Well, not bad at all for such a bold choice. Elvis' master take is no doubt one of his masterpieces. A BIG favourite of mine.

Thanks for posting this.

Yes, I also think it's a great rendition by Elvis. You've got the one where the Jords covers up his mistake, right?

I thought Sayaka struggled a little with this. She's normally fantastic. She could maybe have brought it down half a tone.

I'm happy to watch her struggle, any day, John ! I like that the video is "unedited". Her vocal tone is fantastic. It's just good to see that she is still around and doing Elvis - and just as natural as ever.

Yes, she's very charming and it was lovely to see.

Thanks - just spotted this. 74 (feel about 44) and 59 years following Elvis !

ROCK AND ROLL GODDESS.

ROCK AND ROLL GODDESS.

Always.

I did put a plea on her latest video for a full version of I Want You, INY, ILY. It features in a medley she did years ago and the tonal quality in her voice was magical.

I hope we don't have to wait another year for the next one, but time moves on and she may have other projects and interests taking up her time. For me, she should be in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame for carrying on the legacy of Elvis and rock 'n' roll music generally. Plus she's a highly talented singer and guitarist.

Sayaka is back !

Song Of The Shrimp.

I don't remember seeing this before, that's not to say it hasn't been on before.

Here's another one, Datin'.

Thanks, John. "Song Of The Shrimp" is apparently seven years old, but new to me all the same.

"Datin'" is brand new. Funnily enough, the song seems to fit Sayaka better than Elvis.

She's beautiful. Also she seems like a sweet young woman.

Wonder if she'd like life down here in Southern Alabama?
