Elvis was the best then Willie. This version that's probably good back in the time because the other two has a recorded yet. Normally the first version of usually the best I'm now you get a guy like Elvis Presley I'm now you get a guy like Elvis Presley come in and make it his own and just make you feel the song Brenda Lee I don't feel it.
