    "Slow Hand" which was done by the Pointer Sisters-I think Elvis would have been excellent on it.
    "Fire" which has already been mentioned.
    "Heartache Tonight" which the Eagles did originally another one I thought Elvis could have nailed.

    As you can hear he did sing this on stage, but I would have loved him to have recorded it. He was a big Roy Hamilton fan. Sorry about the quality,but as you can hear Elvis does a great job

    Good job, Cliff, so many songs that he just played around with on stage, if only, if only...

    And think of me, how it's gonna be and just pretend I didn't go

    OK. I know it's an Elvis soundalike but it will give you some idea what "Slow Hand" might have sounded like if Elvis had done it.

    Another "Fool" song for him to sing, I love this one. I can hear him do this one - bare-ing himself,
    putting a huge range of emotions as only he could do...

    Had he recorded Wolverton Mountain it would have turned out to be such a fun Elvisly-sounding song.. well, how couldn't it sound Elvisly in his hands?
    It's cool any song could be either rough or soft, wide or narrow, tall or short, childish or adult.. it fitted him if he believed in it.
    all the goons I left behind,
    memories still linger..

    I dont know about studio recording, but I can certainly see Elvis and James Burton tearing up "Rock n Roll" by Led Zeppelin live on stage.

    That would have been cool. When I was growing up my Dad was a huge Jerry Reed & Chet Atkins fan. Not to mention that Dad was/is a ferocious picker in their respective claw/fingerstyle. So I grew up listening to him play their version of Tennessee Stud. I think you are right. If one put Elvis' vocals over the top of this dual guitar track, it would rock......

    And speaking of the late,great Jerry Reed, Elvis would have laid down the jam on this too.....
