What music did Elvis listen to?

[KPM]

I'd like to see what he could do with 'Mack the Knife'

Yes that would have been an interesting piece of music to see how he would have approached it...so many great versions to get a start from
Sinatras, Bobby Darins, even Louis Armstrong had a great record of this...makes you wonder which would have been his starting point.
I would guess Darins.

Thank you!

You're most welcome Nicole. What do you think of those records mentioned on the articles?

Hope you can give an ear to this: THE MEMPHIS JUKEBOX: THE ELVIS PRESLEY'S RECORD COLLECTION. VOL 1, 2 & 3.

Please excuse my reply, as I know I'm not being specific with song titles; however, this gives a range:

Marty Lacker said, "Elvis liked many R & B singers, ballad singers, some country music and Gospel."

I quote Marty, as at least he knew Elvis for many years, and I'm trying to be helpful

I'll add that Marty said that Elvis didn't like Heavy Metal or Hard Rock.
