JUST A BIT OF TRIVIA:
Does anyone know the AWESOME song that Elvis recorded in one take while he was just killing time, while he played the piano at the American sessions that isn't included on those albums released??

He recorded this song in early in the morning right before they began rehearsing the arrangement for Suspicious Minds. If you listen closely, half way through the song, the band is ready to quit, but Elvis continues to just pour his heart out on this song. This is an old Eddie Arnold song that was one of his favorites!!!!

"Iīll Hold You in My Heart" (ītill I Canīt Hold You in My Heart).
But YES, It was included on the first album released from those sessions: "From Elvis in Memphis", released on RCA Records, LSP 4155, in June of 1969. Peaked 13 in the U.S. and Number 2 in the U.K. In 2003, the album was ranked number 190 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
I didn't realize that it was included on any earlier albums. I apologize for the inaccurate information. It still is a great song, however.

Donīt think you have ofended anyone, no apologize needed. Now Im the first to answer the trivia, wereīs my prize?Originally Posted by ehollier
One of Elvis finest country music performances indeed. Or should I say: country soul?
Thanks for sharing the clip.
I think its just an ELVIS performance. He is his own category!!!! In Memphis, its also known as "blue-eyed soul".
