you need to check out his rockin' version of "Restless" with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers that's on Carl's final album, 1996's "Go Cat...

Elvis only recorded a handful of his songs on separate occasions; you'd probably enjoy later version of Swing Down; one other song he recorded twice was Love Letters, first in May 1966, then June 1970

a cool website with every one of Elvis' recording sessions is Keith Flynn's Elvis recording se...
