Question
I am from Memphis, Tn. I am a huge Beatles fan. I was wondering if The Beatles or members of it recorded any covers of Elvis' songs, or even happened to record the same song. Thanks

Answer
Hi Andrew , The Beatles didn't record any Elvis songs as far as I know  ,they of course would have sang many Elvis songs in the early days and are seen on the Let It Be film singing Lawdy Miss Clawdy , Rip it up , Blue Suede Shoes ...Lennon recorded Blue Suede Shoes and Hound Dog on Live Peace in Toronto in 1969 .
