Description

Episode 201 continues the discussion on Gurdip, Justin and Bec's hand-picked Elvis fan "starter kits," focusing in on documentaries, biopics and movies starring Elvis from during his career recommended for newer fans. Then, for Song of the Week, histories behind three well-loved Elvis songs are covered, from different eras of Elvis's career: Bec starts us off in the 1970s with Elvis's live cover of the BJ Thomas classic "I Just Can't Help Believin'," Justin spotlights Elvis's 1965 gospel hit "Crying in the Chapel" and we hear the true story of what happened when Elvis was confronted by Carol Fran, the soul singer whose version of "Chapel" was eclipsed by his hit. Gurdip closes us out by going all the way back to the beginning and showcasing "Harbour Lights" from Elvis's first recorded session at Sun Studio in 1954.

"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.
