When preparing the pic for publication, maybe the sub-editors didn't know what song he was singing.

As a temporary measure, they put in a nonsense title to be changed to the actual song later, but somehow it got left in !

I can forgive a typo, but they've repeated the error several times here:

An article about how Elvis liked the song: 'Halfway to Paradise' includes this:

There's something not quite accurate there...

A whole lotta data in the article.

Let's just say that Jimmy Reed was not a "soul artist". Well, there was more soul in one second of Reed's music than in two dozen Rolling Stones LPs, but you know what I mean...

'Halfway To Paradise' was one of Billy Fury's biggest hits in the U.K.
It peaked at #3 on the chart in May 1961
