This song was Elvis Presley's. Elvis Presley and Johnny Rivers were friends. Johnny Rivers stole the song from Elvis. Elvis Presley brought Johnny Rivers to his home. And could not wait but play Memphis Tennessee. For his friend Johnny Rivers. Call Johnny Rivers could do is rant and rave how great it. Elvis was kicking ass with this on. Elvis told Donnie everything's all worked out I'm getting ready to record the song. 1964 it would have been a number one hit for Elvis. And he would have made 50% on the royalties of the. That's how Colonel Parker had everything set up when I was dead recordings. But anyways the next thing you know I was heard the song on the radio Johnny River singing Memphis Tennessee. No it was disappointed because he stole the song. Alice did not make any fuss over it. Ella said if he needs the song that bad let him have. Thing was Elvis could have use that song in 1964 he continues to hit. Because ours was doing nothing but movies. Elvis lived in Memphis Tennessee so that's why it would have been a great trademark for Elvis. Chuck Berry and I wish her friends. And it was all arranged for Elvis to do the song. I do not know how Johnny Rivers got away by doing that. If all the publishers and everybody knew that I was going to cut it. I heard the story today, because of Memphis Mafia wrote it in their book. Johnny Rivers try to deny it say that's not how it went down. But all the guys around Elvis said bullshit. I guess those big thing I guess it was a big thing. I was never told nobody I was never told the press or nothing. I'm going to check more into it. But go listen to Elvis Presley's version of Memphis Tennessee. The way Johnny Rivers is doing his exact way Elvis was recording it so Donnie river is copied everything from Elvis arrangement.

@Joan In Florida _not sure if you watched Dick Clark's 'American Bandstand' over the years, but most music artists did not play live. (Johnny Rivers was barely 22 here, so when you looked like this, all you had to do was show up). One of the greatest musicians from the 1960s for sure._

It's 1964(and Dick Clark's guests rarely, if ever performed 'live'). He was barely 22 here, and not sure about you, but he was incredibly easy on the eyes._

@@Gilbert_Dice_Gottfried Johnny does a great job with a great Chuck song, however, he was a "friend" of Elvis and while visiting Elvis at home, Elvis, excited, but somewhat naively played Johnny the acetate of what was going to be his next single....next thing, a version by Johnny was rushed out ahead of Elvis....Johnny says he had recorded it for release on an album and it was his manager and record company's decision to release it as a single when they did. According to Elvis's friends, EP was pi$$ed, and JR was banned from his home, but he calmed down and said "if he needs the hit that much let him have it" EP's guitar player JB said Elvis still respected JR and they spoke again later in the 70s. Elvis only released alternative versions on albums. However, he can be heard singing it live with what might have been his original arrangement(similar to what JR released)

But the one he wropte and they held onto, gave him that number one, and when we listen to ity, IT IS PERFECTION.The poor side of town. Being renounmced by the "club" is almost a badge of honor. They all; know he never had a band but used the best in the biz, THINK HOW SMART THAT IS!! Jim Gordon is in his monterey pieces, Hal Blaine.

Years later Carlos again ACDC Blue Oysters Bruce Springsteen, Dr John, different version of Jefferson Airplane had tickets to Stones twice ( had 12 tickets for Capital Center show...always sold my Stones to kets to rich college girls) Though Hendrix and Carlos were my favs, Springsteen put on Best show. Very best all around Gato Barbieri ( RIP) Though he could not speak English, my Latin wife and him talked for half hour.

Well, maybe they're aware that this is Black music, stolen and repackaged with a white guy. Did you see any Blacks in the audience? Do you also realize that for the most part, Black people weren't allowed on television in those days... PS I didn't give a thumbs up or down and I know the history of the USA, maybe you get a bit more education. Just saying.
