I always found it hard to appreciate 1950's-music. It was too happy and trouble-free. For me, music really took off in the 1960's with Bob Dylan, Jefferson Airplane, Stones, Beatles (overlooking their early pre-LSD work).

Sorry to rain on your parade. :P

Conway Twitty who they hired to help Elvis on his version...
http://www.stradsplace.com/public_html/ ... Twitty.mp3

Unfortunately, Elvis never recorded "It's Only Make Believe".....however, when Conway Twitty (real name: Harold Loyd Jenkins) recorded, "It's Only Make Believe", people actually thought that it was, in fact, Elvis. Elvis was so good he didn't need any "help", anyway. :) Except, in his last couple of years of touring (1976-1977), backing singer, Shaun Neilsen, would "cover" for Elvis on the high notes and bass singer Larry Strickland, formerly of J.D. Sumner & The Stamps Quartet, would cover Elvis's low notes. As a matter of fact, on the released single of "Unchained Melody", the last four high notes that you hear are Shaun and not Elvis.

Erwin - Patsy Cline is one of the one female singers I rate. *All the memories of GTA San Andreas flood back*
The ironic thing is that Richie Valens went to Pacoima junior high school in 1957, which was the scene of the wreckage from the Pacoima Mid-air collision between a DC7-B and a F89 Scorpion fighter aircraft. He vowed never to fly after that, but, well, that didn't last, sadly.
