This is a pretty badly damaged record (cover), likely from standing water in a Brookfield basement, but who cares – it’s Elvis and I love it. Got it last summer in a box of other records at a garage sale. By surprise, six or seven other Elvis records were in the box! Blue Hawaii, the soundtrack album to the film of the same name, was recorded in March of 1961, just a month after I was born, at Radio Recorders studio in California. It was released in October of that year. A bunch of the songs on it were written by the duo of Roy C. Bennett and Sid Tepper, whoever they are. Backing musicians, among others, are the Jordanaires – background vocals, Bob Moore on bass, the great Floyd Cramer on piano, and D.J. Fontana on drums.
