The Eagles were a 1950s rhythm and blues vocal group from the Washington, D.C. area. They recorded the original version of "Trying to Get To You", better known through the versions by Elvis Presley and The Animals. Advertising for The Eagles' record in "Billboard" magazine indicates that the format of the title was "Tryin' To Get To You", with an apostrophe. The Eagles released "Tryin' To Get To You" on Mercury Records in 1954, the year before Elvis Presley's version was recorded. Presley's vocal delivery appears to be influenced by that of The Eagles' lead singer, but Scotty Moore's guitar solo on the Presley recording replaces a saxophone solo heard on the original. The Eagles had two further releases on Mercury, "Such A Fool"/"Don't You Wanna Be Mine" and "I Told Myself"/"What A Crazy Feeling". An Eagles anthology LP released c.1989 by German reissue label Bear Family, Trying To Get To You, included three additional tracks. LESS
