“You Don’t Know Me” (Elvis) #44 11/18/1967

The B-side of "Big Boss Man" from the King, originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1956 and done many times since. Jerry Vale had a Top 20 pop hit with the song at that time but Ray Charles did the definitive version in 1962. Elvis decided by now to record songs he truly liked instead of the constant drivel he was given for those movies. He’d had enough, and did a pretty serviceable job here. This song was added to the “Clambake” soundtrack.
