some form of scat. Personally, IMHO, I wasn't that keen on it, but I could
understand Gord's interest in a thread, since the album also included choral
backup from members of the Jordanaires (Elvis) SSOL,and thus was consistent
with the project.

one reason i really like this live version of SSOL, is 'cos i was never keen on the wallofsound choral "ahhhhs" found on the studio recording
similarly, i was never a Fan of the "take or pick or lick a potata" cadence either in studio or live and would have instead enjoyed Red providing his own rhythmic instrumental backdrop for that segment...all the more reason i really like the arrangement JP Cormier came up with...all that aside, TIYS is a real fave of mine
i'd like to have heard a version of It's Too Late, He Wins minus the doowops
speaking of lips, Gord has terrific and expressive command during his Steel Rail yodels
