Notes:
|
A
dramatic rendition of the Simon & Garfunkel 1970 hit.
Performed in the film Thats The Way It Is (1970) and released on the soundtrack album later that year. The recording made at RCA Studios in Nashville in June was different from the rehearsal scene in the film. But the climax, complete with the massed voices of The Imperials supplemented by several other vocalists, emphasises the beauty and power of Elvis' voice and his obvious affinity for the lyric. |
