1962 studio album by Elvis Presley
Pot Luck with Elvis studio album by American singer and musician Elvis Presley , released on RCA Victor in mono and stereo , LPM/LSP 2523, in May 18, 1962. Recording sessions took place on March 22, 1961, at Radio Recorders in Hollywood , and on June 25 and October 15, 1961, and March 18 and March 19, 1962, at RCA Studio B in Nashville, Tennessee . It peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Top LP's chart.[5]
Content
[ edit ]
The album is dominated by the songwriting team of Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman , who had written the chart-topping "Surrender " and the double-sided hit single "(Marie's the Name) His Latest Flame " backed with "Little Sister ".[6] Kiss Me Quick " and "Suspicion " would be pulled off for a Top 40 single almost two years later in April 1964, following a hit cover version of the latter song by Terry Stafford (an Elvis sound alike).[7] Don Robertson , Otis Blackwell , and Paul Evans , with Blackwell's "(Such an) Easy Question " also being used as a single release in June 1965 and climbing to #1 and #11 on, respectively, the Billboard Adult Contemporary and Hot 100 charts, during a time when Presley was involved mostly in feature film and soundtrack work.[8]
"That's Someone You Never Forget ", with concept and title by Presley, was written in conjunction with Red West and possibly in memory of Elvis' deceased mother, Gladys Presley .[9] Billboard Hot 100B-side to the single "Long Legged Girl (With the Short Dress On)".[10] You'll Be Gone ", written by Presley and West, this time with fellow "Memphis Mafia " cohort Charlie Hodge , would appear as the b-side to "Do the Clam ".[11] Blue Hawaii [12]
Although like its predecessors in 1960 and 1961 – Elvis Is Back! Something For Everybody Pot Luck easily made the top ten on the album chart, all three had been vastly outsold by the soundtrack albums G.I. Blues Blue Hawaii , a pattern that would continue to hold for Presley through the mid-1960s.[13] Colonel Tom Parker went against standard practice in the American record industry by refusing to include hit singles on albums, which would have likely increased sales.[13] gospel studio album for another seven years, until From Elvis in Memphis
Reissues
[ edit ]
The July 13, 1999, Compact Disc reissue altered the running order of the album, and included five bonus tracks in two sides of one single, one b-side, and two tracks from the 1965 compilation album LSP 3450, Elvis for Everyone Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller , while "You'll Be Gone " had been issued as a b-side in 1965. Given the nature of the Elvis for Everyone LP, compiled from sessions spanning a ten-year stretch, RCA opted not to include it as part of its reissue program, appending its songs as bonus tracks to other albums as appropriate. The bonus tracks were all recorded at Studio B in Nashville.
Pot Luck was reissued on the Follow That Dream label in 2007 in a deluxe 2-disc CD collection containing the original album along with numerous alternate takes from the original recording sessions.[14]
