Elvis Presley - Anything That's Part Of You - From First Take To The Master

- Quite often the pleasure in listening to an Elvis song from the very first take through to the master is experiencing the process that is involved in the making a recording and witnessing the changes or tweaks, often subtle, which are required in making a song suitable for release but with the Don Robertson penned "Anything That's Part Of You" that experience is totally different as unlike the norm where early takes are often far inferior to the final master with this song every complete take is magnificent.
Elvis recorded the song on 15 October 1961 in RCA's Studio B in Nashville and decided that he had found the master take after completing take ten but in truth almost any of the previous six complete takes would still have been of a high enough quality to be chosen as the master. There are some subtle differences between the first take and those that followed in that a guitar can be heard behind Floyd Cramer's utterly wonderful piano playing but in subsequent takes this guitar was removed and introduced only in the second verse and those takes benefit from that subtle change. The second take however is probably the only take which could not have been considered for the master as it contains a mistake by Elvis with the lyrics.
From Floyd Cramer's incredible piano intro the listener is immediately hooked but when Elvis begins it is difficult not to feel yourself completely immersed in the song. Elvis begins at barely a whisper as he tells the story of his desperation at his lost love and how he clings to any reminder of her that he can but it is in the third where the song really takes the breath away as whilst still barely raising his voice Elvis adds power and the listener is left in doubt about the desolation of the protagonist which is compounded by the almost bare arrangement. Many of Elvis' 70's recordings would undoubtedly have benefited from Elvis using a similar style instead of the bombast which he often reverted to but "For Ol' Times Sake" recorded at Stax is one occasion where a similar style was employed by Elvis.
Five songs were recorded by Elvis that Sunday evening with two songs either side of "Anything That's Part Of You" and whilst "For The Millionth An The Last Time", "Good Luck Charm", "I Met Her Today" and "Night Rider" are all fine recordings none are of the same quality. Present in the studio along with Elvis that evening were Scotty Moore and Jerry Kennedy on guitars, D.J. Fontana and Murray "Buddy" Harman on drums, Floyd Cramer on piano and organ with Homer "Boots" Randolph on sax and clarinet. Vocal accompaniment was provided by The Jordanaires and Millie Kirkham and the whole thing produced by RCA's Steve Sholes.
It is a pity that this fine recording, amongst the best of Elvis' career, was relegated to the "B" side of the more radio friendly "Good Luck Charm" meaning that it would never receive the recognition it deserves and would remain largely unknown outside of Elvis' own fandom.
Added purely for reasons of completeness at the end of the video is the 2104 re-recording of the song's backing by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra which could only be found as a bonus track on the "If I Can Dream" vinyl boxset and it being hidden away on the boxset can only be counted as a blessing as it is quite awful. Everything that makes the original a hidden gem is completely ripped away as the song is bombarded with strings and completely overwhelms the original recording as the essence of the original is the bare arrangement. If ever there was a song recorded by Elvis which needed no added accompaniment is it surely "Anything That's Part Of You"!
As with all of these videos, to get the most out of the audio, I highly recommend you use ear /headphones and turn the volume up as much as you dare!

Heartbreaking song, but his voice is heavenly.
Он лучший, Он Король! Его исполнение любой песни проникает в каждую крупицу моей души. Элвис, я люблю Тебя ❤
They will never be another voice like Elvis it's God giving talent and this is my favorite
감미로운 목소리 ! 남자가 들어도 반할 목소리와 최고의 노래 !❤
Elvis could sing the prettiest songs and even when the material was subpar as the movie songs Elvis could make them masterpieces. Oh what a voice.
Arguably, this (master take #10) was among Elvis' very best. Certainly his voice was extraordinary, but this recording also owes it's credit to Floyd Cramer, the Jordinaires, and the other artists listed in the description above. In short, it's the 'sum of it's parts' that makes it legendary. Thank you Leon -for posting this, and YES, I listen via Sony noice canceling headphones :)
Beautiful song and voice👍
When a master of piano meets a master vocalist
I can’t recall who was the piano player
@ Floyd Cramer
Eine einmalig göttliche Stimme. Vielen lieben Dank, besser, meine
Sonne, geht es nicht !
Thank you Leon, so wonderful.

If you think that I don't love you and don't need you then you don't know me... Sad.. ❤

Elvis super dolcissimo
that's enough incredible, Elvis got the song at the first take. and it's not an easy song to sing. really, his voice he had at the beginning of the sixties, is my favorite.
Indeed a very difficult song to nail, it belongs to the category of songs that Elvis almost never sang again throughout his remaining career.
I agree about the incomparable quality of his voice at that time in his career!
Es muy triste escuchar la voz y la musica de este maravilloso cantante de todos. Los tiempos ya qué jamás dejare de escucharlo ,soy fanático por siempre ,mil gracias a quién la subio.

Thank you Leon, for making learning all there is to learn about Elvis
even more interesting than could be possible. When you think you have learned all, there is so much more to learn.
Don Robertson escribio. "Cualquier cosa es parte de ti" Como es sabido Robertson escribía las más bellas baladas. 😘 En esta linda canción Elvis repitió una y otra vez hasta quedar satisfecho con el resultado. La armonía vocal es un lindo marco para la media voz que utilizo Elvis en la melodía. 👑 sin olvidar los exquisitos arreglos para la versión acompañado de The Royal Philarmonic Orquestra. elaborada póstumamente. 💟💞💓💟💞💓💟💞💓💟💞💓🎻🎼🎶🎵🎸🎺🎷🎧 gracias mi muy querido Leon, linda edición!!! 😘💟😘💟😘💟😘💟💟😘💟😘💟😘💟😘

한국에서는 낙엽따라 가버린 사랑으로 번한되어서 불려짐
엘비스는 어머니가 돌아가신후
아버지가 재혼하자 평생 아버지와
얘기를 하지않았다
공연등으로 자주 집을 비우자
부인이 경호원과 눈이 맞아 바람을
피워 이혼을 했는데 그 이후
재혼을 하지않고 딸 하나와
죽을때까지 혼자 살았음
평생 어머니를 그리워하였으며
내가 진정으로 사랑한 여자는
세상 오직 한사람 뿐이었다고
측근에게 얘기했다고함
Awesome❤❤❤❤❤
Take 3, 4:34
이 때는 그래도 사랑이라게 촌티(?)나게 순수했나? 그 당시 아메리카 짜바리는 路上 金品 無斷...
Yea, Ditch the orchestra.
What a fantastic voice 😎
Super 👊👌💪💯💯💯💯💯
