| Studio Sessions for RCA June 4-8. 1970: RCA's Studio B, Nashville |
| June 6, 1970, the third night of the recording sessions began with Elvis taking everyone by surprise by picking up an acoustic guitar and playing the introductions to the familiar mid-60's country hit "It Ain't No Big Thing." Caught off guard, Felton called for a new start, and Elvis abashedly asked Chip Young to take over. The group fell in effortlessly on the midtempo number, but at take six Elvis was banging away again on the acoustic guitar, shouting "I didn't make it on playing a guitar: over the jam that had instantly developed. The take broke down, but even as Felton was trying to steer Elvis back to the song his singer was off again. This time it was a line from Ernie K-Doe's "Mother In Law" that prompted Briggs and McCoy to leap in, to Elvis' amusement: "Don't take much to spark you guts off, man. Couple of words and you're off and running." Finally they returned to the business at hand, and after one more false start the second full take of "It Ain't No Big Thing" became the master. First released on LP "Love Letters From Elvis" 1971 **The Complete Recording Sessions** by Ernst Jorgensen |
