Elvis sings Temptation

Post by Troubleman »

Do you recall Elvis’ great version of the song ‘Temptation’?

No. Well neither do I. This is the strangest sheet music of Elvis I have. The song is copyright 1933 for having appeared in the MGM musical ‘Going Hollywood’. The cover appears to be from the UK, and it was produced circa 1973 or later, since it has the Aloha photo on the cover. But why was it associated to Elvis is a mystery.

If any member has more information on this sheet music I would love to hear from you.

The song is likely owned by one of Elvis’ publishing companies.

Yes, that is probably it. The song was covered by the Everly Brothers in 1961.

Yes, that's a new one. Still strange they printed "recorded by Elvis Presley" on it. The song would have suited Elvis' voice very much I think.
