Case in point is his recording of "Trying to Get to You"--which, as far as I know, is the only song by the Eagles that Elvis Presley covered. Whereas the Eagles' version from 1954 (which I have on a 78 rpm disc), has more of a doo-wop sound, Presley's version, from about a year later, reflects more of a rockabilly influence.
That was a great example.Thanks for the links! Elvis actually put more soul into the song...
It should be noted that the ‘54 Eagles were a completely different band than the 70’s Eagles.
