I Got Lucky

Performer: Elvis Presley
Distributor: Sony Music Distribution (

Notes: RCA's budget-line label Camden put out I Got Lucky in 1971. The ten-track LP concentrates on '60s material and none of the songs are big hits -- instead, there are songs like "Yoga Is as Yoga Does" and "Riding the Rainbow," which aren't among Elvis' best, so this is a set that's best forgotten. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine RCA's budget-line label Camden put out I Got Lucky in 1971.

"Before Elvis, there was nothing," John Lennon once said. An overstatement, of course, but Elvis Presley's ascendance to superstardom in the mid-1950s kicked off a musical and social revolution whose impact has yet to abate. After the charming young man from Tupelo, Mississippi was discovered by Sun Records honcho Sam Phillips, the wise studio owner took Presley under his wing, leading to the landmark recording of his first single, "That's All Right (Mama)." The rest, of course, is well-documented history, with Elvis going on to conquer the pop charts, the box office, and beyond. He truly was the King, and his blend of country, pop, and R&B became the cornerstone of rock & roll.
