In January 1954, Presley cut a second acetate at Sun Records—Ill Never Stand In Your Way and It Wouldnt Be the Same Without You—but again nothing came of it.[51] Not long after, he failed an audition for a local vocal quartet, the Songfellows. He explained to his father, They told me I couldnt sing.[52] Songfellow Jim Hamill later claimed that he was turned down because he did not demonstrate an ear for harmony at the time.[53] In April, Presley began working for the Crown Electric company as a truck driver.[54] His friend Ronnie Smith, after playing a few local gigs with him, suggested he contact Eddie Bond, leader of Smiths professional band, which had an opening for a vocalist. Bond rejected him after a tryout, advising Presley to stick to truck driving because youre never going to make it as a singer.[55] https://youtube/watch?v=aj_jaSwJCFo https://youtube/watch?v=7lTLzlji7kg
