Stuck On You

"Stuck on You," was one of Elvis's most playful songs and one of his biggest hits. Recorded in RCA's Studio B with the famous Nashville "Dream Team," including the Jordanaires, Hank Garland, and Floyd Cramer it is available on Elvis's Golden Records Vol. III. This particular cut recorded in 1960 sold over two million copies and reached Number One on Billboard's charts, as well as achieving high positions on country and R&B charts. The performance of "Stuck on You" proved the high point of the evening in May 1960 as Elvis performed the tune with the Jordanaires on Frank Sinatra's "Welcome Home" Special celebrating Elvis's separation from the Army and his return to civilian life. The performance of this song is seen as one of Elvis's finest moments, as, in the first ten seconds, Elvis breaks new ground with dance moves not seen again until many years later, and filming him "from the waist up" is but a memory. Check out Elvis's cool "slide move" in the first ten seconds of the video clip of Sinatra's television special.
