This is a list of songs, that Elvis is rumored to have recorded, or done live, or both.
For the most part, I have attempted to exclude songs that I know they exist, and might become
available, for the most they are from on stage performances in the period; 1969-1977
(either through hearing it on a concert tape, or through concert info provided by others on the Internet, or
who have the show on tape, or through looking at old newspapers.)

The songs below are listed with all the info that I have on them right now.
If anyone has any further information, I'd love to hear from you, so that I can update
and correct this web-page.
As for now, this is the only information I have at the moment.
Here is the List :

1954 - 1955 Sun Studios, Louisiana Hayride, On Tour :
Old Shep
10-3-1944 Mississippi-Alabama Fair and Dairy Show
Mabe there was a tape made, The show itself was recorded on tape.

In 1987 RCA said they found the master and would release it later in 1987.......still waiting for
that one to come out.

In 1982 RCA said that Elvis May have recorded it in 1955, they had session notes but couldn't find

("The Louisiana Hayride".)
I Almost Lost My Mind

From the Sun years, these are the songs I think are most likely to be real and to show up
sometime (bear in mind that "Fool, Fool, Fool," as well as the two 1953 songs that started it all
and "I'll Never Stand in Your Way," were on this list before and were not considered
very likely to appear, and that Elvis' limited repertoire might have forced him to sing
many different songs at the Hayride and on tour.
The release of "Hearts of Stone," for example, caught me and this list totally by surprise):
It Wouldn't Be The Same Without You
Without You
Rag Mop
Satisfied
Oakie Boogie
Always Late (With Your Kisses)
Tennessee Saturday Night
Night Train To Memphis
Casual Love Affair
Uncle Penn
Rock Around The Clock

Next Week : 1956-1958.
