Elvis interpretando "Trouble".

Gallardo onfire y oportunísimo.

Nicolas Cage - Elvis en una estupenda interpretación del Love Me.

La versión que hizo Peggy Lee de "I'm A Woman", en 1962.






I can wash out forty four pairs of socks and have 'em hangin' out on the line
I can starch and iron two dozens shirts 'fore you can count from one to nine
I can scoop up a great big dipper full of lard from the drippin's can
Throw it in the skillet, go out and do my shopping, be back before it melts in the pan
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again


I can rub and scrub til this old house is shinin' like a dime
Feed the baby, grease the car, and powder my face at the same time
Get all dressed up, go out and swing 'til four A.M. and then
Lay down at five, jump up at six, and start all over again
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again


If you come to me sickly you know I'm gonna make you well
If you come to me all hexed up you know I'm gonna break the spell
If you come to me hungry you know I'm gonna fill you full of grits
If it's lovin' you're likin, I'll kiss you and give you the shiverin' fits
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again


I got a twenty dollar gold piece says there ain't nothing I can't do
I can make a dress out of a feed bag and I can make a man out of you


'Cause I'm a woman! A W-O-M-A-N, I'll say it again
'Cause I'm a woman! W-O-M-A-N, and that's all

Los fabulosos Coasters. Y Down In Mexico. Una enormidad.

Junto con la primera versión de los Coasters, esta Searchin' de Spencer Davis Group, de 1965, es mi favorita. La simplicidad de la guitarra tiene algo que la hace irresistible.

La versión de You're The Boss que Elvis y Ann Margret grabaron para Viva Las Vegas es, a mi juicio, infinitamente superior a la primera grabada por LaVern Baker.

Los verdaderos artesanos del Rock & Roll

Estos tópics al final no tienen vida porque no hay discusión posible

Ilustremos el comentario para los no iniciados.

Aquí viene el tío Elvis cargado de regalos para las niñas buenas.





"Santa Claus Is Back In Town"

Well, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling on the ground
Well, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling down
Well you be a real good little girl
Santa Claus is back in town
Got no sleigh with reindeer
No sack on my back
You're gonna see me comin' in a big black caddilac
Oh, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling on the ground
Well you be a real good little baby
Santa Claus is back in town

Hang up your pretty stockings
And turn off the light
Santa Claus is comin' down your chimney tonight
Oh, it's Christmas time pretty baby
And the snow is falling on the ground
Well you be a real good little baby
Santa Claus is back in town

De hecho, la vendieron como la Elvis femenina.

Ésta es la versión sapaburus que del Hound Dog hizo Marcel Bontempi.

Esta canción, Saved, la compusieron Leiber y Stoller pensando en estos buenos tiempos.





I used to smoke, I used to drink
I used to smoke, drink and dance the hoochie, coo
I used to smoke and drink
Smoke and drink and dance the hoochie, coo

Beatin' on that big a bass drum, whoa yeah
I used to cuss, I used to fuss
I used to cuss, fuss and boogie all night long
I used to cuss and fuss
Cuss and fuss and boogie all night long
Wah hah

Ah, I know right a from wrong
Uh huh
That's why I'm saved
(Saved)

People let me tell you 'bout a kingdom come
You know I'm saved
(Saved)
Ah, saved

I can a preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul savin' army
Beatin' on that big a bass drum, whoa yeah
I used to lie

I used to cheat
(Cheat)
I used to lie

And step on peoples feet
I used to lie and cheat
Lie and cheat and step on peoples feet, oh yeah
But now I'm steppin' on the glory
Salvation is my beat, whoa yeah
Because I'm saved
(Saved)

People let me tell you 'bout a kingdom come
You know I'm saved
(Saved)
Ah, saved
(Saved)
I can a preach until you're, deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul savin' army
Beatin' on that big a bass drum, whoa

Raskal seal of approval.

Recuerdo un festi, allá por los años '90, que estábamos pasadísimos un colega y yo y se nos ocurrió ponernos a discutir sobre quien era el mejor compositor de rockandroll. Tirando del hilo, tirando del hilo, y después de seguir cayendo porros y cervezas, llegamos a la única conclusión posible: Leiber&Stoller, por definición.

Que conste que yo, hoy en día, diría Chuck Berry

Hasta en los setentas siguieron teniendo buen ojo.
