Is it an Elvis song if Elvis didn’t write it?

What we have here, is failure to communicate, Huh?

I don't think he meant to cover the song.

I don't either, guess I'm not making myself clear. Just saying he did a lot better than I would've thought he could.

Is it an Elvis song if Elvis didn’t write it?

Elvis just took over "Blue Suede Shoes" and made it his. Carl Perkins admitted as much.

I go waaay back into the '50's actually beginning with the Everly Brothers. "Til I Kissed You" was my favorite. It got even better as they got older.

I always liked this one, but mostly praying for Bangladesh, now it is my nation the song suits.

Beautiful sentiments for each other since their breakup and reunion. Notice their eye contact during the song. They're both gone now but brought so much joy with their music.

Not rock but a very popular Cuban song. I first heard it in the early 1950's and have searched in vain for that great rendition. This one comes close as it's straight forward with none of the 'tweaks' that other composers have added. Enjoy ''The Peanut Vendor".

I don't know that it's "perfect" but it's been one of my favorites for 50 years.
