Arguably Elvis last genuine 45 release was his excellent version of Head To Toe in the autumn of 1982. His version was based on the Escorts version, the original version by Chris Clark is on this interesting compilation compiled by Martin Freeman

I didn't know Chris Clark did a version! I thought it was a cover of a Smokey Robinson and the Miracles song, on this:

I like the CD, and well worth getting. It's got me into country music......

If there were a king of fools than I would wear that crown/And you can all die laughing/Because I'll wear it proudly.

Indeed so did I and Smokey did do the first version. According to this,
'‘From Head To Toe’ which whilst written by Robinson, saw better chart action through Chris Clark’s version in ‘67’ ' so we're both right, sort of. Whatever, I'm looking forward to hearing Clarks version. Welcome aboard, oldhamer, good to see some new faces around here.
