A great little gem from the New York recordings in early 1956, "One-Sided Love Affair" features great boogie woogie piano, by Shorty Long, and Elvis is at the top of his game, hiccupping and shouting out the lyrics and obviously having a great time with the song!
I'll add some more later, but meanwhile check out the music and links. |
Other Spins(What did the critics and fans say?)A very good rock number can be found in "One-Sided Love Affair". Presley is in bouncy voice, with a 'hup' quality of humour and toe-tapping zest. Robert Matthew-Walker, Elvis Presley: A Study in Music, 1979 More country and western than straight rock 'n' roll, but a crisp mover from the second RCA grouping.
