| T-R-O-U-B-L-E (HISTORY) What you're hearing is the first time Elvis ever sang T-R-O-U-B-L-E. Close your eyes and listen, you're in RCA Studio C in Hollywood, California and it's March 11, 1975. As Duke Bardwell, the featured bass guitarist related, "This is the first song of the evening; a rock number by Nashville's Jerry Chesnut". Elvis charged through with energy and elan. As Duke observed, Elvis was so good at that funky stuff. The first time ELvis heard the Demo of T-R-O-U-B-L-E he predicted, "This will be a Rock Standard". Now nearly 30 years later, it's more popular than ever, proving he was right !!! JERRY |
