Elvis Presley – Good Rockin' Tonight -Unofficial Release

Many people have, at one time or another, tried to pinpoint the reasons for overnight success in the music business but, despite all the attempts that have, so far, been made, no one has succeeded in producing an infallible formula. Fortunately, no one ever will for, if they did, show business would die.

Despite the many meteoric rises to the top of the Hit Parade with which we are greeted in this incredibly fast moving times, none can match that of young Elvis Aron Presley from Tupelo, Mississippi, who, at the age of twenty-two has probably more smash hits to his credit than many a popular singer succeeds in reaching during his entire career. Dark haired, tall and good looking, Elvis Presley admits, with complete candour, that he thoroughly enjoys the fanatical acclaim with which the fans greet his every appearance and his delight at being paid such enormous sums of money for doing that which he most enjoys — singing the blues with a withering beat.

Ever since the overnight fame which his recording of “That’s All Right” brought to him, Elvis has notched hit after hit and, though by no means foolish about his enormous income, has been in the fortunate position of being able to indulge his love of motor cars and motor bicycles — the count in cars is at least four Cadillacs — to his heart’s content. But he has also taken this opportunity of assuring that his parents shall never have to worry for the future as they did in the past.

When all is said and done, the Presley personality and rhythm brought, in twenty-four hours, a deserved popularity which, for a considerable time, has kept Elvis right at the top.
