On Stage (Elvis Presley album)

On Stage was an immediate follow up to From Memphis to Vegas/From Vegas to Memphis, which also featured live recordings. Unlike the previous release, however, this album focused on songs that were not, at the time, associated with Elvis Presley. The album features the worldwide number one single "The Wonder of You", which topped both the United States Adult Contemporary tracks chart and the UK Singles Chart. Other selections include "See See Rider", "Yesterday", Tony Joe White's "Polk Salad Annie", Del Shannon's "Runaway", and a version of "Let It Be Me". "See See Rider" would go on to become Presley's frequent introductory number at his concerts up to his last performance at the (now defunct) Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, Indiana on June 26, 1977, while "Polk Salad Annie" also became a regular part of his repertoire. The album is notable for not showing Presley's name anywhere on the cover. The album has remained in print since its release date and has sold more than ten million copies globally. On January 8, 2010, it was announced that a Legacy Edition would be released, to follow the Legacy Edition release of From Elvis in Memphis in the spring of 2010. ==Track listing==
