  • The Laptop Sessions: “Can’t Help Falling In Love” (Elvis Presley Acoustic Cover Song)

    Congratulations to Mike Fusco for his first Laptop Session!

    It’s been a few months since we started the Laptop Sessions acoustic rock cover songs video blog.  And that entire time, we’ve been trying to get my brother Mike Fusco into the mix, no pun intended.  You may remember Mike Fusco as the famous voice and mind behind Dr. K. on WCJM free internet radio.  You may also remember Mike as the “self-proclaimed teen heartthrob.”  But here on the Laptop Sessions, he’s simply Mike Fusco- singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and fellow mater of the cover song art.

    Tonight, I graciously gave Mike my normal spot in the cover song rotation (in other words, “YES! I get a day off- thank you Mike!), but don’t worry, I’ll be back on Tuesday with another great cover song from another artist we haven’t covered yet here on the music blog.

    Mike begins his tenue with the Laptop Sessions with his emotional cover of Elvis Presley’s classic love song, “Can’t Help Falling In Love.”  Mike did a great job with this, giving the song extra meaning, considering the situation he was in.  I’m happy that instead of just sulking, he turned his emotions into a great cover of this classic song.

    We hope to get a Mike song on the video blog once a week.  He has our full support here and we hope you’ll help welcome Mike to the Laptop Sessions!

  • The Laptop Sessions: “It’s Now or Never” (Elvis Presley Acoustic Rock Cover Song)

    Thursday, June 5th, 2008

    By Jim Fusco:

    Welcome to another edition of the Laptop Sessions, which is gaining popularity in leaps and bounds!

    We’ve had visitors in 12 countries and 18 states within the past 4 days alone!

    Tonight, I finally give you an Elvis Presley song, “It’s Now Or Never”. This is a great, classic tune- originally an Italian song.

    This was a fun one, especially because it’s out of the normal rock style we do here on the Laptop Sessions.

    It’s great to add Elvis to the repertoire, and we’ll be doing many of his songs from now on. Enjoy and see you tomorrow!

Elvis Presley Acoustic Cover Songs

Known for his hip-shaking, known as the “King of Rock and Roll,” Elvis Presley carved a name for himself with his acoustic guitar music, backed by an electric guitar player and other band members. Throughout his career, his new music consistently placed highly on the charts – he had a slew of number one hits over his career, drawing from the material of many different songwriters of the time. He knew how to write a song, but he often drew off the songwriting talents of such duos as Leiber and Stoller. While some saw his performances as too racy, music reviews were consistently in his favor, and he went on playing and recording new music until his death in 1977 at the age of 42. As his songs were largely based on acoustic music, he is a prime candidate for the Laptop Sessions to pay tribute to by recording cover songs.
