Elvis returned to his new home on Getwell.
At Sun, Elvis with Scotty, Bill and DJ – had to record the B-side for Trying To Get To You. But after several attempts at When It Rains It Really Pours they broke up; probably because Elvis’ contract was about to be sold. RCA would release “When it Rains” as an album track on the mid-1960s Elvis For Everyone

Elvis Presley attends RCA studios in Nashville where he records fourteen Gospel songs for his upcoming LP “His Hand In Mine”. The album will reach #14 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart and be certified Platinum in 1992.
After Elvis travelled to Nashville by bus he joined all the regular Nashville musicians and backup singers.
In addition to regulars Scotty, Bill, D. J., and the Jordanaires, also on hand were guitarist Hank Garland, pianist Floyd Cramer, and saxophonist Boots Randolph. In four sessions of three hours each, starting at 6:30 in the evening and concluding at 8 the following morning, the group recorded 14 songs.
Elvis completed not only his album His Hand In Mine, but also single version of Surrender.
However Elvis was not satisfied with Crying In The Chapel, so this song was not released for another 5 years. In it’s year of release, it was the number #1 song in the UK in 1964, beating The Beatles in their home turf, even as they were replacing Elvis on the charts in his.

Elvis flew to Las Vegas. He was spotted by a gossip columnist Rona Barrett at the blackjack tables with a woman on each arm. Rona wrote in her column: ” everybody is commenting on how good Elvis Presley looks these days while he’s having fun at the International”. Elvis answer in response was: “That’s what a bad marriage does for you.”

This was the second night the musicians were together in the Jungle Room for a RCA recording session. They recorded a couple of instrumental tracks while waiting for Elvis to appear. Finally Elvis did, but only for a short time while there was a delivery of a shipment of Harley – Davidsons. Elvis insisted to take them for trial runs up and down the driveway and to Linda’s home, just around the corner.
After that Elvis appeared again in the Jungle Room, but now he had a Thompson submachine with him to play with.
In his Presley sessions book, Ernst Jorgensen explained how Elvis’s final recording session ended on October 30: “It was the night before Halloween, and when Elvis and some of his friends returned later they were dressed in gangster outfits and guns that must have alarmed the newer band members. The costume party effectively put an end to the evening’s work.”
Finally, it was almost morning, he apologized to the group admitting he was not in the good mood to record anything. So the session was called off.
Elvis arranged for all the musicians a ride home, even went so far to give J.D. Sumner his white limousine to ride back to Nashville in style.

Robert Goulet, who reached the Billboard Top 20 in 1964 with a song called “My Love, Forgive Me”, died while awaiting a lung transplant after being diagnosed with a rare form of pulmonary fibrosis. He was 73 and never got away from being the guy who was on tv when Elvis shot it.
A year after losing the top spot to Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain, Elvis Presley, with an income of $49 million during the previous 12 months, once again topped the Forbes list of highest-earning dead celebrities.
