Dodie Stevens had a hit with "Pink Shoe Laces" when she was 13

(Ralph Crane. 1959?)

1960

Answer song to Are You Lonesome Tonight? first recorded by Charles Hart in 1927 (adapted by Elvis Presley in 1960). Dodie Stevens was 14 when she recorded this.

Here is the original version :

And an hilarious live version in which Elvis changed the lyrics from "do you gaze at your front door and wish I was there" to "do you gaze at your bald head and wish you had hair"? Then an older gentleman sitting up front took off his wig and started swaying it to the music. It cracked Elvis up (copied from a YouTube comment).
