GARY PUCKETT

singer with pop group Gary Puckett and the Union Gap

“Yeah, it was Elvis. I can’t remember what the title of the album was, but I know that you’d recognize it when you saw it. It was the one that had kind of a yellow background with a shot of Elvis from the top of his shoulders up, and he was sort of turned to the side. It had songs like ‘When My Blue Moon Turns to Gold Again’ and ‘Old Shep.’

“That was a great record, and I remember it well except for the title, which is now stubbornly escaping me.

“My folks had recently bought one of those new hi-fi cabinet systems. I don’t think it was stereo. And I remember sitting in front of that thing listening to Elvis sing his tunes.”
