Title:
Happy Ending
  
Writers:
Ben Weisman & Sid Wayne
1st Recorded:
October 1962
Recorded @:
MGM Sound Studios, Culver City.
1st Released:
April 1963
Versions Appear on:

Title:
Harbor Lights
  
Writers:
Jimmy Kennedy & Hugh Williams
1st Recorded:
circa - July 1954
Recorded @:
Sun Studios, Memphis Recording Service.
1st Released:
January 1976
Versions Appear on:
A Legendary Performer Vol 2
Notes:
There is confusion about the original recording date of the song, a popular tune of 1950 recorded by Sammy Kaye, Guy Lombardo and Bing Crosby.
Most discographic authorities trace it back to Elvis' very first recording session at Sun Records.
Presumably like "Without You" it was one of those tracks Sam Phillips wasn't thrilled about. It surfaced as a monaural track on A Lengendary Performer Vol 2 and remains a valuable artifact.
