Rancid - Let Me Go

And this time, the revelation was random, confirming the role of chance in Elvis' career. But Sam Phillips then did not think about the quirks of fate: he finally had two longed-for songs. Without waiting for the release of the record, he sent out acetate discs to Memphis' most popular radio host, and their reaction, which was very dissimilar, was not long in coming. On WREC radio, where Phillips once started, Fred Cook threw the record in the trash after listening for less than a minute; on the other hand, Sleepy Eye by John Lepley staged Kentucky’s Blue Moon performed by Elvis on WHHM, the leading radio in the local rural community. He himself was not at all "fanatical" of this young singer, posing as a black man, but he could not disappoint the youngest listeners who demanded to put this record on the eve of its official release.
