Elvis (2022) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more.
- Stevie Nicks: “Cotton Candy Land” This may be the most off-the-wall pick in the whole film. Little recognizable even to most Elvis fans, the song was recorded by Presley with the Mello Menin 1962 for the soundtrack to the film “It Happened at the World’s Fair” and was never released as a single.
- Chris Isaak: “A Fool Such as I” County legend Hank Snow is a character who figures early in the film, not entirely flatteringly, as a sort of reluctant mentor to the pre-fame Elvis.
- Swae Lee and Diplo: “Tupelo Shuffle” Here’s where the interpolations begin, as Swae Lee and Diplo are credited as co-writers alongside Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup, the writer of “That’s All Right,” Presley’s first single in 1954.
- Gary Clark Jr.: “Black Snake Moan,” “That’s All Right” The contemporary blues great, playing Crudup, as mentioned, is heard singing a couple of numbers, including the one that Presley covered and made his own.
