That's literally one of the best songs Elvis ever recorded. It's funny I talked about this song a little while ago and now, reading about the recording session on "Elvis Presley: A Life In Music" by Ernst Jorgensen, a flawless job put together with priceless details on Elvis' legacy, his musicians, producers and staff and their geniality in making records (I guess that's my favorite book on Elvis, really), I see I wasn't the only one taken with Boots Randolph's saxophone solo, Elvis was taken too.

Elvis’s take on Chuck Willis’s 1954 hit “I Feel So Bad” was effective, but the fast pace of the session resulted in an aural anomaly: Evidently Elvis walked over to cheer Boots on during his solo, and as a result the saxophone suddenly shifts from the left channel onto Elvis’s center channel on the master. (Remarkably, it happened on both takes, but nobody noticed until it was too late.)

You can hear the channel shift precisely at 2:04:

Recorded on March 12, 1961: RCA’s Studio B. Nashville.

Chet Atkins, Floyd Cramer, Boots Randolph – Chet, Floyd & Boots (1971)

[anotheruserwithnoname]

That post about the Benny Hill Theme blasting near Parliament caused the tune to get stuck in my head, so to get it out of there, here’s a great clip from the 1960s of Boots Randolph and Chet Atkins duetting on the original Yakety Sax/Yakety Axe, with a bonus piano solo from Floyd Cramer. At the time, all 3 were associated with Elvis Presley: Atkins was one of his producers and occasionally played; Randolph was his regular sax player at the time, and Floyd Cramer often played piano for Elvis on record too (he’s on Heartbreak Hotel, for example)...
