My older sister had Elvis' 2nd RCA Victor LP ["Elvis"] and I played it to death. I think 3 great candidates for your CD are from it:
-When My Blue Moon Turns To Gold Again
-Anyplace Is Paradise
-How's The World Treating You

Interesting topic, hits close to home. I have plans for a cd called "The Memphis Ballads" All of the songs would be mostly "B" sides or album cuts from Elvis' early RCA days. F'rinstance "I Was The One" was the "B" side of Heart break hotel. and so on. To me Elvis was the king of the 50's Rock and Roll/Rockabilly Ballad. Most of my favorites fall into that category. My CD will be on the "FANTASY" label. If I could ever afford to make a cd that IS a fantasy! :>) Previous Message
Some interesting stuff there.............
Don't Be Cruel / Hound Dog was the fist non-children's 45 that I bought and owned.
A very big song in my musical history.
In music, and our generation .... Elvis is everything.
When I say "our generation" for me, this included 1950s music.
The next generation caught the Beatles.
The Beatles came along for me during my 2nd year of college.
They had so many songs, and so many of them were so good and different, you couldn't ignore them.
For me.... the Beatles were an acquired taste.
I didn't automatically like them ... and I didn't like them for some time.
Starting out with a song like, "She loves you" for me was very juvinile.
Music wise .... TV wise.... Movie wise .....our generation had the best when we were young.
Kennedy and the Trio ....... Wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!
