June 21st in Elvis History

It’s June twenty-first, and on this day in 1961… Elvis Presley began a recording session at RCA’s studios in Nashville, laying down tracks that would appear on the *Pot Luck* album. Songs recorded included “Kiss Me Quick,” “That’s Someone You Never Forget,” and “I’m Yours.” The session featured Elvis’s trusted Nashville crew: Scotty Moore, Hank Garland, and Neal Matthews on guitar; Bob Moore on bass; Floyd Cramer and Gordon Stoker on piano; Boots Randolph on saxophone; and vocal backing from the Jordanaires and Millie Kirkham. The recordings captured the smooth, polished pop sound that defined much of Elvis’s early 60s output.
