Good thread but (imho) sh1te song. Here's a bit of what i love best about him; the voice, the stand-up bass, the slapback echo, the vocal "hiccup", the looks, the music, that rockabilly guitar....they sure as fcuk don't make 'em like they used to!

Great performance in 56:

Elvis was at his best at the very beginning, pure rockabilly gold. Him, D. J. Fontana and Scotty Moore.

My all time favorite Elvis tune..

Nail on the head my man, can't get enough of the really early stuff myself! That's the only stuff that's even listenable for me...can't stand that vegas karaoke, white jump suit phase, even if it is the "iconic" image of him.
