Elvis in Memphis - 45 yrs ago
Forty-five
years ago, Elvis Presley made the most important recording session of his
career at Chips Moman’s American Studios. He hadn’t had a top five record since
1965 when he walked into Chip’s studio. He recorded the classics “In the
Ghetto”, “Suspicious Minds” (his last #1 hit), “Don’t Cry Daddy” and “Kentucky
Rain”. All of them were substantial hits
and three of them became “gold” records. The library can help you get an
extraordinary insight into Elvis Presley, rediscovering his musical roots with
the music cds “Memphis Sessions” and “Made in Memphis”. These songs stand as a
personal triumph for Elvis, a performer at the turning point, an artist who
that winter in Memphis was again sharp, eager and alive. The music he created
there will always prove it. This time period
also comes alive in the book “Memphis Boys” by Roben Jones. The Memphis Boys
played an impact in music with not only Elvis, but Aretha Franklin, Wilson
Pickett, the Box Tops, B.J. Thomas, Neil Diamond and many others.
