I will if you will

For the second RCA session in jan. 1956 it was suggested to record the song "I will if you will". John Berry recorded a song with the same title in 1997 but I doubt
it's the song offered to Elvis on 17 january 1956.

Rejected LP

Planned for release around 1987 was LP A legendary performer volume 5; for unknown reasons it was rejected.

Here is the track list:
Side A
Puppet on a string (probably one of takes 7-10-11);
Lonely man (take 1);
Forget me never (take 3);
In my way (take 3);
Ask me (1963);
Singing tree (11 september 1967 - take 13);

Side B
Night rider (take 1 f.s. / take 3);
I'm yours (take 2);
I met her today (master);
A mess of blues (take 1);
It feels so right (take 1);
Fool (2:33 - master);

I'll add tape legends from this rejected release as compiled by Joan Deary; it's remarkable that the tapes are originally compiled in 1982/1983 for release on ALP vol. 4 but we know this release from 1984 has other tracks.

The song The lady loves me finally made it on ALP vol. 4; You're the boss was choosen for inclusion in the box A golden celebration in 1984 but was cut.

The song was written by Red West around 1959; the demo version was sold at the big Graceland auction in 1999 (50's section lot no 229) together with a demo version from You'll be gone.
Red West recorded the song himself in 1960 (Sonnet 2960)

According to an agreement signed 7 december 1956 the rights of 15 songs were transferred from Elvis Presley Music Inc to Glady Music, Inc.

Listed are songs which were never recorded by Elvis:

- I love you so much it hurts;
- No letter today;
- Worried mind;
- At mail called today;
- One has my name one has my heart;
- It makes no difference now;
- Someday.

Without doubt Elvis got demo-acetates from these songs but I've not seen paperwork to confirm. At the moment I've no more information about these songs.
