Hi Martin

 

I can’t find any mention of the song in Joe Tunzi’s book Elvis – Sessions III or Ernst Jorgensen’s A Life In Music or in my Sun book but I have come across mention of this song before and Keith Flynn’s Recording Sessions website talks of it B)

and apparently in a book called The Rise And Fall of Popular Music by Donald Clarke, when mentioning Elvis it says

 

‘Casual Love Affair’ was a tune written and given to Phillips by an inmate at the Tennessee state prison and years later a version of ‘Harbor Lights’, such as you might hear in any threadbare small-town supper club, was discovered in Sun’s vault.'

 

mmmmhm very interesting I'd love to hear it I wonder if the upcoming Ernst Sun Project will have that snippet. I hope so.

I'd love to hear it too, let's hope it appears

 

When I was checking it out, one site said that it was called Careless Love and another Casual Love so I'm none the wiser. I've heard the name Casual Love Affair mentioned more than once before but have never heard any more than that :unsure:
