I need information about these photos of Elvis from the movie King Creole, what song is he singing since I haven't seen it in the movie and it could be that it was cut from the film.

Naive question: is the footage totally lost?

Yes, often rockers believe the opposite but it was DANNY who came out first. LONELY BLUE BOY came out in 59 by Conway Twitty. And it would be wise for someone before my death to release the deleted scenes from the films, that would be cool, well I would like to. There would be enough to make a DVD.

Actually, no.

The recording of "Danny" was unissued until 1978. "Lonely Blue Boy" in 1959 was the first anyone heard of the Ben Weisman and Fred Wise song, albeit with a verse changed.

My comment was a tongue-in-cheek response to the cutting of "Danny" from the 1958 Paramount film.

For those not familiar with the song by Conway Twitty here it is:




On a personal note I don't like this version of the song (or Twittys voice on it in particular) but taste will always be a subjective thing and I'm sure others will love this.
