Like the song, like the 2-sides of the single it was released on, did not like the LP at all. An obvious attempt to get the contractual LP out by RCA with one of the most uneven set of tracks ever released and even re-releasing one of them. But this song being one of the all-time great songs in rock & roll , showed Elvis still admired his roots and could still make a great record.

One of the few songs from the Moody Blue LP I like along with Way Down & Its Easy For You. Would have made a great EP, lol. As an LP, the criticism was warrented, it was a very uneven album and basically thrown together to get that Elvis product out there. That aside, this is great performance by Elvis, but I wish the arrangement was more like the original. Yes, a fabulous B side to make a very good single release (his best in several years) for 1977.

Probably my favorite recording from the graceland sessions. I think Elvis sang it really well, which I think he did with the other songs as well. Moody Blue was a much better album than EP Boulevard, he just sounded so much better in the fall. Still, it could have been so much better if recorded properly, but I always enjoy this tune a lot.

A solid recording of the Johnny Ace hit that served as a very strong B-side to "Way Down". It also appeared on the much underrated (by critics) LP "Moody Blue" and helped to make one of the best sides of an Elvis album (side B). "Way Down", this song, "Moody Blue", "She Thinks I Still Care" and "It's Easy For You" were anywhere from very good to outstanding.

Good recording, last of the great 'b' sides, and best remembered as one of the few songs Elvis recorded that did not have the song title in it.

A great Johnny Ace song form the 1950s, strangely gone unnoticed as recording material by Elvis until the 1970s.Again tucked away on the B side and lifted from an album ( Moody Blue) Could have easily been a huge hit in it's own right.A great soulful/ bluesy ballad.
