Wonderful informative thread Rex. Thanks !
Even though this was one of his biggest selling records...i still can't help thinking that his actual vocal perfomance is overlooked. It is OUTSTANDING. Only bettered around this period by the incredible Surrender. Wonderful ! -------------------- |

Wonderful informative thread Rex. Thanks ! Even though this was one of his biggest selling records...i still can't help thinking that his actual vocal perfomance is overlooked. It is OUTSTANDING. Only bettered around this period by the incredible Surrender. Wonderful ! Thanks Chris... totally agree... Music Spot Review... "PICK OF THE WEEK" USA 16th July 1960. (IMG:http://www.elvis-tkc.com/forums/uploads/1260996939/gallery_21960_29_202348.jpg) When you think ITS NOW OR NEVER and ARE YOU LONESOME TONIGHT are recorded at the same sessions as the ELVIS IS BACK album.. April 1960 really was a Masterful Recording Session... and the album never had the 2 big hit singles included on it.. back then.. Elvis' Vision in wanting to record this song, and even requesting New Lyrics... was very Unique and far sighted I think... its great that Freddy really took that excitement from Germany back to the States and actually acted on Elvis' wishes so promptly... a Master Stroke all round. I remember the Radio Plays for this song at the time ~ really captured Elvis to the Music Publics Heart... he may have been away for almost 2 years... but this Song really put Elvis back at Number 1 in peoples minds again.. in the 1960s new era of Pop Music... and the next release "..Lonesome" really made sure Elvis would be noticed on Every Release... Which probably helped him through the whole of the 60s with the start of the Beatles and Beat Groups... -------------------- |
