'Any good singer that's smart knows where his material comes from and then where to go get it', adds Fike. 'It's a business. Elvis was respectful of the writers. He loved Mort Shuman, Doc Pomus stuff and Mike Stoller and Jerry's Leiber stuff. He also liked Don Robertson's music, which was very country. When material came in from any of those writers, he would listen to it real fast'.
