Ain’t This a Countdown: Ain’t That Lovin’ You Baby

Tweet

Autumn arrived! I have Red out (a Red Skelton hoodie I got at the museum in Vincennes, Indiana) to take the bite off. I know what can warm anyone up: a good song! How about another song with “ain’t” in the title? It’s always good to include this gentleman in the countdown! Ain’t That Lovin’ You Baby - Elvis Presley Ivory Joe Hunter and Elvis Presley. What a combination!!!! I love Ivory Joe Hunter’s music. I was introduced to him courtesy of country singer Sonny James, who covered a number of Hunter’s songs. And, of course, Elvis. You probably don’t remember this song because (a) it came out at the start of Beatlemania and (b) it didn’t make the top ten. Elvis actually recorded this in 1958 (there were a lot of songs stockpiled while he was in the Army), but it wasn’t released for six years. That’s why it might sound out of place compared to the other songs of the mid-60s from Elvis. But it sounds good, that’s for certain.
