Elvis Presley - C'mon Everybody - From First Take to the Master

The second song in the movie “Viva Las Vegas”, which sees the film's two lead stars on screen together, is "C'mon Everybody", which gives Ann Margret a good excuse to show off her dancing prowess whilst Elvis performs the song. "C'mon Everybody" is quite a lively little number, and has an endearing element of "Simon Says", in which it does appear that the two stars are having a ball!

Elvis recorded two masters of the song at Radio Recorders in Hollywood with the first the RCA master recorded on 9 July 1963 and the movie version the following day. The record master was achieved by the fifth take but only the second complete take but the movie master was a composite of take seven and a blues ending. The movie and record master versions can be identified by subtle differences, for example in the movie version the end of the line "I was raised with a guitar in my hand" is sung at double time and some alternate phrasing throughout the song.
The first complete takes of the record master included a blues ending but as the ending seemed to have been cut off, it was released without the blues ending.

After Elvis' recording was completed several overdubs were added at the MGM Sound Stage on 13 August 1963 with hand claps and finger snaps first to be added before a blues ending was recorded and spliced onto the end of the movie master. As the original recording of the blues ending has been lost, Sony/Follow That Dream used the audio from the Blu Ray release of the movie and spliced this onto the end of the movie master.

As with all of these videos, to get the most out of the re-edited audio, I highly recommend you use ear /headphones and turn the volume up as much as you dare!

This is a good opportunity to listen to same Elvis's song with each takes with subtle difference for a long time to our heart's content.Ann-Margret and Elvis are still the best stars in the world whether dead or alive and they will remain in our memories forever. They must be fantastic and beautiful couple doing a great dance in movie that makes two people fall in love. Thanks for sharing. I wish you all the

This is one of the first Elvis song i ever heard because I wasn't aloud to listen to my dad's records but he had a R.C.A. Camden cassette I can't remember what it was called but it had Easy Come Easy Go Santa Lucia Follow That Dream Long Legged Girl With the Short Dress On, I Love Only One Girl Whistling Tune and a couple more I can't remember what they were now, and it's hard a really cool picture of Elvis looking incredibly handsome with a black suit or something like that

Prefer the studio album master than the movie version, i prefer the sudden stop over the stereotypical Elvis bluesy style ending
