Motorhead - Too Late Too Late

For everyone who depended on the success of Presley, the stakes were high, not one of the characters in this tragicomedy had the right to make a mistake - neither the colonel, prompted by the player’s instinct to put all the money on one card after the break with Hank Snow, nor the company ARC for which 25 thousand dollars invested in a contract with Elvis were a crazy bet. In the past, only Columbia paid a similar amount, having got singer Frankie Lane, but Lane, when he was transferred from Mercury to the Colony’s “stable”, was already a prize horse in the pop music market. Elvis was only the key to unreliable success, although the professional press, led by Cashbox and Billboard, painted it at the end of 1955 as the most promising young country-style talent.
