This first show was attended mostly by Paris’ ‘top society’ members (all dressed in formal evening attire). The French press had little good to say about The Beatles in the next day’s papers, but The Beatles didn’t care, because they’d just received news that their single ‘I Want to Hold Your Hand’ had hit No.1 in the US, selling 10,000 copies an hour in New York City alone.

The Dave Clark Five owned the #1 U.K. song with “Glad All Over”.

That sent “I Feel Fine” by the Beatles to the runner-up spot with the Searchers finding #3 with “Love Potion Number Nine”. “Downtown” from Petula Clark, which had roared from 87 to 41 to 12 to 5 in its chart run was temporarily slowed, only edging up to #4. The rest of the Top 10: the Righteous Brothers were going to be a factor with “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling”, Bobby Vinton’s big hit “Mr. Lonely” was now sixth, “The Jerk” from the Larks, Little Anthony & the Imperials were at #8 with “Goin’ Out Of My Head”, Marvin Gaye moved from 15 to 9 with “How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You” and Del Shannon placed “Keep Searchin'” at 10.

Still in Nashville, the work was resumed at 10.00 p.m. until 5.00 a.m. Elvis started with the second movie song, Stay Away. This was the end of the soundtrack part of the session and with no good material in sight Elvis finally settled on a new Jerry Reed tune: U.S. Male, which was suggested by guitarist Chip Young. In spite of the rule that Elvis was not allowed to pitch any song he liked, there was no demurral from Freddy Bienstock this time. With Reed’s typical offbeat accompaniment U.S. Male was a fitting complement to Guitar Man and the only sensible choice for the next single.
