| | Connie Francis's version of "My Happiness" came out in 1959. Presley's non-commercial recording for his mother would've dated from around 1952 or 1953, but certainly before 1955. So another male or female artist may have recorded the song prior to Francis's version. |

| | RC - I wonder if My Happiness is the same song that was Elvis' first recording - for his mother. Lyrics were by Betty Peterson Blasco. |

| | The notes on the back of this album refer to I Remember You as being his first yodelling disc - I never regarded it as a yodelling song - just listened to it again and still don't. |

| | Aha! I found it! The Best Of Frank Ifield - EMI/Columbia SOEX-9723(Series 275) and, for RC, the label colour is dark green. The matrix number will put this issue about the same time or just after the Brit issue because the matrix is "SRS-5027 A or B". So, after a struggle, I found the "little beggar!" |

Record Collector 22nd Sep 2015

| | I know this to have been issued here on the Columbia label but my copy has "done a bunk" and gone AWOL on me. Thus I'm unable to give the local number for it. |
