Musicians:

Backup vocals :

Jeannie Green, Donna Thatcher, Ginger Holladay, Mary Holladay, Susan Pilkington


Notes:

Some of these backup vocal overdubs(not including Ginger Holiday) may have been recorded between January 20-23 with Elvis in the studio. If that really happened, the vocal replacement of This Is the Story is a likely such candidate.
