In January 1969, Neil Diamond was all set to record in Memphis until Elvis decided at the last minute to use the same studio as a way of breaking Col. Parker’s iron grip on his career. The King did record this song of Neil’s as a sort of thank you for the inconvenience. Here’s Mark Lindsay’s version; the clip has an intro from Top 40 station CJME in Regina, Saskatchewan. Neil eventually cut “Holly Holy” and “Sweet Caroline” among others at those postponed sessions.
