Johnny Ray's 1954 recording of this is also excellent, not to mention Aaron Neville's Christmas version that really shows the inspiration from Clyde MacPhatter.

Elvis' version was on his "Elvis is Back" album, released when he got out of the service in 1960.

I never really understood what a gift Clyde was to us until I bought TaTa on a 45.It sold me on this artist.I've folllowed his music and I got deeper into the Drifters.What a guy,what a group.

In reply to "elvisinmunich", your ignorance is really showing !! Clyde McPhatter was 21 years old and singing outstanding high tenor when this track was recorded. His voice was the most widely-imitated of the entire decade, and Elvis Presley couldn't hold a candle to Clyde's vocal range. I love Elvis too, but he based an entire career on mostly "covering" other people's original material (like this), with only a handful of originals that he could actually call his own.

It is interesting to listen to these old songs, and to see how Elvis tried to improve them. I like them all. From songs like "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" in 1927, to covers of songs from 1976. It even makes me learn about some "new" artists, sometimes.

Elvis version has a real Deep groove that Rocks. The original has a very subtle Bassline in the mix that does not move at all.

Clyde McPhatter had voice that is so unique to Rock and Roll. There are notes he hits that are so expressive!
