HIGH QUALITY (real video format). One Night # Comeback Special (1968)
This was written by Dave Bartholomew and Dave King. Bartholomew wrote some of Fats Domino's hits, including "Walking To New Orleans," "Whole Lotta Lovin'" and "Blue Monday." Smiley Lewis originally recorded this in 1956. His version hit #11 on the R&B charts, but didn't crack the Pop charts. Elvis recorded this in February 1957. A year later, Elvis went into the army. During this time, Elvis was in Germany so his record company began releasing previously recorded tracks. In the US, this came out in 1958; in the UK it was released in 1959. It was Elvis' first song to reach the top of the UK charts after he went into the army. In January 2005 this was re-released in the UK to commemorate Elvis' 70th birthday. It went to #1, replacing Elvis' "Jailhouse Rock," which was also re-released. It became the fourth track ever to be #1 twice and only the third time in UK chart history that an artist has replaced themselves at the top of the charts. On January 24, 1957 Elvis recorded "One Night of Sin" at Radio Recorders. The risque' version was not released until 1983, when it appeared on the LP Elvis - A Legendary Performer, Volume 4. The cleaned-up version, take #10, was recorded a month later and released October 1958. Presley was inducted on March 28, 1958. "One Night" reached #4 on Billboards Hot 100 chart during its 17 week stay, and #10 on R&B's chart. In England it went to #1 and stayed at the top for 3 weeks. Elvis sang an extended version of this during the "jam session" part of his "comeback" TV special "Elvis" in December 1968. The part where he shouted out "Been too lonley too long!" was one of the highlights of the show.


LYRICS:

One night with you
Is what I'm now praying for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true

Just call my name
And I'll be right by your side
I want your sweet helping hand
My loves too strong to hide

Always lived, very quiet life
I ain't never did no wrong
Now I know that life without you
Has been too lonely too long

One night with you
Is what I'm now praying for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true

Always lived, very quiet life
I ain't never did no wrong
Now I know that life without you
Has been too lonely too long

One night with you
Is what I'm now praying for
The things that we two could plan
Would make my dreams come true

  • @NellaN1337 He was using them at the time. But didnt he use them? amphetamines to be excited and energic and barbiturics to stay calm. What is the problem of this?

  • @19844joao

    Leather + lightning = sweat. This wasn't the first song he sung during this session...

  • @NellaN1337 Ok, he wasnt that drugged. But he was obviously under the influence of them. Do u think a guy would sweat so much if he was sober?...

  • @19844joao

    I think your dad would have a clouded judgement after 30 years on drugs. No offense.
