April 14, 2020
In this Elvis Presley rehearsal clip, the King of Rock and Roll sings a mashup of the song ‘Little Sister’ and The Beatles’ ‘Get Back.’ This special rehearsal footage takes you back to the time before auto-tune was a thing, and you just can’t beat that full, unadulterated sound!
Elvis released the song ‘Little Sister’ in 1961. The song hit #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 list. In the UK Singles Chart, the song reached #1. ‘Little Sister’ became one of those songs on Elvis’ setlist that he would continue to play at all his live shows, including his final live show in Indianapolis on June 26, 1977.

During the filming of the 1970 documentary titled Elvis: That’s The Way It Is, Elvis performed the song ‘Little Sister’ in the studio with his band. During this performance, he fused it with the song ‘Get Back’ by the Beatles. After hearing how well the two songs sounded together, Elvis would continue to perform this mashup for almost three years at his live shows.
