16 Aug 2007: Happy Elvis Death Day!

[RGMike]

Just realized that Elvis had this fixation with postal themes--US Male, Return to Sender--any others?

well, he went postal on that TV set with his gun...

BOS2 "VLV" -- HM to Ann-Margaret!

[urth]

I didn't remember that this set was so skewed toward his earlier stuff. But I guess with 12 songs there's plenty of room for Suspicious Minds and Burnin' Love and the like.

(DM played In the Ghetto during the morning show--I don't remember if it shows up in this set or not, but assuming not.)

BOS, "Suspicious minds"

[RGMike]

BOS3 "Suspicious Minds", one of THE great pop singles of the late '60s.

Not. Here's your SM (tune #10), and our bonuses after that are "Kentucky Rain" & "She's Not You".

ETA:  I just looked again, and we got the same whole set on Elvis' 70th B-day in Jan '05, except he stopped after "Kentucky Rain".  So maybe it's a toss-up on the last song.

Aw man, you ruined it for me!   :wink:

See above, I reintroduced some suspense.   :wink:

BOS4 "Kentucky Rain", a song that should've been a bigger hit, but which has grown in stature over the years (Eddie Rabbit's first songwriting credit) and has always been a Chart Geek/Music Geek fave. Listen to that string and backing vox arrangement.

Morey has left the building!

[mshray]

Morey has left the building!

He said it was ten songs & he counted twice, so I guess math isn't his best subject.

1 - Blue Suede Shoes
2 - That's All Right
3 - Don't Be Cruel
4 - Marie's the Name (of His Latest Flame)
5 - U.S. Male
6 - Return to Sender
7 - Viva Las Vegas
8 - G.I. Blues
9 - Can't Help Falling in Love
10 - Suspicious Minds
11 - Kentucky Rain
12 - She's Not You

Was hoping it was the 2002 version of this set I had at home in the archive, but turns out I have the one-song-shorter 2005 version. Oh Well.

I didn't get a chance to listen during the week, and I'm not the biggest Elvis fan (well, I'm big, but...) and it really sounds nice.  Dave did a good job putting this together, from a request list at that.
