Magnificent! Really, he is in great voice here. Elvis rules!
-
@wobrien007 Actually the song is about the whole "Elvis calls James Brown and Ray Charles a racial slur incident. " back before Get Happy came out. Read the wiki.
-
@wobrien007 Actually this is Elvis singing about himself and his regret about the Ray Charles incident!
-
It sounds as good as the studio version!
-
Very nice version - thanks! Love hearing and seeing Bruce play - shame they don't get on no more...
-
@wobrien007 It's actually not about a woman, it's about the media heat he received when he got into a drunken bramble with a couple of men.
-
My favourite 'Get Happy' song. There's a lot of history supposedly linked to this. It seems to be all there in the words and his unmistakeable delivery. An epic performance. Thanks for posting.

One of his best, and that's saying a lot. The best songwriter of his generation.

Some of the best acidic remarks of all time here. Makes Dylan sound mellow by comparison. You have to wonder what woman did the poor guy wrong to bring on such bile.
"Why do you talk such stupid nonsense when my mind could rest much easier? Instead of all this dumb-dumb insolence, I would be better off with amnesia......"
