Toussaint Tuesday
Less than 2 weeks after I started this blog, I posted one of my faves by Toussaint McCall. Since my readership has increased a lot since those days waayyyyy back in December 2004, I felt it necessary to offer up this re-post.
Click here now to see my post on Toussaint’s classic: “Nothing Takes the Place of You” (mp3 link

I’ve had several searches today for Elvis’ “laughing” version of “Are You Lonesome Tonight”. I’m thinking it’s because Howard Stern played it a couple of times on his show this morning (once with Lisa Marie in the studio).
So here’s a re-post.
For the King – Are You Lonesome Tonight? (the laughing version)
I’d love to find out more info on this (e.g. where and when)… this is Elvis performing “Are You Lonesome Tonight” and experiencing a fit of uncontrollable laughter for most of the song. Quality stuff.
One for the King
Well before I plop myself in front of the TV this weekend, tune in to AMC, and watch some quality Elvis movies (GI Blues, Paradise Hawaiian Style, Girls! Girls! Girls! to name a few), I have to pay my respects to the King on his 70th birthday. Here’s a great blues tune recorded in 1960 after his return from the Army. ‘Reconsider Baby’ was composed and performed originally by Lowell Fulson in 1954 (that’s the fella pictured below).
Happy Birthday Elvis.
