Love Letters by Ketty Lester

Picture Disk 45 with Ketty Lester's recording of "Love Letters"


Following a tip from my old army buddy Don Swigert, I hunted the 1962 version of "Love Letters" by Ketty Lester. She sang it in the key of A in a relaxed 6/8 tempo (allegro, 124 BPM), presenting all of the essential ideas Elvis used in his 1966 recording. She makes me think of Shirley Bassey.

Listen.
