Brown Eyed Handsome Man


Words & Music:
Chuck Berry
Recorded:
1956/12/04, first released on
The Million Dollar QuartetReactions
Jerry Lee sings Too much monkey business, but others want to do Brown eyed handsome man. Why then did Elvis do Too much monkey business later, but not Brown eyed handsome man?
Not a real Elvis song. Cmon stop putting these jam session, rehearsal type songs as song of the day. Let it be full studio recordings. Anyway, Buddy & Chuck had the best recording of this. Elvis should have recorded a whole album of Chuck Berry tunes!
The defenitive recording of this song is by Buddy Holly. What a sound!!
A shame that Elvis never got round to doing a good studio version of this Chuck Berry classic.I never really listen to the Million Dollar Quartet album as it is too fragmented.To enjoy a good version of the song I play the Buddy Holly single released in the UK by Coral in the 1960s
Okay but I know this song is actually about me..
