Song of the day

Little Sister

It was actually my first struck of love with Elvis. The double sides Little Sister/His Latest Flame really got my attention at a time where The Beatles were emerging. I discovered Elvis in fact in 1965, and a new immigrant boy my age had a selections of Elvis' rpms. When I listen to LS/HLF I think put it on my record player 30 times both sides, I couldn't get enough. I didn't know at the time that he had recorded them a couple of years back in 1961. Who's that guy? Even if everybody was turning their attention to the Beatles, I decided I had to know more about this "mythical" artist. And so, I began to collect. I was hoping to discover other gens like that and so I did, with I Feel So Bad and the Elvis Is Back LP and the other two early 60's Nashville album (Something for Everybody and Pot Luck) even if movie soundtracks seem to overwhelm the Elvis section in the record stores. That was the turning point to me. What a voice, what a sound! And it's still there today: fresh, raw,pure, solid. A true classic, it can never get old. Boy I wish I was in the studio to watch these recordings.
