Elvis- Love Me Tender

Step into our wayback machine to Sept. 5 1987. We opened and backed Johnny Harra at a concert in Granbury, Texas. He is a very personable and professional person on and off stage. Johnny was chosen to play a 42 year old Elvis in the docudrama movie “This Is Elvis”. For more information, videos and music his website is http://www.johnnyharrathelegend.com
Johnny has also worked with Conway Twitty, Glen Campbell, Jack Green, The Kentucky Headhunters, Brenda Lee, Jewel Akins and many more.
The musicians that night were from left to right, Truman Hudson, Bob Hudson (lead guitar), Joey Phillips (drums), Greg Ladesic (bass), Oliver Mowet (keyboard). The backup vocals were Joe Fleming and Kelly.
This was recorded on VHS by a relative up in the loft next to the spotlight, and the sound you hear was picked up through the camera mike across the auditorium. The tape was about gone due to age, and the video doesn’t look very good at full screen.
For the people who were there that night, and the ones seeing this for the first time……….enjoy.

G.I. Blues is a 1960 Elvis Presley musical motion picture played as a romantic comedy. It was filmed at Paramount’s Hollywood studios, with some pre-production scenery shot on location in Germany before Presley’s release from the army.

By 1960 it had been two years since Presley had made his last film, King Creole. Despite his previous three films being mostly slated by the critics, they warmed to King Creole and its star. Presley felt confident that he had a future in acting after this praise and he was looking forward to returning to Hollywood after his time in the army.

Eight months prior to Presley being discharged, producer Hal Wallis visited with him in Germany to go over the script for G.I. Blues and film some on-location scenes. Although some scenes were used in the final film, Presley did not film at any time during his time there. The U.S. Army supplied tanks and vehicles on manoeuvres to be used in the filming, and appointed public information officer John J. Mawn (1915-2007) as technical advisor for the film. Mawn had presided over Presley’s military press conferences.

Presley returned to the U.S. in March 1960 and began work on the film in late April. The film, which was not well received by critics, was released on November 23 1960, and finished the year as the fourteenth biggest box office grossing film of 1960 generating $4.3 million. Despite critics being dismissive of the overall plot, they did praise Presley’s acting ability and the film was nominated for two musical related awards in 1961; Best Soundtrack album Grammy, and WGA Best Written Musical. Presley’s return to the screen in Mexico City led to a riot in a theater showing G.I. Blues that prompted the Mexican government to ban Presley’s movies.

The success of G.I. Blues may have ironically been the catalyst for the formulaic films that Presley was to make for much of the 1960’s. His next two films, Flaming Star and Wild in the Country, were more straight acting vehicles, with less songs and a more serious approach to the plot lines. However, despite Presley relishing a meatier role and enjoying the chance to act dramatically, both films were less successful at the box office than G.I. Blues had been, resulting in a return to the musical-comedy genre with Blue Hawaii as his next film role. Blue Hawaii proved to be even more profitable than G.I. Blues and set in stone the future of Presley’s Hollywood career.

Hound Dog Lyrics:
You aint nothin but a hound dog
Cryin all the time.
You aint nothin but a hound dog
Cryin all the time.
Well, you aint never caught a rabbit
And you aint no friend of mine.

When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.
When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.
You aint never caught a rabbit
And you aint no friend of mine.

Blue Suede Shoes Lyrics:
Well, its one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.

But dont you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

Well, you can knock me down,
Step in my face,
Slander my name
All over the place.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Dont you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

You can burn my house,
Steal my car,
Drink my liquor
From an old fruitjar.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Dont you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

In The Ghetto Lyrics:
As the snow flies
On a cold and gray chicago mornin
A poor little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama cries
cause if theres one thing that she dont need
Its another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto

People, dont you understand
The child needs a helping hand
Or grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me,
Are we too blind to see,
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way

Well the world turns
And a hungry little boy with a runny nose
Plays in the street as the cold wind blows
In the ghetto

And his hunger burns
So he starts to roam the streets at night
And he learns how to steal
And he learns how to fight
In the ghetto

Then one night in desperation
A young man breaks away
He buys a gun, steals a car,
Tries to run, but he dont get far
And his mama cries

As a crowd gathers round an angry young man
Face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto

As her young man dies,
On a cold and gray chicago mornin,
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto

The Wonder of You Lyrics:
When no-one else can understand me
When everything I do is wrong
You give me hope and consolation
You give me strength to carry on

And you’re always there to lend a hand
In everything I do
That’s the wonder
The wonder of you

And when you smile the world is brighter
You touch my hand and I’m a king
Your kiss to me is worth a fortune
Your love for me is everything

I’ll guess I’ll never know the reason why
You love me like you do
That’s the wonder
The wonder of you
