"Stuck On You" is a classic example of how effortlessly Elvis could crank out a solid pop-rock recording in just a few takes. In this session, Elvis' first after exiting the army, he was there specifically to record his first single. He produced six top-notch tunes, more than enough of a sample from which to choose sides for a single. Although some fine blues tunes were in the mix, "Stuck On You" was the sure pop hit that was needed. Like "All Shook Up", there's a catchy shuffling rhythm that acts as the framework for Elvis' bouncy and playful vocals, accented with some full stops. I'm sure as soon as the third take was in the can, "Stuck On You" was the clear choice! I'll write more later, I promise. Meanwhile, relax, follow the links and make yourself comfortable. |
Other Spins(What did the critics and fans say?)Another fine performance is "Stuck On You". This has a rock tempo, more gentle than the rockers of the 1950s. It is attractive, and beautifully recorded with everything balanced and clear. Presley sings in a relaxed manner, totally in command, and this recording has achieved classic status. Robert Matthew-Walker, Elvis Presley: A Study in Music, 1979 The first release after his discharge from the army - as infectious as "All Shook Up". Can anyone roll "Grizzly Bear" off their tongue better than Elvis? Doubtful.
