Girl Next Door Went A Walkin' recorded by Elvis on Monday, 4 April, 1960
Written by: Rice; Wayne Originally recorded by Thomas Wayne in 1959 Thomas Wayne, co-writer and original recording artist, was a graduate of L.C. Humes High School, just like Elvis! His original single carried the title "Girl Next Door;" early pressings of "Elvis Is Back!" listed the number as "The Girl Next Door" and later pressings as "The Girl Next Door Went a-Walking." Wayne's original was recorded in 1959 on Scotty Moore's own short-lived Fernwood record label and released in May 1960 on Fernwood 122. Thomas Wayne was born Thomas Wayne Perkins in 1940 and was the brother of Luther Perkins, who played guitar for Johnny Cash. Thomas Wayne died in 1971. |

Will turn into a great Section Steve. Keep up the great work (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/cheers.gif)
All of the Elvis Is Back! album is superb, and this is included in that category. Classic early 60's Elvis...in a change to the pure Rock n Roll of the 50's...its my belief that this album was one of the contributing factors to the birth of Popular music. Catchy 'Rocky' numbers like this one...superb (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/notworthy.gif) -------------------- TCB Chris
You may think that its the breeze...whistling through the lonely trees..but its only him a flyin' round the bend... as the day comes to an end.........    |

A great performance by Elvis and his band they all 'gel' together so well on this song as it flows beautifully along. Pure Presley perfection!
