It has long been reported how Elvis tried to get Jones to accompany him. It's clear why.

This is SUCH a wonderful treatment of the song, and now here is the inspiration. (I think there is another, longer version by Elvis from 1970. Not certain.)

Re: Jimmy Jones
Is that the same Jimmy Jones who sang "Good Timin'" and "Handy Man"?
When the evening shadows fall
And you're wondering who to call
For a little company
There's always me

Re: Jimmy Jones
No. The guy you refer to was a R&B and Pop singer with a terrific falsetto, the fellow in the Harmonizing Four sang bass in that quartet.luckyjackson1 wrote:Is that the same Jimmy Jones who sang "Good Timin'" and "Handy Man"?

Specifically, he tried to get Jimmy Jones to be a part of his May 1966 Nashville dates for the How Great Thou Art album sessions.rjm wrote:It has long been reported how Elvis tried to get Jones to accompany him. It's clear why.
Here's Presley's beautiful May 27, 1966 master recording of "Farther Along," ably supported by the Imperials (with Jake Hess), the Jordanaires, Millie Kirkham, June Page and Dolores Edgin:

Elvis loved the song. You can hear him singing "Farther Along" at the December 1956 Sun Studios jam, as well as at studio sessions in May and June 1971, and December 1973.
