A rock group from Portland, Oregon, called The Kingsmen, recorded 
their cover of “Louie Louie” at Northwestern, Inc., Motion Pictures and
Recording in Portland. The session cost $50 and was done in one take. 

The song Are You Lonesome To-night? debuted on Billboard’s Top 40 at
number 35 on November 14, moved a week later to number two and topped
the chart by November 28. It was Presley’s 15th chart-topping single, it held
the top position until January 9, 1961. The singles release was delayed by
RCA Records executives, who thought the song did not fit Presley’s new
(and publicized) style.

The song Moonlight Serenade was a Top Ten hit on the U.S. pop charts 
in 1939, reaching number three on the Billboard charts, where it stayed 
for fifteen weeks. In 1991,it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

The song "Burning Love", written by Dennis Linde and originally recorded by
country soul artist Arthur Alexander, was successfully covered by Elvis Presley, becoming his biggest hit record since "Suspicious Minds" in 1969 and his last
Top 10 hit in the Billboard Hot 100 or pop charts. It was recorded in the RCA
Studios in Hollywood, California.
