Elvis Presley – I’m Counting On Them

This album brings together two singer-songwriters, both pianists, who made a remarkable contribution to the work and career of the King. While Otis Blackwell excelled in rock ‘n’ roll, of which he was one of the great craftsmen (providing Elvis with no less than three number 1 hits), Don Robertson, on the other hand, was a master in the art of the ballad (several of his compositions would appear on the B-sides of successful singles). Two exceptional artists who deserve a place in the Music Pantheon!
