Elvis Presley
Just Tell Her Jim Said Hello (1962)
(Leiber/Stoller)
Originally the B-Side of the Single "Stuck on You"
Then on "Elvis' Gold Records, Vol. 4" and other Greatest Hits compilations
A sweet little nothing of a song. Don't know why, but I really like it.
Maybe it's the strange progression in the Middle 8? Maybe the interesting
change the lick takes with the G chord? Is it Elvis' voice which is soooo
creamy here? Or . . .
