One day in high school chorus (don’t laugh; great place to meet girls) the chorus teacher had a friend visit the class.
I still remember his name. And occasionally I consider tracking him down and slapping him around a little, because of what he said.
This guy lived in L.A., and he knowingly told us Florida high schoolers that Elvis Presley couldn’t sing a lick and it was “all done in the studios.”
Jerk.
I more or less believed him until the first time I saw Elvis in concert. (Then I got into radio and learned a lot more about what can and cannot be done “in the studio” to mask a non-singer’s voice.)
Here he is with Ann-Margret. The fact that she’s originally from Stockholm is just a bonus. (I love Stockholm.)
Lots of great musical numbers in this film. In this one, if you listen closely you’ll hear Ann-Margret’s harmonizing later in the song.

Unless, of course, you went to an all-boys’ high school.
