Song of the day

Little Sister

A five star song without doubt that shows Elvis could still rock and roll like no one else. Elvis delivers the fine lyrics with a slight growl in his voice and really makes this a song a classic. Equal to his 50's work (so was "I Feel So Bad" and "Such A Night") and songs like "Burning Love" and "Promised Land" from the 70's, but in the softer era of the early 60's, it was over-shadowed (still a big hit by anyone else's standards) by it's flipside "His Latest Flame" and was a much lesser hit than "It's Now Or Never", "Surrender", "Can't Help Falling In Love", "Are You Lonesome Tonight" and "Good Luck Charm". Why did Elvis greatly reduce his rock and roll recordings in the 60's? Fans pushed him that way. It is the same thing with studio recordings vs soundtracks. Fans bought "Blue Hawaii" 10 to one (and overtime 20 to 1) over the LP "Pot Luck". Elvis did not abandon rock and roll, his fans did.
