SONG LIBRARY IS FOR ON-TOPIC DISCUSSION & CRITIQUES OF SPECIFIC SONGS ONLY.
All off-topic comments will be removed from this folder. If there are no existing topics from which to move them, then your comments will be deleted.

List of what constitutes off-topic comments:

On-topic comments cover critiquing all aspects of the song, providing in-depth commentary and adding new insights that others may have overlooked. Inspire us. If you only comment with "I like this song", please also give a reason why you like the song. Does it have a special meaning for you? This adds to the discussion and moves it forward. If you're starting a new song topic, provide links to video clips and other relevant song information where possible. Discuss all other general music topics in Katie General.

All posts in Song Library are STRICTLY MODERATED.

Well, since my baby left me,
I found a new place to dwell.
Its down at the end of lonely street
At heartbreak hotel.

You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.

And although its always crowded,
You still can find some room.
Where broken hearted lovers
Do cry away their gloom.

You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.

Well, the bell hops tears keep flowin,
And the desk clerks dressed in black.
Well they been so long on lonely street
They aint ever gonna look back.

You make me so lonely baby,
I get so lonely,
I get so lonely I could die.

Hey now, if your baby leaves you,
And you got a tale to tell.
Just take a walk down lonely street
To heartbreak hotel.

(words & music by mae b. axton - tommy durden - elvis presley)

I am one of the few people who like Katie singing this. I also think it great to see her in white and not the constant dark colours.

I'm with you on this one Barbara. This is indeed a great song.

Still surprised that there wasn't a topic yet.

As you may have noticed, I'm trying to put all songs here a-board :winkgrin:

I think this is an absolutely brilliant cover. I've never been a huge Elvis fan, but this cover is really great. And I agree with you, Barbara, it's kind of refreshing to see her in white for a change ;)

A very convincing performance of Katie imo. You're apparently on fire today, Ronald. ;) Do you have more Katie songs for us? 8-)

For me one of this typical, unbelievable Katie covers and her amazing talent to make a song into hers. I love this version much more and I'm a Elvis fan

This is a great cover. I really like it. Katie is such a talented bluessinger beside of all her other talents. Thank you for posting it, Ronald.

When I was young I was a professional R'n'R dancer, so I had to be a Elvis fan. But Katie is so much better in her version of HH!!! She brings an unbelievable power into that song.

It seems you're mistaken, and I join the others to say that I really like Katie's interpretation, she trully can sing everything :clap:

every Katie's touch turns a song Excellent. That one is a good proof.

What is amazing is about that song as well as "Blowing in the Wind" : both sang by really low&strong man Voices. It would be easy to be afraid a delicate feminine voice like Katie would not fits...but NO she succeed in turning them different and beautiful.


Thanks for posting this video with Mike Batt on the piano...a collector !
When was that video shot ?
Was it at her beginning ?
