Elvis recorded his version just 5 days later !

Most likely not aware of Del's version.

Thanks, C Snow. I listened to both Del and Elvis, versions of this song. What I like about both is, You can hear each word sung. You know what the story telling is about.

It's possible that both singers used the same demo.

This great song is almost forgotten. It's B side is the more memorable.

Elvis' best single of the 60s, I think.

When Elvis recorded a selected song it’s nearly always very close to the demo-version.


Yes.

Not being able to read music, the only way he could learn a song was by listening to a version of it.

Although the versions he came up with were based on the arrangements on the demos, he always put his own stamp on things !
