1 1956 “Heartbreak Hotel” Elvis Presley

Nat King Cole, well that is not even a discussion.

As for the second set, I am most definitely not a fan of either song, to the point I actually said something out loud to some folks who know me about this situation.

The best advice, and the route I took was: Compare the Bass Lines.

WOW!

Thanks for the selections, and I look forward to the next time you present one of these. I love it!
