    this year is the 50th anniv of elvis' last studio session.
    in march of 1975,elvis walked into an rca studio for the last time...held at rca's studio c in los angeles...the result would be one of his most under-rated albums:
    today...released in may of '75.

    one of the better late 70s recordings...oft over looked.
    he was in his wheel house.

    the closing track on the today album.
    this song caught his attention when tom jones recorded it years before.
    i wish elvis had tried it earlier...but his voice by the late 70s had a deep richness that made the timing of this recording just right.
    but i would love if he had tried it...say...in '67 when he cut guitar man.

    they are a glimpse of a true artist and craftsman at work.
    a perfectionist who could seamlessly transition in and out of genres with ease and precision.

    he was honed in....fully alive.
    finding solice in the music.
    these sessions were deeply moving and personal.
    and that voice.
    don't listen to the uneducated noise.
    it ALWAYS comes back to THAT VOICE.

    he lived.
    he loved.
    he won some....alot really.
    lost some.
    deeply passionate.
    very personal.
    and thank THE LORD he came at a time when it could be recorded....for the ages.

    his drive for perfection...relentless.
    he cared.
    deeply.

    it was thru these films and these soundtracks that many found Elvis for the first time.
    they opened The King's Court to new converts.

    but the main point of this wilderness journey...from 1960-1969....theres some good...sometimes great...stuff in there....that deserves to be heard.
    not thrown out with the bad'ns.

    used briefly in the film.
    a HUGE missed opportunity.
    your HEAR him singing it in the night club...but we don't SEE the performance.
    it would've been a rival to loving you's teddy bear scene or the dance sequence from JHR.
