Fame and Fortune - L2WB 0084 - March 21
Lyrics (words & music by Fred Wise - Ben Weisman) Fame and fortune how empty they can be But when I hold you in my arms That's heaven to me Who cares for fame and fortune They're only passing things But the touch of your lips on mine Makes me feel like a king Your kind of love is a treasure I hold It's so much greater than silver or gold I know that I'd have nothing If you should go away But to know that you love me Brings fame and fortune my way Did you know? Fame and Fortune runs about 0.4% too slow on '24 Carat Gold' (no big deal) and sounds a little brittle due to noise reduction and slight lack of low frequencies. 'There's Always Me' volume 4 is much better. Takes Take 01 4xFS+Complete 3:25 High key. "Elvis sings Fame alone" Take 02 Complete 2:31 Take 03 FS+LFS 1:19 Take 04 LFS 1:25 Take 05 FS+Complete 2:45 Low key. Take 06 LFS 0:50 Take 07 FS+Complete 2:48 Take 08 FS+Complete 2:47 Take 09 FS+Complete 2:52 Take 10 LFS 1:27 Take 11 Complete 2:38 Take 12 LFS 1:31 Take 13 Take 14 Complete 2:37 (2:29) Used for spliced master: 1:36-1:59 tape(1:36-1:59, probably part used for master, edited out) Take 15 Spliced M 2:30 Spliced from takes 15 and 14 (1:36-1:59) Musicians: Bass/Guitar : Hank Garland Guitar : Scotty Moore Guitar : Elvis Presley Bass : Bob Moore Drums : D.J.

Thanks Steve ! A fantastic song ... one of Elvis's best ballads.

Indeed one of his best ballads, one of my favorites from the 1960's also. Great work Steve!

A slow song that seems to almost drag itself along, but, it works. Nobody but Elvis could have sang it that way. (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

YES, YES, YES!! An Elvis classic!! I would have loved to have heard Elvis sing this in the 70's when his voice was richer and deeper.
Thanks for the info. M-M -------------------- "Until we meet you again may God Bless You"
