T-R-O-U-B-L-E (HISTORY) When ELVIS heard this song for the first time He said "this song will be a Rock Standard". He released it in 1975. Wayne Newton cut it in about 1980. Both of these were wonderful records and Newton opened his show with it for months. However down in Georgia a teenager named Travis Tritt heard the Elvis record and started doing it in clubs night after night. Then in 1992, Travis made good the Elvis prediction and recorded the Standard Version. The Single took off like gangbusters. The Number One video followed. The Superbowl Version covered the world. The "Son-In-Law " Movie usage, sure didn't hurt. The "TROUBLE" album was in the Billboard chart for months. Then "The Greatest Hits From the Beginning" album included it and hung in the chart for four years. Now it's in the "ROCKIN SIDE" Travis Tritt album and still in the charts after ten years. The BMI radio plays have logged in the millions, simply proving............GREAT SONGS NEVER DIE !!!!!!!!!!!! JERRY |
