Song of the Day: My Way (Live)

45 years ago today at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, Elvis Presley performed in front of a live crowd for the very last time. Today’s featured song isn’t from that concert, but it is from the Elvis in Concert album, which were filmed and recorded just 5 and 7 days prior in two different cites. To fit the somber tone of today, I decided to go with this Frank Sinatra classic that Elvis kind of made his own. Personally, this song is one of my least favorite songs from Elvis’s catalog, but not because of the performance of it, he does fantastic, the lyrics are just too eerie. Especially for a man who first performed it as a 38 year old man. Today however, I think it fits what I’m going for. This version is from that last concert series in that Elvis in Concert album. I will also include the CBS special at the bottom here it highlights from those concerts 5 and 7 days before his last performance.
