Interesting choice from Mike and Bruce. It's a very nice song. I always wondered what Brian's favorite Presley song was. My guess - but it's not more than that - would be "His latest flame" or "The wonder of you" since there's footage of Brian playing these two on piano. "One night (of sin)" is so inferior compared to the released "One night" imo.

Title: Re: Favorite Elvis tune countdown (including Mike Love & Bruce Johnston's picks) Post by: Rocker on August 04, 2014, 07:21:45 AM "Paralyzed"! My all-time favourite Elvis recording. Where's the rest? I only see the first part which stops with "Loving you"..... Anyway, "Paralyzed" is a very cool tune. Thankfully we also have a live version from December 1956 and a version recorded during the Million Dollar Quartet session in the same month. Scotty Moore's guitar line on that tune is just so "funny" (for lack of a better word). "One night (of sin)" is so inferior compared to the released "One night" imo. I don't know but it could be. It's far from being virtuosic so who knows. He's likely playing the electric guitar on the released version. That guitar probably was Scotty Moore's 56 Gibson Super 400 CESN which can be seen here played by Elvis: (http://www.elvispresleymusic.com.au/pictures/img/elvis/50s/57/1957_may_jailhouse_rock.jpg) Scotty gave the guitar to Chips Moman and so it found it's way onto Elvis' '69 recordings of "Kentucky rain" and "Suspicious minds" played by Reggie Young.

We are paying tribute to Elvis during August since he passed away in August '77. It was really fun seeing the response from listeners as well as other artists. I had an artist pick "Paralyzed" in an upcoming show. Mike and Bruce were the only 2 I got on tape saying their favorite tune and it was cool that they both picked the same one!
