Elvis Presley-Kentucky Rain
A photo complentation set to one of the King’s greatest songs.
Lyrics:Seven lonely days
And a dozen towns ago
I reached out one night
And you were gone
Dont know why youd run,
What youre running to or from
All I know is I want to bring you home
So Im walking in the rain,
Thumbing for a ride
On this lonely kentucky backroad
Ive loved you much too long
And my loves too strong
To let you go, never knowing
What went wrong
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
And up aheads another town
That Ill go walking thru
With the rain in my shoes,
Searchin for you
In the cold kentucky rain,
In the cold kentucky rain
Showed your photograph
To some old gray bearded man
Sitting on a bench
Outside a genral store
They said yes, shes been here
But their memory wasnt clear
Was it yesterday,
No, wait the day before
So I finly got a ride
With a preacher man who asked
Where you bound on such a dark afternoon?
As we drove on thru the rain
As he listened I explained
And he left me with a prayer
That Id find you

G. I. Blues/Elvis Presley
G.I. Blues is the eleventh album by Elvis Presley, released on RCA Victor Records in mono and stereo, LPM/LSP 2256, in October 1960. Recording sessions took place on April 27 and 28, and May 6, 1960, at RCA Studio C and Radio Recorders in Hollywood, California. The album topped the Billboard Top Pop Album chart and has been certified by the RIAA as a platinum album.
Music on this album comprised songs that had appeared in the film of the same name. The song “Wooden Heart” was released as a single in the United Kingdom, where it was #1 for six weeks. In the United States, Joe Dowell recorded a cover version of “Wooden Heart” that topped the Billboard Hot 100. RCA later released “Wooden Heart” by Presley as the b-side of a single twice, once in 1964 on the back of a reissue of “Blue Christmas,” and again on the flip of a belated issue in 1965 of “Puppet On A String” from the Girl Happy movie. Four songs from this album appear on the 1995 soundtrack compilation: “G.I. Blues,” “Wooden Heart,” “Shoppin’ Around,” and “Doin’ the Best I Can.”
Due to copyright reasons, the European version of the soundtrack album and film substitutes the opening track “Tonight Is So Right for Love” with the song “Tonight’s All Right for Love,” adapted from a melody by 19th century waltz-king Johann Strauss. An American release of “Tonight’s All Right for Love” did not occur until it appeared on the compilation album Elvis: A Legendary Performer Volume 1 in 1974. The version of “Blue Suede Shoes” used on the soundtrack is a new recording of the song Presley first recorded in 1956, and is one of only a few songs that Presley would re-record in a studio setting during his career, others being “Love Letters” and “A Little Less Conversation.”

Elvis Presley – Heartbreak Hotel 1956
(words & music by mae b. axton – tommy durden – elvis presley)
Well, since my baby left me,
I found a new place to dwell.
Its down at the end of lonely street
At heartbreak hotel.
You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.
And although its always crowded,
You still can find some room.
For broken hearted lovers, to cry there in the gloom.
You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.
Well, the bell hops tears keep flowin,
And the desk clerks dressed in black.
Well they been so long on lonely street
They aint ever gonna look back.
You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.
Hey now, if your baby leaves you,
And you got a tale to tell.
Just take a walk down lonely street
To heartbreak hotel.
