Elvis Presley needs no introduction, he\u2019s the King of rock-n-roll and everyone knows his songs like \u201cCan\u2019t Help Falling in Love\u201d and \u201cJailhouse Rock.\u201d But over the years he\u2019s covered other artists as well, and here\u2019s some rare rehearsal footage of a medley of one of his own songs and one from another superstar group, The Beatles.<\/p>\n

\u201cLittle Sister\u201d is an Elvis hit from 1961 and he included it in live show setlists over the years (he even sang this in his last ever performance). The song went all the way to #5 on the Billboard Hot 100. Country singer Dwight Yoakham also had a hit with it in 1987.<\/p>\n
In this video, Elvis merges his own hit into a medley with The Beatles\u2019 classic \u201cGet Back,\u201d which was #1 for 12 weeks on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 (and 17 weeks on the British version) in 1969. In an ironic twist of fate, the song was The Beatles 17th #1 hit, matching the record at the time that was held by none other than Elvis Presley.<\/p>\n
Elvis\u2019 first live performance of this medley on his Midnight show. But its conception was done a few weeks prior on 29 July 1970 in MGM Studio, Culver Creek, California. In the sit-down play, he fuses both songs into a seamless mix that accentuates his deep voice and is downright fun to watch. You won\u2019t be able to stop tapping your feet!
