Elvis went into the studio again and worked from 6:30 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. The Imperials were present too and Elvis was extremely happy with their presence. Because Floyd Cramer wasn't available until 9:00 p.m. David Briggs was booked for the early session. Even after the arriving of Cramer, Briggs kept on playing the piano, because Elvis had grown used to his sound.
