Love this short interview with Elvis before leaving on his tour of duty in Germany. He exhibits such boyish innocence and humility.

September 22, 1958:

Such a beautiful love song as evidenced by the many luminaries that covered it (Man did Bono ever butcher it!). Although none had the voice of Elvis …

Just another Bob masterpiece. Ho hum. Can’t fathom how he churned out so many extraordinary lyrics.

The Original

Bob Dylan:

Dylan and The Band played it at The Last Waltz and I thought that I had heard it somewhere but apparently not. Can’t find it anywhere and I looked in a lot of places. I wanted it because the songs that are available of Bob and The Band at The Last Waltz are simply extraordinary. I offer up the concert for Bangladesh as a consolation prize of sorts.

The one thing that I will always remember regarding this beautiful song took place in early 1986. Pete and I went to see The Band at some fairground in Miami. Phenomenal show. The show ended with Richard Manuel doing vocals on I Shall Be Released. A few days later, after their next show in Winter Park, Richard Manuel hung himself. Can’t help but believe that Richard new what he was about to do as he sang it.

Many critics consider this to be the greatest cover of all time. It’s hard to argue with. Dylan himself said something to the effect that this is Jimi’s song.
