| Recording Sessions for RCA June 4-8, 1970: RCA's Studio B, Nashville. New sessions, new material----and this time the principal supplier was once again Freddy Bienstock, but now almost entirely from the catalogue of Carlin, the British company he'd just bought from his cousins )and former Hill & Range employers), Jean and Julian Aberbach. The Aberbachs continued to be involved with the Elvis repertoire themselves, but in a competitive role; Julian himself had commissioned a new song, "Stranger In The Crowd," from staff writer Winfield Scott, and Lamar Fike, Elvis's former employee, continued in his role as their principal song-plugged working at Hill & Range's Nashville office. One other result of the thirty-month absence from Nashville---and a favorable one from Felton's point of view---was the opportunity to put together a newer, hipper studio band. The new band---James Burton (guitar), David Briggs (piano), Norbert Putnam (bass), Chip Young (rhythm guitar), Charlie McCoy (harmonica, bass, and organ), and Jerry Carrigan (drums)--all (except for Burton) had longstanding connections with Felton, and their versatile, fluid, rootsy playing made them Nashville's new starting lineup. "Stranger In The Crowd" was recorded June 5, 1970, first released on That's The Way It Is 1970. Also recorded live for That's The Way It Is, The International Hotel, Las Vegas August 13, 1970 Dinner Show |

| I've been standing on a corner Since a quarter after seven I was down to my last cigarette And the clock in the window At a quarter to eleven I was watching all the people Passing by me going places Just the loneliest guy in the town Looking for a friendly smile But all I see were faces And then, just like the taste of milk and honey I found the stranger I've been looking for Like a wave, my cup of love was overflowing I knew the stranger in the crowd And I would be strangers no more The love that comes on the corner At a quarter to eleven I thought you were to good to be true All my life I had believed That angels only live in heaven But now, we share the taste of milk and honey Each day is sweeter than the day before My cup runned overflowing because the stranger in the crowd And I would be strangers no more Deep inside, my cup of love was overflowing I found the stranger I've been looking for Like a wave, my cup of love was overflowing I knew the stranger in the crowd And I would be strangers no more I knew the stranger in the crowd And I would be strangers no more Words & music: Winfield Scott |
