(CH), In comparison to some of Elvis’ raw or “hillbilly” Sun recordings, “Trying to Get to You” sounds unusually sophisticated — so much so that it was among the Sun releases included on his debut RCA album in 1956, alongside songs cut in Nashville and New York with A-list session aces. 1 rhythm & blues hit in 1953. It generated advance orders of over 300,000 which was the largest such demand in RCA's history. Great collection of Elvis's top ten hits; if you love Elvis, you'll love this collection. It sounds more contemporary, even, than the remixed “A Little Less Conversation,” which came more than 30 years later. "Blue Suede Shoes" was first written and recorded by fellow Sun Records artist Carl Perkins. "All Shook Up" reached #3 on the country chart. Latest news about Elvis Presley. Elvis Presley - "Bossa Nova Baby" (1963), 34. It’s an irresistible composition made more so by some of Elvis’ most irresistible pure-pop singing, ending verses — “My heart beats so it scares me to death,” “That’s to have that girl that I love so fine” — with vocal flourishes that take flight. But the tune would be redone memorably — not once, but twice — by Elvis. It clocks in at under two minutes and sounds so simple, so inevitable now. He offered the song to Frank Sinatra, and it became a standard for the legendary singer. His daughter Lisa Marie Presley recorded "In the Ghetto" as a digitally created duet with her father in 2007 to raise funds for the Presley Foundation.

With Bill Black’s thumping acoustic bass and Scotty Moore’s country guitar replacing the horn-based jump blues sound, the Sun Records remake is more rural, hinting at wild things happening in the woods. Elvis’ Top 40 resume is impressive. A rocker in a time of (often overwrought) ballads, played and sung with more weight and passion than in the original Arthur Alexander version, this was an update of the original Southern rock 'n' roll sound that didn’t sound creaky or nostalgic.

(BM), The first song recorded at the historic 1969 American Studio sessions, “Long Black Limousine” was a crucial cut on what might be the essential Elvis album, “From Elvis in Memphis.” “Rarely has Elvis sung so passionately in the studio,” wrote biographer Peter Guralnick, “rarely has he revealed himself so nakedly.” Fourteen years after singing about a pink Cadillac in his classic version of “Baby, Let’s Play House,” and just six years removed from the soundtrack clowning of “(There’s) No Room to Rhumba in a Sports Car,” it was as if the joy ride was over.
