Written by: J. S. Pierpont
Originally recorded by Will Lyle in 1889

(Hear Elvis's version on: Home Recordings)

Pierpoint wrote the number as "The One-Horse Open Sleigh" in order to cheer up the local Sunday-school evening meeting.

Will Lyle was a banjo player and made history on 30 October, 1889 by recording the very first Christmas record, his instrumental version of "Jingle Bells." Sadly, no copy of his recording survives.

In 1898 the first vocal recording of the number was made and issued on an Edison brown wax cylinder, number 2218, entitled "Sleigh Ride Party," and attributed to the Edison Male Quartette.
Elvis can be heard playing a snatch of the song on piano prior to "I Asked The Lord."

Samantha Bumgarner and Eva Davis Cindy In The Meadow

trinovantian61 2013-02-01 | Cindy, Cindy recorded by Elvis on Thursday, 4 June 1970; Studio
Written by: Drake; Shirl (based on traditional)
Originally recorded by Samantha Bumgarner and Eva Davis in 1924
Hear Elvis's version on: Love Letters From Elvis; Walk A Mile In My Shoes—The Essential 70's Masters Disc 3
The number is based loosely on an earlier folk song called variously "Get Along Home Cindy," "Whoop 'Em Up, Cindy, "Get On Board, Little Children," along with many other titles.
In April 1924, two Appalachian ladies, Samantha Bumgarner and Eva Davis, became one of the first Country acts to be recorded. The session was held in New York for the Columbia Phonograph Company and consisted of 12 tracks (other sources say ten). The second of these tracks was "Cindy In The Meadows" and it is a clear ancestor of what we know today as "Cindy, Cindy."
(I choose to ignore Ernest Hare & Al Bernard's 1923 recording of "Cindy," which is often cited as an early version of the song, as it bears no resemblance to the song as we know it.)
Various other versions of this traditional number have been recorded, most with different lyrics to those supplied to Elvis. Amongst these: Ricky Nelson (with same title as Elvis's, in 1959) and Trini Lopez (1968 as "I'm Coming Home Cindy).

Bye and Bye - Frank and James McCravy.wmv

trinovantian61 2013-01-30 | Written by: Tindley
Originally recorded by Frank and James McCravy in 1925
Hear Elvis's version on: How Great Thou Art; Amazing Grace (CD 1)
Charles H. Tindley was born in 1851 and died in 1936. He wrote this number in 1905 as "We"ll Understand It Better By and By." He might have recorded the number himself, but this can't be confirmed. Tindley also wrote the song "I'll Overcome Some Day," which later became know as "We Shall Overcome." Furthermore, he wrote the gospel number "Stand By Me." Many sources imply that this is the song with which Ben E. King had a hit in the 1960s, but that was a different number. However, Elvis also recorded Tindley's "Stand By Me" for his own "How Great Thou Art" gospel collection.
Brothers Frank and James McCravy from Laurens, South Carolina, recorded the number as "We'll Understand It Better Bye and Bye" (note the added "e"s on the words "By") in New York in February 1925, for release on Okeh 40319. This was the McCravy's first recording session, but they went on to record hundreds of tracks, often using different names, such as The Lonesome Pine Twins, The Austin Brothers, Al and Joe Blackburn, Cox and Campbell, and The Mack Brothers. They ended their recording career in 1935, by which time they had recorded "We'll Understand It Better Bye and Bye" on at least two more occasions.
