Song of the Day-Never Ending

I guess you could say I am on a little bit of an Elvis Presley kick as we go back once again to the catalog of the King of Rock N Roll. Early period Elvis is my absolute favorite as Elvis was at the top of his game from the Sun Sessions until the time he left the army. I am including the handful of sessions he cut while on leave from the Army in this group of top notch tunes. After he got out, he spent a lot of years acting in movies with scripts that descended in quality from what he was offered at the start of his career. I've always felt that Elvis had a raw natural acting talent that could have been really put to good use instead of being squandered in indifferent vehicles like "Clambake" and "Double Trouble." In any event, for a good decade, Elvis spent most of his time recording movie tunes, chosen not for their quality, but because the songwriters had no problem giving up the publishing to Elvis and the Colonel (who is Satan in most of my Elvis stories). It was rare that Elvis went into the recording studio to record songs with the goal of putting them out as a single or album release. One such occasion was in 1963 when on May 26 that year, Elvis strolled into Nashville's Studio B with his usual sidemen of that period and recorded a set of songs for an upcoming album. Elvis cut "(You're The) Devil In Disguise," "There's Always Me," and Chuck Berry's "Memphis, Tennessee." It was a pretty good day for Elvis and those were good tunes. He also cut "Never Ending" a cut written by Buddy Kaye and Philip Springer. As usual, Elvis had the Jordanaires backing him on vocals. This fine cut got lost in the shuffle and wasn't released until years later being stuck first on a Soundtrack album and finely seeing CD release in 1991 on "The Lost Album." Give it a listen!
