Thanks for another great one Brian!........
It's hard to imagine another artist other than Elvis that could warrent his own Originalville.........
At least not another artist later than Elvis........
...looking forward to the Delaughter interview.....

Posted by: Will J at September 16, 2006 2:23 PMHello Brian!
His Latest Flame wasn' t written by Del Shannon, in fact it was Doc Pomus & Mort Shuman who were the composers.
Yours sincerely,
Anders Thyrell
P.S Keep up the good work!
Posted by: Anders Thyrell at September 17, 2006 11:52 AMWonderful show Brian! A few of these originals were every bit as good as the later version by Elvis I guess this shows how good Elvis and his people were at finding great songs and songwriters.
Mark James also wrote "Hooked on a feeling", covered by a few, including "The Hoffmeister" himself!

Okay, the Spike Jones version of "You Always Hurt the One You Love" makes a lot more sense now. Clearly an Al Jolson parody.
