Italian Update

Marco Durzu updated the English and Italian editions of his book 'Elvis Presley Songs' to version 1.5. 

The book presents an alphabetically ordered list of 998 songs associated with Elvis Presley. Songs he recorded, performed, or rehearsed between 1944 and 1977.

In addition to confirmed recordings, the list features songs rumored to have been rehearsed or recorded by Elvis, as well as those intended for his August 1977 tour. It also includes performances by members of his band and backing vocalists, such as Kathy Westmoreland, Sherrill Nielsen, The Stamps Quartet, and Voice, at concerts and rehearsals from 1968 to 1977.
