Harry I have all the 45's of Elvis - from my older sister (back in the day).
  9:31pm
Androu B.:

OK, so he's sung "Blue Moon of Kentucky". But, IIRC, he's also sung "Moon of Alabama" in his famously televised acoustic performance, even though there's no record of it on Secondhand Songs nor any treace of it on the YouTubes. Can anybody else confirm? Or is it just my imagination?

I am no authority on that one

This is a fabulous show, but one of the greatest Elvis covers is medson’s version of "Yoga Is As Yoga Does.” It charted in Sweden.
