This arrangement for female a cappella quartet starts out by treating Elvis Presley's classic in the style of a heartfelt barbershop ballad, before a dramatic change of key and tempo takes it sashaying into bass melody to rock the second chorus. It is a real holiday crowd-pleaser, as well a great feature piece for a bass with attitude.
