(Charles)

Informação:

Ray Charles escreveu e gravou What'd I Say em 1959. A sua gravação (Atlantic 2031) foi um êxito de rhythm & blues número um. Na tabela Hot 100, chegou ao 6º lugar. What'd I Say foi o primeiro disco de Charles a vender um milhão de exemplares e uma das primeiras gravações a conter um piano eletrónico. Outras versões populares de What'd I Say incluem as de Jerry Lee Lewis (Sun 356) em 1962, de Bobby Darin (Atco 6221) em 1962 e de Rare Earth (Rare Earth 5043) em 1972.

 

Elvis cantou What'd I Say em concerto com frequência. Gravou-a em julho de 1964 no Radio Recorders para o seu filme, Viva Las Vegas. O seu lançamento em single, nesse ano, teve uma permanência de seis semanas na tabela Hot 100 da Billboard, chegando à 21ª posição. Elvis foi visto a ensaiar What'd I Say na MGM em julho de 1970 para o seu documentário Elvis - That's The Way It Is.

 

Letra:

Hey mama, don't you treat me wrong

Come and love your daddy all night long
All right, hey, hey, all right now

See the girl with the diamond ring
She knows how to shake her thing
All right, hey, hey, mmm, all right now

Ahhh, ohh, ahhh, ohh, ahhh, ohh, ohh

Make me feel so good, make me feel so good right now
Make me feel so good, make me feel so good right now
Make me feel so good, make me feel so good

Mmm, see the girl with the red dress on
She can do the dog all night long
All right, hum, what'd I say, tell me what'd I say

Tell me, what'd I say, tell me what'd I say right now
Tell me, what'd I say, tell me what'd I say right now
Tell me, what'd I say, tell me what'd I say

Ahhh, ohh, ahhh, ohh, ahhh, ohh
It's all right, it's all right right now
Baby, it's all right, baby, it's all right right now
Baby, it's all right, oh yeah!

Baby, shake that thing, baby, shake that thing right now
Baby, shake that thing, baby, shake that thing right now
Baby, shake that thing, well I feel all right
