I was going to wait, but I have too many cool Elvis records to post just one. Born January 8, 1935, Elvis would be 75 on Friday. This photo is the back cover of a "double live" album called Elvis in Concert. Front cover says, "Original soundtrack recording from the CBS-TV special plus additional songs recorded on tour in June, 1977." The back cover has this note, "Album Creative Director: Col. Tom Parker." This week I read Chicago Tribune rock critic Greg Kot saying Elvis singing Mystery Train, with Scotty Moore on guitar, is one of the most important songs in rock history. Elvis sure picked good songs to sing. On this record, he does songs written by, Don McLean, Ray Charles, the Pointer Sisters, Gordon Lightfoot, Chuck Berry, Leiber-Stoller (3), Paul Anka, Arthur Crudup, and Marty Robbins. Click post title for link to You Gave Me A Mountain, live in Hawaii 1973.
