Blue Moon of Kentucky
Elvis Presley Lyrics
Blue moon
Blue moon
Blue moon, keep a-shinin' bright
Blue moon, keep on a-shinin' bright
You're gonna bring-a me back-a my baby tonight
Blue moon, keep a-shinin' bright
I said blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
I said, blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shinin'
A-well-a, it was on one moonlight night
Stars shinin' bright
Whispered on high
Love's said goodbye
Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
Well I said, blue moon of Kentucky, just keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
I said, blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue
A-well-a, it was on one moonlight night
Stars shinin' bright
Whispered on high
Love's said goodbye
Blue moon of Kentucky, keep on shinin'
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer and actor. Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King".
Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African American music to a wider audience.

Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African American music to a wider audience. Accompanied by guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. In 1955, drummer D. J. Fontana joined to complete the lineup of Presley's classic quartet and RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who would manage the singer for more than two decades. Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number one hit in the United States. With a series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records, he became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, made him enormously popular—and controversial.
In November 1956, Presley made his film debut in Love Me Tender. Drafted into military service in 1958, Presley relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work. He held few concerts however, and guided by Parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making Hollywood movies and soundtrack albums, most of them critically derided. In 1968, following a seven-year break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed television comeback special Elvis, which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency and a string of highly profitable tours. In 1973, Presley gave the first concert by a solo artist to be broadcast around the world, Aloha from Hawaii. Years of prescription drug abuse severely compromised his health, and he died suddenly in 1977 at his Graceland estate, just 42 years of age.
Presley is one of the most celebrated and influential musicians of the 20th century. Commercially successful in many genres, including pop, country, blues, and gospel, he is the best-selling solo artist in the history of recorded music. He won three competitive Grammys, received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36, and has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame.

Blue moon, blue moon, blue moon,
keep shining bright.
Blue moon, keep on shining bright,
You're gonna bring me back my baby tonight,
Blue moon, keep shining bright.
I said blue moon of Kentucky
keep on shining,
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.
I said blue moon of Kentucky
keep on shining,
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.
Well, it was on one moonlight night,
Stars shining bright,
Wish blown high
Love said good-bye.
Blue moon of Kentucky
Keep on shining.
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.
Well, I said blue moon of Kentucky
Just keep on shining.
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.
I said blue moon of Kentucky
keep on shining.
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.
Well, it was on one moonlight night,
Stars shining bright,
Wish blown high
Love said good-bye.
Blue moon of Kentucky
Keep on shining.
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.

This is the most important period in rock'n'roll roll history. The early years of Elvis were untouchable.
Monotone
@Eastbay Kidd Elvis himself was great in this regard, and I have nothing but respect for him. However, the same can't be said for the white record labels, promoters, and radio stations who vaunted him above all the black musicians who's music he played.
Eastbay Kidd
@Monotone To be fair, Elvis NEVER claimed to invent rock and roll, and to his credit he made a point of giving credit to the black blues and gospel music that influenced him (and he would have been fair in giving credit to the Ulster Scots influenced music as well). Howard has a relevant point, the scenario of a young southern white boy taking in and synthesizing the multiple influences of black and white musicians (and making it popular on a worldwide scale) was indeed quite significant.
Abraham Lincoln
@Monotone he didn't say he invented rock and roll.
SmartyPants
You mean besides the people of color who he admittedly ripped everything from because labels would only sign white people ?
nigelwestdickens
Elvis sucks and anyone who likes elvis sucks
Gnat Bermbaum
People can have their opinions about Elvis, but NEVERhas there been nor will there ever be a singer who could sing all types of music as incredibly as Elvis. Country, rock, gospel, R and B, ballads,,etc.

Paul could
Deke Rivers
@Agenor G. Oliveira I agree. Thanks! And he put that boom chicka rythm on so many songs whether it fit the song or not.
Deke Rivers
@KovertVerasity Johnny Cash almost always sounded the same, no matter what he sang. I can't listen to an entire album of his without getting bored or annoyed. But, to each his own.
