"I Beg Of You" was the flip-side of the million-selling hit ballad, "Don't", but stands on its own as a nice bouncy pop-rock tune, which Elvis delivers in fine style. The second time around on the bridge, where he sings "Hoooooold my hand and promise..." is a classic moment! More to come later, meanwhile, check out the music, videos and links! |
Other Spins(What did the critics and fans say?)"I Beg Of You" is... a medium-tempo "soft" rocker, with the Jordanaires adding a distinctive background. Presley's voice is in good shape; he trumps a previous ace by his treatment of the word "hold" in "hold my hand" - he erupts suddenly on a long pitched growl, in true blues-shouter style. Robert Matthew-Walker, Elvis Presley: A Study in Music, 1979 Smooth mover with Elvis in vocal control and the Jordanaires perfectly filled in.
