    Recording⭐⭐⭐⭐
    Nearly 26 years after Elvis Presley's death, radio stations and other media began reporting that BMG/RCA had discovered a previously unheard song, “I'm a Roustabout.” The song had originally been commissioned and written by Winfield Scott and Otis Blackwell for the 1964 film Roustabout but was not used. Winfield Scott found the original acetate recording in the basement of his home in New Jersey, and BMG/RCA subsequently added it to the album Elvis, 2nd to None.
