Once again, a great song!! This truly deserves to be in the spotlight!! I adore this song, it's so bluesy, I can't help but clap, snap my fingers and shake my head....It's one of the great examples of what early rock'n'roll is like!! Great info you guys!!

QUOTE (New Jam @ Jul 13 2007, 03:24 PM)  An underated classic... and with all all due respect to the talents of Roy... Sorry, but I'll take Elvis' verison anyday! (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/00000407.gif) Id go along with that, a truly great track and a great scene in the film to go along with it. as a footnote here in the UK this was released as a 7inch single backed with I BEG OF YOU in 1989 and an four track 12inch single the same year with a DUB version of MWB -------------------- Out there in the dark , there's a beckoning candle

I agree. This gem is very underrated! This song is a classic song from the seminal days of Rock 'n' Roll. I just love this one and all of the takes of it that have been released.
