Rumored demo records made by P.J.Proby for Elvis:P.J. Proby did many demos for songwriters Ben Weisman & Sid Wayne in the early 1960's. Also for Ruth Batchelor. Altogether about 25. A few have been released. The rest will one day also be out on cd but such a lot of detailed work (with copyright probs) needs to be done before they are legally free.It takes years to trace who worked on them & if they're still alive. Only a few of the 25 songs were actually chosen to be in any of those movies. Chosen or not they were still great songs!
-King Of The Whole Wide World
-Riding The Rainbow
-I Got Lucky
-Because Of Love
-Thanks To The Rolling Sea
-Happy Ending
-Echoes Of Love
-It’s Carnival Time
Recently the bootleggers released a 5 cd book set: SILVER SCREEN TREASURES 1962-1965 Vol 1, which includes dozen of demos recordings written by Dolores Fuller for Elvis movies

Johnny Rivers.
Elvis & Johnny Rivers were friends in Hollywood in the early 60´s.

Elvis & Johnny Rivers.
Elvis left the studio very pleased with the results, but “Memphis” was never released as a single – and Johnny Rivers was the reason. He and Elvis had jammed together on the song back in Bel Air. Rivers liked it so much he incorporated it into his repertoire at the Whiskey. In May 1964 a live version of the song hit the market and quickly went to #2 on the charts. That killed any chance of “Memphis” ever being an Elvis single......
