Elvis Presley
A Little Less Conversation (1968)
(Mac Davis/Billy Strange)
There are two versions around. One is from the soundtrack of Elvis’ 1968
movie "Live a Little, Love a Little" (in the key of A). During a recording
studio session for the 1968 television special, Elvis did a new version
of the song (in the key of E). It ended up not being used in the TV show
at all and was first released 30 years later on "Memories: The '68 Comeback
Special". This second version was used for the JXL Radio Edit Remix included
on "Elvis 30 #1 Hits".
