In 1971 RCA wanted singles – a pop album – a gospel album and first of all a new Christmas album.
Hill & Range / Freddy Bienstock selected songs for Elvis’ albums and movies. Through the years Freddie Bienstock have sent hundreds of acetates to Elvis. The acetate with ”As Joseph is a walking” is a demo version recorded by an Elvis-sound-a-like; probably rejected in a pre-selection because Elvis had folk songs in his mind for the may 1971 recordings and new releases. About the song: It’s a Christmas carol composed in 1918 by Geoffrey Shaw Known versions: Recorded in 1961 by Joseph D. Frances on YT In 1970 recorded by Chuck Wagon Gang on LP Going home for Christmas (Columbia 30263) colonel snow

Frankie and Johnny
The version for the movie was written by Sid Wayne and Ben Weisman; RCA credited the song to Alex Gottlieb (screenplay) - Fred Karger (musical director from the movie) and Ben Weisman. It's unclear if the lyrics are re-written or the version by Syd Wayne-Ben Weisman is rejected. The tune is based on a version from the roaring twenties. colonel snow -------------------- |
