    The Last Record On Elvis's Stereo--What Was It?

    What was the last record that was reportedly on Elvis's record player when he died? I'd heard that it was by the Stamps and that he had paid for the recording of it. Is this true and, if so, what is the title of it? I've looked for a discography for the Stamps from 'round that time but can't locate one.....

    I've heard also that it was The Stamps but on another forum recently it was mentioned that an old soul record was found on the turntable

    Perhaps it was a private recording Tony
    I've also read it was a record of The Stamps the one that was on Elvis' record player when he died.....

    I have read that it was Nearer My God To Thee by J D Sumner and The Stamps.
