"Well, then" (1954) In this 1 940s blues song composed by Arthur Claud in1min 55 seconds, Presley's voice is very high, a little unnatural and almost unrecognized, but it is a song out of genre. 1954 65438+1October 7th, this song was first broadcast on the radio. It immediately caused a commotion, which spread all over the southern and southwestern United States. Although it failed to cause a national sensation, it caused a local sensation, which was enough to inspire more young people to start creating their own blues rock. At that time, it was called the perfect combination of blues, country songs, western, gospel and pop songs created by Elvis Presley and other members of Sun Records.

The mysterious train (1955)

This is a rock song that often appears in people's minds, and it is also the last single of Elvis Presley before he left Sun Records. "The train, the train came to the corner; It took my child, but it will never, never. " Price used his trademark high-pitched cry, mixed with sadness and strange feelings, which may be the strangest song of Elvis Presley.

The lyrics tell a legend as old as the origin of American folk music. In fact, the lyrics come from the obscure source of the Carter family 1930 country classic song "Worried People Blues". Junior Parker also combines the origin of country and blues, white and black styles in his creation. Elvis Presley just took this process one step further and incorporated this mixed style into his singing. Elvis Presley sang this song mysteriously and secretly, as if telling every dream and fear he experienced. This song is worth cherishing, so although it is rarely played on the radio, it is still the best-selling song on the billboard country music charts.

Sad Hotel (1956)

This is the first Elvis Presley song released by RCA Victor Records. From this song, we find that he has a new and iconic vibrato baritone singing method.

Besides Elvis Presley, there are guitarist scottie Moore, bassist Bill Black, pianist Floyd Clem, guitarist chet atkins and drummer D.J. fontana (member of Elvis Road Orchestra). This is the accompaniment of most of the best-selling songs in Elvis Presley's early rock career.

Don't be so cruel (1956)

Elvis Presley's early singing was rooted in the tradition of blues and country music, but he soon found his own way of colorful music. Don't be so cruel. It's pure happiness: the background music of victory, the swaying beat, and the pop idol who changed from a shy mountain man in just two years: "I really love your young baby/penetrated my heart." He plays his diaphragm and his voice is more like following him.

Hound (1956)

Is this Elvis Presley's most furious voice? Like his first punk rock song. It's hard to understand why Elvis is so crazy about his dog. Maybe it's because of his girlfriend, or he didn't catch the rabbit anyway. But this is a landmark crazy applause. Who cares?

This is Elvis Presley's signature song. The important part of his singing is not teasing, but seriousness. Hound East was composed by Jerry Laibo and Mike Stahle, who were very important in Elvis Presley's singing career. Over the years, they have created many Elvis Presley movie songs and many excellent blues songs together.

Put my ring around your neck (1958)

This is the first song released by Elvis Presley after enlisting in the army, and it is also a classic song for teenagers. Published in April 1958. RCA certainly has a lot of Elvis songs in stock, so that Elvis can release them when he joins the army. Many of them are first-rate songs. This is why Elvis Presley has been away from the United States for so long, and his reputation is still in full swing.

From this song, we can foresee the power of the early Beatles-starting with electric guitar and harmony, with rhythm and chorus, plus a crazy bass. Elvis Presley's hoarse voice just complements this kind of music. "You won't wear my ring around your neck? Tell the world that I am yours. "

Young people who are confused by the lyrics should know that it is a custom for engaged men and women to give each other rings in the 1950s, and they usually wear a necklace, because a man's ring is too big on a woman's finger and a woman's ring is too small for a man.

Can't help falling in love (196 1)

Elvis Presley composed a lot of music in the 1960s to match the increasing number of annoying movies, but this song survived. This was sung by Elvis Presley in the movie Blue Hawaii, which was adapted from a classical melody. In those years in Vegas, he tried to sing bass with his abundant lung capacity, which was quite attractive. This is a wedding song of that era, and almost all Elvis Presley concerts in the 1960s and 1970s ended with this song.

Long live Las Vegas (1963)

This song sounds like an eccentric classic. The soundtrack of one of Elvis Presley's best movies, co-performed by Ann Maggie, is one of the best rock songs recorded by Elvis Presley in the mid-1960s.

Although this song only entered the top 30 of the billboard chart, its global sales still exceeded 654.38+0 million. Although the Beatles almost swept the music scene, this Latin-flavored tune and crying guitar performance should be enough to make it a champion. Why radio stations and listeners ignored it is still a mystery.

In the ghetto (1968)

Elvis Presley is also a protest singer? This urban story from the album Elvis Presley in Memphis is rare and unique for the king of songs, but it also shows his gentle but emotional voice performance. His trembling, emotional voice sang, "If there's one thing she doesn't want, it's another hungry mouth that needs feeding in this ghetto." He let out a powerful cry: "Look at you. Look at me. Are we blind? "

Suspicious ghost (1969)

1969, Elvis Presley made a comeback. He found a new singing style, avoided some bad singing habits, and showed more modern R&B preferences. Besides, he rarely tries to be as crazy as the ending of Suspicious Spirit.

This song is a great success, the most complete recording since Elvis recorded, and it is also the decisive factor of his existence. The final transcription was done in Las Vegas, using the brass part of Elvis Presley's stage orchestra. The ending overlaps twice, which makes the endless effect of the live singing version present a vibrant atmosphere. This million-dollar single is Elvis Presley's last No.1 single in America.
