Song of the day

What'd I Say

I can understand being a little let down with Elvis' studio/movie version of this song as Elvis is a bit restrained (for him would have liked to hear a vocal more in line with "Such A Night" on this one) and the female background singers threaten to destroy the listening pleasure. That said, I still like it and the scene in the movie where he "Ahhs" and Ohhhs" and Ann-Margaret moans her response is a fun, sexy scene. Comparing it to Ray Charles version is a bit silly as Ray's is rooted totally in the blues and Elvis' version has more of a polished pop-rock sound to it. Both versions have merits, I, of course, enjoy Elvis' version more because of his voice, but I understand those who cling to Charles' version. 4 stars.
