For his final two records, David has chosen an Elvis Presley hit that became The King's first US chart topper and his first million selling single. Plus there's Nina Simone's acclaimed cover of a Screamin' Jay Hawkins song. Ken plays another track from the Album Of The Week and there's the Friday round of PopMaster.
