Description
Short Song Description:
An Elvis medley of 3 of the King's Biggest Hits of the 1950's!
Long Song Description:
These songs were recorded at a sound check a few hours before we took the stage for a "Joshua Foxx Concert" in 2004.

Every time we fired up this medley, It would bring the "proverbial house" down. The King hasn't lost any of his magic, even after 50 years.
Story Behind the Song:
"Heartbreak Hotel" is a rock song by Elvis, with Bill Black (bass), Scotty Moore (guitar), D.J. Fontana (drums), Floyd Cramer (piano) and Elvis on rhythm guitar. Recorded in January 1956 in Nashville, the song introduced Elvis to a Worldwide Musical Audience.
