Elvis Presley - (Marie's The Name) His Latest Flame

Seeing some other Elvis songs posted here lately reminded me of this one, probably my favorite of everything he recorded, with that incredible Bo Diddley beat. This was recorded, along with a few other songs, during an all-night session in Nashville in 1961.

That beat has also made it a favorite for shuffle dancing videos, especially with longer remixes. This is a great one, with some video of Elvis and Ann-Margret included with the shuffle dancers:

That's great exercise, btw...

of calories (can burn more than running) and strengthens a lot of muscles. Wonderful exercise for people who love music.

But as with any new type of exercise, do warmups, be cautious when you start, and talk to your doctor if you have any health concerns.
