“Jailhouse Rock” was recorded by Elvis Presley for the film of the same name. It was written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller and released by RCA Victor in 1957. It reached the top of the charts in the U.S. and the top 10 in several other countries. The song has been recognized by the Grammy Hall of Fame, the American Film Institute and others.
In the 1957 movie “Jailhouse Rock”, Vince Everett (Elvis Presley), is convicted of manslaughter after being drawn into a bar fight while trying to defend a woman. In prison, Everett finds salvation when his cellmate hears him sing and pegs him as a future star.
From his second feature film, here is Elvis Presley singing and dancing to “Jailhouse Rock”.
Well, that was a fun video. Those hips alone could land him in jail!
Talking about shaking things up, it’s hard to believe another month is half over and I’ve got news coming up here in The Rhythm Section. Stick around or you’ll miss it!
Thanks for hanging out with me today; come on back next week for some more great tunes.
See you on the flip side.

I remember liking the movie Blue Hawaii, but mostly for the scenery which seemed so exotic and almost foreign at the time.

I always thought it would be nice to go to Hawaii, not the big cities but some out-of-the way tropical spot no one knows about.

EP was not for me! However, the landlady of my local pub is fanatic and the whole bar is like a shrine to the man! A few years ago, the late Lisa Marie had an English bolthole in a nearby village and was regular there along with her son before he passed.

He certainly did rock a few worlds. I was never a huge Elvis fan but there were times when his voice sounded so sweet and full of emotion. He was damn good-looking, too.

I think a lot of us forget that he could sing.
