All Shook Up - Elvis Cover by Dr. K

I hope you enjoy this song by Dr. K, who is truly a fan of Elvis, and can only hope to bring some of this legend's same spirit back to all of you... Shake it Up today. Below is a brief history of this song:

This was Presley's second-biggest hit in the US (after "Don't Be Cruel"/"Hound Dog"), spending 8 weeks atop "Billboard"'s Top 100 Singles chart and a ninth week at #1 on the Jukebox chart.

Songwriter Otis Blackwell wrote this on a dare. One of the owners of Shalimar Music (Blackwell's publishing company) wandered into Blackwell's office as he was struggling to create a follow-up to "Don't Be Cruel." As Al Stanton approached Blackwell, Stanton was shaking a bottle of Pepsi. Stanton said to Blackwell, "I've got an idea. Why don't you write a song called 'All Shook Up'?" According to Blackwell, the song was finished in a couple of days. (Thanks to Ron Foster. More from Ron at www.oldiesradioonline.com.)

Although Blackwell is the sole composer, Presley shared the songwriting credit, as demanded by Colonel Tom Parker. The same thing happened with "Don't Be Cruel."

"Billboard" declared this the #1 single of 1957. "Don't Be Cruel" was #1 for 1956, the only time in the history of "Billboard" that the same artist recorded the #1 hit singles of two consecutive calendar years.
