Notes:
|
Elvis'
first national No.1 hit for RCA, and the record that meta-morphosed him
into a myth at the age of 21 and cast his fate to the winds of history.
Elvis first performed this song on national TV on the Dorsey Shows, on January 28, 1956, the version of which has been extensively boot-legged. |

Notes:

This
track was also form Elvis' first recording session for RCA, a beautifully
executed song with back vocals by Gordon Stoker and the Speer Brothers.
However this song will be forever overshadowed by the destiny of the A side. |
