Song of the day

Frankie and Johnny

For me this tune by Elvis has become one of those songs that is alot more than just a mediocre Elvis movie song. It transends its own barriers as i have been watching and hearing Elvis sing this since childhood and was one of the very first sixties movie performance I seen him perform. This is actually an excellent production number with classic 60's Elvis vocal style. i agree that the actual recording off the number could have been alot better in quality. The best part for me is the slower bluesy section only in the movie version and not in the released single or album versions. A great dramatic build up in the movie gives this song much more kick but on its on as a single I dont think it works. I would not have chosen this as an A side. Also its such a shame that the real blues song " Hard Luck" from the same move was not recorded and produced with care. Could have been a brilliant single if it had been taken seriously.
