”Viva Las Vegas” was a forgettable movie from 1964 which came out as Elvis Presley’s career was being capsized by the first wave of the British Invasion. (His career wouldn’t return full bore until the Fathers of Hot Country brought it back in 1968. I’ll do those songwriters as a future project.) The title song from the movie by
Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman ended up having a life of its own, becoming an anthem over the decades. It was a fitting way to end a career.
Elvis Presley: “Viva Las Vegas”
This was something special. These guys gave it a different spin altogether!
ZZ Top: “Viva Las Vegas”
Springsteen did an album of Elvis tunes, and it’s funny how another showman could out-rock Elvis.
Bruce Springsteen: “Viva Las Vegas”
Even the punk rockers could do something with this classic, although they treat it with irony.
Dead Kennedys: “Viva Las Vegas”
In 1965, Doc Pomus took a severe fall, and he spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair. Doc and Mort split up, and Doc spent the next decade as a professional gambler. By the late Seventies, Doc was working again, this time with Dr. John and B. B King. In 1991, Doc Pomus became the first white man to win the R&B Foundation’s Pioneer Award. In March 1991, Doc’s four-pack-a-day habit caught up with him, and he died of lung cancer. In 1992 he was voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Mort Shuman moved to Paris, then wrote, produced and starred in “Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris”, which made his fortune. He moved to London and wrote tunes for a number of shows that never got staged. Mort died of liver disease in November 1991.
Their music lives on!
