Title: FIT FOR A KING
Product review: ELVIS PRESLEY-30 #1 HITS: Forget the twinkle in his stare, the curl in his lip, the swagger in his hip...if you can, that is. Never mind the stellar songwriting contributions of LEIBER & STOLLER, OTIS BLACKWELL, and MAC DAVIS. Sweep aside the spendid musical colorings of SCOTTY MOORE, JAMES BURTON, and THE JORDANAIRES. What really mattered most was the testifying richness, the ear-bending clarity, and the soul-bangin' expression in THAT VOICE. A fan of almost all musical styles, ELVIS tackled RNB, country, gospel, rock, and tin pan alley...and did 'em ALL well. Revisiting JAILHOUSE ROCK, HARD HEADED WOMAN, CRYING IN THE CHAPEL, SUSPICIOUS MINDS, and BURNING LOVE is like hot-wiring your brain into the greatest jukebox on the planet. Despite a notable lack of his early heatsinkers for the SUN label, and a trash-dance remix of A LITTLE LESS CONVERSATION that's a bit too hip for its own good, this is a sound, profound roundup that's truly fit for a KING.RATING: FIVE JUMPSUITS
