[@nicokanakaris]

@elvisinmunich amen to that,ray charles all over again,curtis sings jazz but in a very soulminded way

[@mdz255]

@Lavizzle even though elvis changed the words and made the song better and famous

[@elvisinmunich]

Great version! However, without Elvis this song would still be unknown. Credit where credit is true. Curtis Stigers' voice sounds so much like Ray Charles!

[@tabbeej]

should be Ohios' favourite son !

[@jimbrenton6706]

tabbeej . Lol He is from Idaho. And he is loved here.

[@mdz255]

@Lavizzle yea its a shame that elvis had no control over his career he had a bad manager

[@ThirdstarStudios]

@mdz255 Just like with "Hound Dog" he changed the lyrics into googoo-gaga caliber nonsense so that white people could stay sheltered from real life...
His version of "That's Alright" is ok musically... I agree with Jerry Lieber (of Lieber & Stoller), though, in that Elvis' versions of RnB songs are DEFINITELY not "better"... just more accessibly commercial.
Elvis was talented, he just had no control over his career.

Kudos for not attributing "That's Alright" to Elvis
