Polk salad Annie
As far as I know Tony Joe White wrote the song "Old man Willis" in 1967 and recorded it in the same year for Monument records; the song stayed unreleased and meanwhile Tony Joe White re-wrote the lyrics into Polk salad Annie and recorded this song in 1968/69 (no exact details known) (Monument 1104). colonel snow --------------------  |

This is one of my favourites too. It really brought out the quintessential Elvis.
The early version, as seen in Elvis: That's The Way It Is, showed a more exaggerated stop-start section where Elvis did his memorable fist pumps. Later, in the mid-seventies, he varied it by going into a karate-type stretching routine that drove the audience wild. There's a great clip on Youtube that shows this and a number of other songs (wearing the Bicentennial suit at the Atlanta afternoon show - June 5, 1976). The sound is foggy and muddy, but you can really see him taking this song to the nth degree. -------------------- "It is easier for a rich man to get into heaven than it is for a camel's butt to get through the eye of a needle" - Elvis Aron Presley

Great posting REX.
I absolutely love Elvis performing this song all trough the 70's. The August '70 and March '76 versions are my favorites and the '74 versions are my least favorites (Duke was and is a great bass player, but somehow imo he never managed to get this song right). -------------------- "How do I get placed in situations like this? Ah hell, I guess it's all part of showbusiness "~ Elvis in his limo on his way to perform in Omaha, NE on June 19th 1977

The screen grabs are FABULOUS, Rex! When you do this it makes so many awesome new pictures of ELVIS...I love it!!!
This is my personal favorite ELVIS period. Polk Salad Annie is such a fun song.... and I have especially enjoyed the song with my little grandgirl. We dance around the room to it and she laughs like heck at the "Gator got your Granny" part when I lip sync ELVIS' singing it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I agree with Chris that the original by Tony Joe White....is nice enough....but ELVIS nails it. |
