Elvis Presley - (You're The) Devil In Disguise (Stereo Studio Outtake)

Into the RCA Nashville recording studios on May 26, 1963 with Elvis Presley and the Jordanaires as they record "(You're the) Devil In Disguise". Although the song would peak at #3 during the summer of '63 on the U.S. pop charts, a British television program entitled "Juke Box Jury" with John Lennon as a celebrity guest gave the recording a thumbs down as it was previewed then. Lennon explained, "Elvis sounds like Bing Crosby now".

Lennon was an honest dude. Elvis was his primo role model..but listen to Elvis before he went into the army..that Elvis was an A N I M A L. The GREAT Elvis..

This was the first Elvis 45 I bought back in NY at age 12 and little did I know that until 68 Elvis put out no new studio material because the Colonel saw the receipts going down so he only made movies and movie soundtracks There were few quality songs on the soundtracks and RCA went back to the vaults for material This was Elvis' last recording session meant for strictly single and LP production the Colonel thought there was too much Elvis product what an idiot Lennon was wrong in this case!!!!

Lennon never came close to the greatness of Elvis. What did he know.

j'ai découvert Elvis en 63 avec cette chanson, je n'avais jamais entendu un tel rythme et cette voix chaude et extra et l'orchestration avec les claquements de mains. Un choc et je ne savais pas du tout à quoi il ressemblait. Alors plus tard en 68 : mon dieu quelle beauté !

Crosby NEVER sounded so good. Lennon was well-known for acerbic temperament calling some of Paul's all-time classics trash, so go figure. The King still stands crowned with this one - nice stuff.

Elvis jest rozpoznawalny w każdym zakątku Ziemi. Barwa jego głosu, sposób interpretacji, wyczucie rytmu i wyjątkowa muzykalność nie mają sobie równych.

Szkoda, że w tamtych czasach artyści nie potrafili poradzić sobie ze sławą, a ich managerowie nawet nie starali się odizolować ich od zdziczałej publiczności, a wręcz zachęcali do wszelkich skandali, tylko po to ach ich podopieczni znajdowali się ciągle na pierwszych stornach tabloidów

This song reached number 1 in the British charts despite the thumbs down from John Lennon, and too right as well, it's a great song!
