Soundtrack album / Studio album (Reissue) byįrom Elvis Presley Boulevard, Memphis, Tennesseeĭuring the 1970s, Pickwick Records had leased several of Presley's recordings from RCA Records and reissued the soundtrack album in 1976 with a new cover showing a 1970s-era image of Presley and the title slightly amended to Frankie & Johnny. Released either just before or simultaneously with the album, depending if the disputed release dates are correct, 'Frankie and Johnny' peaked at number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100, with the b-side also charting at number 45. The title song was issued as a single, with 'Please Don't Stop Loving Me' on the B-side.
Twelve songs were recorded at the sessions for Frankie and Johnny, and all were used and issued on the soundtrack. With changed lyrics, another publishing royalty was secured for Gladys Music. The title song, 'Frankie and Johnny,' is a variant on the American popular song first published in 1904 and credited to Hughie Cannon. Both are in the public domain, and the team of Giant, Baum, and Kaye captured the publishing for Freddy Bienstock and Presley's manager, Colonel Tom Parker. It is paired in a medley with 'Down by the Riverside', another traditional gospel song dating back to the relevant time period. 'When the Saints Go Marching In' is an old gospel hymn that has become a jazz standard associated with the traditional hot jazz of New Orleans. To coincide with the 19th century setting of the film, some traditional song material was utilized for the soundtrack. It was certified Gold and Platinum on Januby the Recording Industry Association of America. It peaked at number 20 on the Top LP's chart. Recording sessions took place at Radio Recorders in Hollywood, California, on May 12, 13, and 14, 1965. It is the soundtrack to the 1966 film of the same name starring Presley.
