Description

NOTE: This episode was recorded before news broke that early rock legend Lloyd Price (Stagger Lee, Lawdy Miss Clawdy) had passed away May 9, 2021. We will be addressing this on our next episode.  Also - those familiar to the show will note that there is a cold open this week. This is deliberate, you will understand once you hear our news section as we have some sad news to report. This week, Professor Ladhar dons his tweed jacket again as we take a look at Elvis topping out the Billboard charts in 1957 with a "perfect Elvis song" - All Shook Up - on the very day that Jailhouse Rock began filming, and what other songs were rounding out the Top 10 that same week, touching on several Elvis connections including Ferlin Husky's "Gone" which is where Elvis heard soprano backing vocalist Millie Kirkham, and "Little Darlin" by The Diamonds, which he would go on to cover starting in 1975 with a recording appearing on "Moody Blue" from '77. For Song of the Week, Justin goes after a "Stranger in the Crowd" while Gurdip gets the catchy "Smokey Mountain Boy" from "Kissin Cousins" stuck in his head.

"Elvis is history," Carl Perkins once said, "and anytime anyone or anything becomes history, whether it be Pearl Harbor or Elvis, it will never go away. The world will never tire of his songs." TCBCast is an unofficial fan podcast featuring co-hosts Gurdip Ladhar and Justin Gausman, along with regular guest co-hosts Ryan Droste and Bec Wyles, plus an array of Elvis fans and experts setting out to better understand that history, and those songs. Tackling topics from throughout Elvis's lifetime and beyond, TCBCast seeks to offer thoughtful, intelligent, heartfelt and honest discourse on Presley's career, his influences, the people who made his work possible, and the cultural phenomenon surrounding his iconography. TCBCast is not associated with or endorsed by Graceland, Elvis Presley Enterprises, Authentic Brands Group or Sony.
