Before Elvis, there was Glen - Of songs they sang

by Mike Morgan


I thought it was interesting Glen & Elvis recorded a lot of the same songs. We know Glen played guitar on the Viva Las Vegas soundtrack in '64. Glen also listed as a credit for playing guitar on a '95 cd box set titled Elvis-His Life and Music. Another small piece of trivia, he played rhythm guitar on Shelley Fabares #1 hit "Johnny Angel". That song hit it's peak around 4/62.

I know I didn't catch all of the recordings, but this is what I briefly came across in regards to the songs they recorded. Unless designated as a single, songs are listed on the represented albums.
