Big Boss Man _Jimmy Reed Vs Elvis

Postby Steve Grayson '67 » Thu Sep 10, 2015 4:55 pm

"Big Boss Man" is a blues song first recorded by Jimmy Reed in 1960. Unlike his most popular songs, the songwriting is credited to Luther Dixon and Al Smith.

It was a hit for Reed and has been interpreted and recorded by a variety of artists, including Elvis Presley and B.B. King, who had record chart successes with the song.

.............................................
On September 10, 1967, Elvis Presley recorded a version of "Big Boss Man".

It was issued as a single the same month and reached number 38 on the pop chart. He performed the song as part of a medley during the Elvis 1968 Comeback Special, which also appears in the award winning mini-series Elvis. During the 1970s, Presley often performed the song in concert.
