It is also an object lesson in what you might call the misunderestimation of Elvis.In this EIN Spotlight respected author Paul Simpson takes a close look at this classic track from Elvis' first album.“You know the landlord ring my front door bell” has to be one of the most memorable entrances Elvis ever made into a song. His take on Money Honey is unique, unforgettable and unalloyed genius. It is also an object lesson in what you might call the misunderestimation of Elvis.You have probably read that Presley’s cover of Jesse Stone’s Money Honey is identical to the classic Drifters version, cut in 1953, with Clyde McPhatter on lead vocal, which reached No1 on the US R&B charts, selling two million copies. The familiar suggestion is, to use a technical term scholars of popular music don’t use often enough, rubbish.All you have to do to refute this canard is listen to the respective versions back to back. The Drifters’ performance is astonishing enough in its own right to earn the song the number 252 slot on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 greatest songs of all-time. Despite McPhatter’s sublime vocal, it is more of an ensemble performance, with the other Drifters weaving their harmonies in the background, and a superb saxophone solo from Sam ‘The Man’ Taylor driving the song to a frenzied climax.Inspired by a shared joy of discovery, McPhatter screams to encourage Taylor on.

Money, honey, if you want to get along with me. Well, I screamed and I hollered, I was so hard-pressed. I called the woman that I loved the best. I finally got my baby about half past three, She said I'd like to know what you want with me. I said, Money, honey. Money, honey.
