Question One: Elvis Presley's first love was the gospel music he heard as a child. What remake of a 1953 hit, taken from his gospel recordings, reached Number Five on the Billboard charts in 1965?

Answer: In 1953, the Orioles (later dubbed Sonny Till and the Orioles) released "Crying in the Chapel," a doo wop standard that reached number eleven on the Billboard pop charts. Elvis took the song to number three in 1965.

Question Two: Elvis Presley's first recording for Sun Records in 1954 was "That's All Right" an Arthur Crudup R&B song from 1946. The flip side was a rockabilly version of what country song, written by Bill Monroe in 1946 and released in 1947?

Answer: Bill Monroe wrote and recorded "Blue Moon of Kentucky" in 1946, making it a national hit in 1947 with the help of his backing band, the Bluegrass Boys. The band featured Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. Legend goes that Bill Black started playing it during a recording lull when Elvis began singing it as an uptempo rockabilly song. It became the flip side of "That's All Right."
