Elvis Presley Song:

Reconsider Baby (1956)
(Music and lyrics by Lowell Fulson)

A blues song from Elvis' early career. It was recorded on 
December 4, 1956, during the famous informal jam session 
with "Million Dollar Quartet".

You can find this song on the CD Elvis is Back!

"You said you once had loved me,
But now I guess you've changed your mind.
Why don't you reconsider, baby?
Give yourself just a little more time."

If only Elvis had of recorded more songs like this one and less Movie songs he would have been even GREATER than GREAT. Jim

I was not aware that Elvis has sang blues songs until after going to Memphis and walking on Beale Street. This caused a friend and I do research more of Elvis's music and we were very happy to discover this song. We also go to an Elvis tribute artist that loves to introduce the more unknown Elvis songs and what a thrill to discover how truly talented he was. Dar-Indiana

If Elvis was some unknown blues guy from the south and only ever made one recording and it was Reconsider Baby, the 1960 version, then we would be hailing him as king of the blues. This song was recorded in one take as the sun was coming up. The last song recorded for the session 'Elvis is back'. And he was.
