On May 3, 1957, at Hollywood̺'s Radio Recorders Studios, Elvis and his band were working on a soundtrack session for “Jailhouse Rock". Bill Black had a difficult time laying down the bass line for (You're So Square) Baby I Don't Care on his new electric bass, and he eventually gave up, frustrated. Elvis surprised everyone by picking up the bass and playing the part – so perfect that Jerry Lieber performed a scratch vocal, and the two recorded the perfect instrumental master for Elvis to sing a new vocal track over, which he did less than a week later.
